Transferring is better for 2 reasons:

- GPA for transfer to SFU/UBC with 60 credits is lower than straight from highschool (i.e. 75% is more than adequate -- which trust me, is easy to achieve if you're focused on school)
- You are marked on a curve in most classes, this means against your peers. Although I shouldn't say this, colleges like kwantlen will have more people focused on other things in life like work, therefore their marks will reflect that (basically, it'll be easier for you to get A's).

If you're thinking of going to any kind of grad school, your GPA will matter, and for the most part most won't care where you spent the first 2 years of your schooling. I made the mistake of going straight to SFU -- If I could do it again, I'd take my first 2 years at Kwantlen/Langara then I would have transferred over for my last 2 years -- just for the benefit of padding my GPA.
