^^ Technically 3rd year, but I took a year off. I'm actually in the visual Arts program, but only there because I plan on transferring to Communication Design.
If you honestly are willing to make art for a living I really suggest coming to Emily Carr. They offer a lot of flexibility in terms of the types of courses you can take and really prepare you to be a complete artist. It's good if you're even unsure as to what medium you want to specialize in, because in first year you do everything... film, drawing, painting, design.. etc. After, you have a pretty good idea as to what you want to do. I took some time off to see what other programs were offered in Vancouver... I considered AI, ACAD, Cap U but ultimately I stuck with ECU because I believe that they are the best at teaching concepts and developing them. Anyone can take a computer class on CS4 but creativity isn't something you can just buy. Don't get discouraged by the art freaks and AYO lookin people on campus haha, they're mostly misguided first years that eventually get filtered out.
How is the program at UBC anyway? which year are you in?
If you have any questions on portfolio or anything get at me man. The only reason I was able to get in was because I met a ECU senior at some random party a long time ago and he went out of his way to pretty much walk me through the whole process. Working on that good karma now haha.
