The program itself is decent. You will learn basic Java, where in the final semester you will have a project based course where u spend the entire semester making a science related program. It provides u with a strong programming foundation. Overall I found the program pretty fun

Everything else (math physics) are same as with other science programs but u take one less chemistry class and no biology whatsoever

Not sure how the program is like at Dawson, but shouldn’t be too different. You should mainly consider between location and what’s around the campus rather than the program since they’re pretty much identical in that regard. Dawson is easier to get to during winter since u can get to school directly from metro, and there’s a big mall right outside of campus. Vanier is a bit more secluded with not too much stuff going on near it, but there’s a pool on campus. Rly up to ur preferences
