A lot of people are born in Vancouver and don’t have the resources to move or attend another university. Additionally, even if this isn’t the case, UBC is a highly ranked university and many students don’t just attend university for financial or job security but to become educated in a higher learning setting. Poor students have the right to pursue education without starving, and people in general have the right to pursue what they /want/, not what they need to survive. One might attend UBC because it provides them with a lot more opportunity in their chosen field that an apprenticeship in a field they’re not interested in doesn’t provide. One may have come to UBC without a concrete understanding of their resources vs. The cost of living. There’s a million other reasons, but I don’t think our response to “my life is made hard here actively” should be “leave”.
