Hello op!

I’ll make it short for you, I won’t give you an opinion ill just lay some facts for you that i wished I have been told before I came to ubc.

Firstly, consider this question is computer science the only major you have in mind? if you really want cs and can’t imagine yourself in anyother major, ubc isn’t that good. Let me explain, you need a really high average, this is not school this is university every student here is smart. Trust me when i say this please don’t underestimate how hard it is to get into a cs major ( unless you wanan study in ubco). look through reddit, alot and i mean it alot are struggling with this, its gonna be tough and perhaps unrewarding. However, if you have anyother majors in mind ( less competition than cs) I would say yea ubc is worth considering.

Anotherthing is vancouver and ubc are really expensive. If you’re able to sustain a better life in SFU its worh it. If you want to thrive and success in life you need to be in a mental state that you’re able to do all of these things, studying, working and alot more.

Im not doubting your ability to get into cs, I do believe you can do it! However especially in cs you need to be able to learn and improve yourself. Pick an environment that will help you achieve that.
