I wouldn't pay that much in tuition for a school that few know about.

But the location is awesome.

Great location, great idea, nice looking school.

But class choices are really limited, and you can only get 1 or 2 degrees out of the university. Tuition is really expensive, i know they do give out hefty scholarships though. And as its new and not very reputable, chances of getting into a good grad school are lesser than it would compared to ubc or other schools.

I personally know people that go there and love it, seems like a good time, close to whistler, really outdoor based. Night life isn't great for going out as theres no frats on campus though, so it's a lot of getting drunk in dorm rooms, which personally i do not find enjoyable after a while.

place is sick, but very speciallized in degrees and such, my cousin goes there as well as a couple of friends and they all love it. as a skiier ya cant beat the location, you got whis and the north shore almost literally in your backyard and the bc/touring possibilities are pretty much endless. also their system of doing one course at a time seems to make alot more sense than the traditional simester system. if yer willin to flip the 50 g's a year or got maad scholarships then i say givver

Congrats on paying more for tuition in one year than I pay for my whole undergrad dergree here at UBC. Hope that "Quest University" piece of paper is nice and shiny.

Everything sounds legit - except for the name. The name sounds like DeVry or some other tv commercial school.
