So I commuted via a Sky Train and a Bus to get to UBC...took about an hour, so Burnaby to UBC is like Pointe-Claire to downtown.
Things I noticed:
- Everyone dresses either generically American, or Indie (Urban Outfitters-esque) or Fobby. No one dresses like we do in Montreal with designer clothes.
- The campus is BEAUTIFUL. It's built in the middle of nowhere so they have a lot of space to expand it. (Unlike Concordia and McGill being built downtown with limited space but up).
- a lot of interior eateries, which is not needed in downtown Montreal :P.
- the radius of the campus is pretty much walking from Concordia to McGill
- I saw an eatery on Broadway St called "Montreal Smoked Meat." I must try it out, and they said they have poutine!
- A&Ws has poutine and I saw people eating it...I don't know if I want to risk it!
update:
- the Broadway St is eerily similar to Sherbrook street before downtown.
