Graduating from both SAIT and University I must say that the way they approach things is vastly different. I can honestly say that I found my two years spent at SAIT FAR more beneficial then the three years spent in University.
Difference being I found SAIT to be more hands on and practical rather then the University approach of "here is a text book, learn the concepts and I will test you on it"
Thoughts?

University is the biggest waste of time ever. Especially from an Engineering standpoint. They teach you stupid equations, and theories that you don't need to know in real life. At SAIT they teach you what you have to know. In my experience techs and field guys are the most knowledgable people out there. They are the ones that do the hands on work and figure out how things really work unlike us University dummies who know nothing except how to simulate things in Matlab.
However, having a University degree does help getting promotions and stuff. It has its perks. Still though, I really have a big problem with how Universities teach compared to tech schools.
