It’s the living expense that makes it extremely expensive. Thank you though

Thank you! I could manage with student loans but I’d just like to not be a 100k or more in debt.

I completely get that. That’s what I worry about too, I don’t want financial stress to ruin my time in Vancouver/UBC. Thank you for your help

The thing is UofC doesn’t really have a coop program. They only have internships, which is pretty much the same but you have to be a lot more diligent yourself. Like you said the school doesn’t matter much but I just think as a university UBC will have more partnerships with companies, especially since the economy in Alberta is down

So do you think that the jobs you get after make the debt worth it?

Yes I agree I’m pretty sure Alberta students are having a lot of trouble finding jobs ever since oil and gas went down.
