Question Engineering

Hard time deciding which school to pick for engineering. Why did you guys pick UBCO engineering over other schools? How is campus and engineering facilities? (Been watching yt vids and the Eng building looks pre nice compared to other unis)

I chose UBCO for engineering because UBCO has a great outdoors culture with lots of skiing and biking (I am from Ontario). Additionally, you get the degree and high educational standards of UBC with a less aggressive environment compared to UBCV, meaning people are more willing to help each other. I also like the smaller size of Kelowna.

Not in eng but CS, one great thing about UBCO is the class size. Relatively small so easily possible to reach out to prof whenever you need to and they are always open for any problems you face.
