Thankyou so much for such a detailed response!! I should have mentioned in my original question that I graduated from uvic and was born and raised in Victoria (still live here now) so I know the city very well.
What does it mean for a program to be automatically accredited?
I’m leaning pretty heavily towards SFU at this point, as I think they operate from a lot more of a social justice lens than uvic does. They also make the program longer to accommodate people working fulltime during the program, and I really appreciate the emphasis on accessibility in that regard. I’d also like a change of scenery, and my partner has some solid work opportunities in Vancouver so it makes a lot of sense for us at this point of the game! Both cities are stupid expensive in terms of rent, but I’m not even sure that Victoria is cheaper anymore
thanks so much for your thoughtful reply! It was really helpful
