Between these two options in Psychology, I would choose UVIC. I would choose UVIC

because, despite the fact that after all the fees to attend school (tuition plus housing and

transportation since it is not local) it would cost me a lot more, I think that the program has

more to offer me. I have always wanted to attend UVIC whereas I am indifferent to attending

SFU. I also like how UVIC is less specified than SFU (Educational Psychology). I thought

that Educational Psychology would be interesting considering its specification. However,

Psychology on its own would give me more flexibility when applying for jobs.

I would choose a Bachelor of Education from UFV. I would choose UFV simply because of

TWU's insane price for five years at school compared to that of UFV. UFV’s course is a little

longer in total considering you would have to take a four-year bachelor's degree in a

“teachable subject,” before applying to the program. However, including the four years

before the program, UFV is still significantly cheaper than TWU.
