opinion of grad schools of undergrad umd/ubc degree

<p>I'm a transfer trying to decide between University of Maryland and University of British Columbia and my parents are absolutely convinced if I go to UBC I will not get into a good grad/law school (leaning towards grad school though) or even a job. Does anyone here know how a degree from either school is viewed by graduate and law school admissions?</p>

<p>I'm majoring in linguistics and will minor either in Enviro science or history. I'm also a US citizen.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
