I'm using Macbook Pro 13 inch late 2011 and I have just installed Ubuntu 15.04 on it successfully using a bootable USB stick. I followed this post http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx to make a bootable USB stick. When restarting machine, I hold option key until I see an option to boot from the USB drive. Surprisingly, it worked only for Ubuntu 15.04 ISO file I downloaded from Ubuntu's web site. For other previous versions such as 10.04 and 11.10, the USB drive is not bootable at all (it didn't show up boot menu).
Note that if you have an external hard drive and want to put Ubuntu Live on that partition to make it bootable, it wouldn't work. You can only do it with the entire USB drive.
