UBC Enrolment Numbers are Rising

Thanks to a significant surge of students from outside British Columbia, the University of B.C.s first-year class of 2008 will be more geographically diverse than ever, even as the number of B.C. Grade 12 students declines in some areas.
UBC?s Vancouver campus will welcome 5,405 first-year students up from 5,035 in 2007 which includes increases of 50 per cent from Ontario, 36 per cent from Alberta, and 48 per cent from other Canadian jurisdictions.
The number of first-year international students is up by 19 per cent on the Vancouver campus and 27 per cent on the Okanagan campus, compared to 2007.
