Please choose your university carefully!

I’m a York commerce major in first year and I am already regretting the choice I’ve made. I got into Laurier and McMaster BBA, however, during the time to make my choice I was only thinking about how much more money it would cost to go there. Of course York commerce is a pretty decent program from what accountants say, but it needed only I believe a 70% avg to get in while Laurier and McMaster needed my avg of 87%. I feel like I chose something below my potential and I am thinking of transferring next year.

REMEMBER:

If money is a problem, scholarships and OSAP (OSAP if the household has below 140k total income I believe) will help you achieve the goal. Also good universities have great connections that give you a chance to get a job in your 3rd year which gets you money and a advantage over other students for jobs.

If being away from home is a problem, you will get used to living by yourself quickly, and remember, these are only 4 years in contrast to your entire future.

Don’t decide on the university because your friends are going. You will most likely barely see them due to different schedules. This is your future not theirs you’re deciding.

Look at rankings specifically for the program. There are rankings for a reason.

If the work lord seems daunting, you’ll never know until you try. And this will pay off

I might be overreacting, but 100% make your choice after reflecting on these.
