I don't know much about the Stats department, but the probability group in the Maths department ranks amongst the best in the world.....

I also heard some good things about UBC, but how good? I really have no idea unless s we ask those current UBC students.

Thank you both for your comments. Any UBC stat student want to share their opinion?
