[Canadians] Which university?

[radnomguywfq3]

I was going to ask this somewhere else until I realized I was too fucking lazy to register to another service. Lol.

Anyway:



I've read that SFU is better in regards to 'anything computer related.' But is not as good as UBC in 'regards to engineering science.' So what about computer engineering? So I don't have a lot of money for my education but I'm sort of betting on my Student Loan (IF I can get one, there could be some problems with that -- long story.)

So I'm just curious about which ones you've gone to. Also BCIT is an option but it's _really_ easy to get into and I can't find a computer engineering course, only 'electrical engineering' which isn't really specific to digital electronics and computer design & theory (which would be my main focus).

The fact is, I can glide straight into SFU no problem but I'm probably going to have to start working a little harder to get into UBC, both because I simply can't afford it, and, even if I do meet admission requirements, I probably need to compete with all the people who are clearly better than me.

I'm primarily looking for a school that would teach me a lot of the theory as well as how to solve practical problems. The reason I've decided to do computer engineering is because it's much more difficult to learn on your own than in a class, where as computer programming is something which can be self tought. Additionally, those who employ computer programmers are usually looking for experience and what you _can_ do; not what your post-secondary school says about your grade. I've read that as an officially uneducated programmer you can, with an impressive resume, out-compete those who've got a degree in university. This is not so in computer engineering though.

I'm looking for something that's more local (I live in surrey vancouver BC). I also want a good community and decent classes. I already meet all the requirements for SFU, but as a reference

Chem: 92%-93%
Phys: 89%
English: 75% (BS MARK BTW; it'll go up -_-)
Accounting: IDK but it doesn't really matter :/ The class is both disgustingly easy and disgustinbly useless. I've concluded buisness is a waste of time.

Calculus (NOT AP) I forecast at least 85%, but I am expecting around 90%.
Math Same as above
Comp Prog. Useless class to be taking but probably atleast 90%
Work Exp. Is an easy 100%, all I have to do is stay employed, lol.

Actually, just for the record, who here is into any university chemistry programs, because I'm aslo really interested in chemistry(and I know I can't afford to do both) I'm just curious.

You're too lazy to register for another site yet you take the time to write all of this?

Much luck with college, bro.

If I do this, I multi-task

AND SIR: ARE YOU A CANADIAN?

No, but I'm attending college next year and have visited like 19 colleges.

[why06]

Go to a technical school.

[lostedminds]

my sis goes ubc, ubc and sfu is the best in the vancouver range, bcit is more techinal

[CaT-]

Go to Minnesota Eh

[Alen]

I doubt you'll find many (if any) Canadians that can help you out. Though I'm interested on what might be suggested, I gotta apply next year. And I heard Oxford (UK) has great chem courses

[Markus]

and oxford will look good on youre paper .

What is a Lisp?

[[MPGH]arunforce]

Be a man, goto an American College.

[DoubleDutch]

Lmfao that made no sense at all.

[SjoerdJr...]

Eh google it eh?

[Obama]

Yes it did /yea

[Canadian]

I'm Canadian, but I'll be going to an American university for more advanced courses.
