If our prof gives us time during our lecture to work on a group project I can bet you a million dollars the whole class will end up in the Pit (our main campus pub)with pitchers and pints working away. Also when we meet with our profs for extra help we will often go to one of the campus bars for a pint and to talk things over - I kid you not!!

Okay, I just have to step on here and clarify some things ...
I am sorry Siobhan, but you make it sound like we are alcoholics here at UBC! I have also gone to school here for 5 years, and have yet to have a 'class' at the Pit ... sure, I visit the Pit, Gal & Koerner's too, but not as often as your post made it seem like.
In your post, you also made a comment about their not being any problems with alcohol in our greek system or at our campus -- how can you make such a generalization on a campus of 35,000 students?!?! I KNOW of a number of people, personally & otherwise, both WITHIN & outside of the greek system, that have had alcohol-related hazing problems
Please Siobhan, DON'T assume that you speak for all of us here at UBC - you don't! I have sent out a copy of your posting to others here at UBC so that we can truly get an accurate representation of campus life.
I am sorry if I sound upset, but please, CHECK yourself.
