Whether at a 'larger' university or 'smaller' univeristy, 100/1000-200/2000 courses are practically - and often are - identical irregardless of institution. At 300/3000-400/4000 and graduate levels, yes, 'larger' universities have greater diversity. Thus, Langara, Kwantlen, SFU, and UBC have equal learning opportunities at your level.

SFU/UBC have the edge on clubs and on-campus activities over Langara/Kwantlen; UBC in particular. You have a valid point. University is not an isolated an academic bubble, though, and most would gain more venturing out into their community than exploring institutional opportunities, single-minded.

I would suggest you do not dismiss the advice you're being given so readily, as it's a considerable asset. We've all learnt with age, and we're imparting some of that knowledge onto you, whether you choose to accept it is your call.

I am considering the advice im getting, but the problem is that I dont want to risk going to Kwantlen and not being able to transfer. For example my older cousin wanted to go to med school at UBC. He got into UBC from highschool but decided to go to Kwantlen first. He wasnt able transfer and now he has an associates of science and doesnt know what to do. I dont want to get stuck in a similar situation with a degree fron Kwantlen since employers will look down at that. I know its said that the institution from which you recieve your degree doesnt matter, but in reality it does.
