<p>HeLp!
i'm having trouble deciding between the two... i'm pretty sure i will be accepted by both.
i'm looking at biology/premed and currently live in vancouver.
it seems the natural choice to choose UBC, but i'm a little bored with vancouver. know the town, know the campus, know the people.. extension of HS.. </p>
<p>but there's the $ as well.
ill probably receive $4000 from UBC and none garanteed for Mcgill yet.. i WILL be able to save a lot in UBC since i would be living home. sigh. bit frustrated. </p>
<p>any wise words on pros and cons of those two? thanks big time!!!</p>
<p>I think you should go to McGill if the money isn't a big issue.</p>
<p>I'm an international at UBC right now, and it's a great school. The people are friendly, the campus is beautiful, and the city ain't too bad. But yeah, it can get boring after a while. And if you've lived here all your life, then going to college as an extension of high school probably isn't a great idea if you could do otherwise. I think having new experiences in college is important, and if UBC isn't going to do it for you, then you should give McGill a shot.</p>
<p>I'm in UBC at the moment but I hope to transfer to McGill next year. Just that McGill seems to be a better school for the arts and I feel like while Vancouver is a decent city, Montreal would be an awesome place too.</p>
<p>ya like thedoverdemon said, i think i would want to experience something new. (however, i have only been living in Vancouver for 4 years. ) </p>
<p>there's also another concern. i heard that mcgill is extremely competitive. anyone have any idea how the competition compares with UBC? i really want to achieve good marks in university as i aim to apply to an US graduate school.</p>
<p>Yeah, what program are you looking into, and what kind of college experience are you looking for? What things matter to you more? Reputation, campus location, atmosphere, etc.?</p>
<p>UBC is probably best known for its math, computer science, and sciences program in general. How that compares to McGill, I can't really say. But either way, I think both are good schools.</p>
