Hi everyone, First post! I'm trying to decide between the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary for my accelerated nursing degree. I'm actually from Vancouver so I haven't met anyone doing or who has done the nursing program at either schools. This is how I've summed up the choice so far. Basically, the University of Alberta has a better reputation and higher admissions requirements. This might make a difference if I apply for a masters down the road. However, I don't like the idea of context based learning at UoA - I think I would prefer the typical lecture format at UoC. What I like about University of Calgary is that they have a neat simulation centre, the program is only 20 months as opposed to 22 (not a huge difference, but saves a bit of money), and that Calgary is a bit closer to Vancouver. So, any advice given will be greatly appreciated since I need to make up my mind ASAP. A more specific question: I don't drive, does anyone know which program would be preferable if I'm depending on public transit?
