Few factors
-U of A offers some programs U of C doesn't.
-Its much easier to get into some programs at U of A than in U of C(eg. Engineering).
-A seems to add seats in departments wheres C takes them out(unless Schulichs or Haskaynes come around).
-Like some mentioned, higher regards for U of A.
-Chance to get away.
I've seen the 2nd one used a lot. I've had friends and ppl i know who have transferred to U of A after a year at U of C, especially in engineering.
Myself, from Calgary. Going to U of C, taking engineering. Im fine with it.
