International (MLIS)student to UBC (maybe)

[Weepsie]

I've applied to do an MLIS course at UBC from September next year. I should find out soon enough if I'm accepted but then have to decide between there, home (Ireland) and Wales to do the degree. I've gone through reasons for going to any of the three but maybe someone on here can enlighten me further as to UBC's charms etc. If money wasn't a factor it'd be UBC, but I'd just about cover fees, rent, healthcare I think without and probably a few months worth of food too.

Any input is welcome.
