I am an international student. I have been selected by both UBCV and UofT Scarborough for a bachelor's in Psychology. At UofT Scarborough, I have received a 100,000 CAD scholarship spread over 4 years while at UBC I haven't received any. Though UofT's offer is more tempting, I am confused as Scarborough's not the main campus and it is really boring (as per people) with almost no parties and the academic load is more. While on the other hand, UBC V's campus is really beautiful, parties happen frequently but then the cost is high as I got no scholarships at UBC.

So which one should I choose?

How important is the financial aspect to you?

#

That seems to be the biggest deciding factor. UofTS is very similar to a smaller liberal arts campus.

As a Canadian

#

They are right about UofTS

#

But it’s not a bad school at all

#

It’s great

#

Some people like it

#

I don’t know if the academic load is “more” ur getting the same but at a different location

#

Scarborough is okay it’s nothing amazing location wise

#

But like if UBC is a shit ton of money you don’t want to be spending that for an undergrad in psychology

#

Especially since most people usually specialize with grad school in the field

#

UofT in general doesn’t rlly have a party culture the partying is just done downtown Toronto cause like there are clubs and legal age here is like 19

#

For most things

but many people say that UBC's psych department is better than UofT's, so is it true?
