Engineering

UBC offers two types of electrical engineering: tradition schedule(university style) and project integrated schedule(BCIT style).

There are also many programs in electrical engineering such as nanotechnology, robotics, biomedical, electrical energy and renewable resources, etc...

Hey guys, need some input here. I'm really undecided on going to ubc vs sfu. It's largely a matter of convenience and money.
Here's my situation:
I live near Production Way skytrain. So for me, the commute to sfu would take max 20 minutes. To go to ubc would add another 30+ minutes + stress. The entrance scholarship for 90% average to SFU is $1500 more than UBC. This would help me a lot because I'm mostly paying my whole way through school.
I'm getting about 91/92 average among math, chem, physics 12. By no means am I a high class intellect, I just really enjoy the subject material. Would this affect my decision?
Pretty confused.. any input would be appreciated.

One more thing that might sway you to SFU: SFU Open Undergraduate Scholarship. After your Entrance Scholarship finishes its disbursements, if you achieve a CGPA of ~3.60, you're automatically eligible for the Open Scholarship which awards ~$110 per unit you take. So (in ENSC) at an average of 17 units per semester, that's roughly $1800 in scholarship funds. That's not an insignificant amount of money, if you're decent at studying.

EDIT: Also, if you have some volunteer/community service experience, apply for SFU's Major Entrance Scholarships. If you can spin a good essay, you have a good chance... SFU gives 40 Gordon Shrum awards per year, $24,000 each. UBC's is by school nomination--if you can get a nomination from your school, apply for that too!
