I am in the BCom finance program, 4th year. I don't know how the marketing program is, but my friends enrolled in it tell me they enjoy it and many of them have obtained quality jobs, so it must be decent. Pricing is middle of the run, ~$8k annually with books. It's fun, the people are nice, alot of geeks though. 3rd and 4th year are much better than 1st and 2nd as you get smaller and more specialized courses. Workload is above average in 3rd year, but I found 4th year fairly slack. You can honestly just go to classes, do the assignments, don't study at all and pull across the board Bs fairly easily. But if you want to beat the curve, you gotta compete and work hard at it. It's pretty competitive as most people want to find work in Vancouver and there are scant quality jobs (in finance atleast, most in Toronto, bit easier for marketing and accounting, but still competitive). They do accept transfer students, check http://bctransferguide.ca/ for more details. If you have more questions, just ask.
