The University of British Columbia and its reputation?

Question

Yes I have heard about the national rankings with UBC in vancouver being placed on the 34 top world universities. But I wonder what sort of reputation does it hold with the common folks out there who are considering going to universities. Or perhaps folks from IIT (indian institute of Technology) or MIT have in regards to this University perhaps from their graduate students?

Answer 1

Pretty well regarded. One of the chemistry profs there won a Nobel Prize in the 1990s and recently Carl Wieman, the 2001 Nobel Prize winner in Physics was lured to a position at UBC.

Answer 2

It is one of the best universities in Canada. It has an excellent finance department. I can't say much about its other departments.

Berkeley hired one of their finance PhDs when I was a PhD student there. He was considered one of the best people on the academic job market that year. He turned down offers from Duke and other prestigious universities to take the position at Berkeley.

After I got my PhD, I taught at MIT -- which had brought in a visiting professor from UBC who is very highly regarded.
