Graduated from BCIT's Electronics Engineering Technology Diploma program. Now I'm in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ottawa. BCIT was MUCH, MUCH harder than university is. Would also like to add that labs in university are generally useless, where as technology schools and/or college labs are much better organized.
IMO, smaller class equate to better teaching. Small classes are nearly impossible in university unless you're in a "unpopular" program with a low number of students.
BCIT has given me much more practical knowledge which I can apply. But the reality is that a Bachelor's Degree is necessary in today's working world.

Wow, another EE!
The stupid thing about uni, is most of the theory and stuff that you learn you dont even use in the workplace.
When I worked at my job over the summer all I need to know from school is P = IV, and V = IR, along with a basic understanding of 3 phase voltages and transformers.
You didnt have to know that crap where you have a big circuit with resistors with inductors and capacitors with a swtich and a billion op amps and diodes all over the place like you see on an exam.
Some of the stuff they teach you is so pointless. [/b][/quote]
It might be useless, but you're learning analytical skills, problem solving skills, skills you're going to need at the workplace.
If you want job training, you go to SAIT where they'll teach you how to do the job you want to do. If you want a career, like IHH said, you go to university, where you learn to think.
