I currently go to MRC. I'm an english major.
I'm supposed to transfer next year, as MRC itself doesnt offer an english degree. I've applied to a few colleges, but havent heard a final decision from any of them yet.
The schools I've applied to are:
UBC
UofA
Athabasca
UoL

With Athabasca, I would be obtaining my degree from them through or at MRC. For some reason, to me having this a degree from this school wouldnt seem as good as a degree from somewhere else.
The more I talk to people, it sounds like I won't be getting into UBC, as everyone says that is a very tough school to get into.
I'm not too fimiliar with the transfer process, but the alberta transfer guide says that 4 or 5 of my classes won't transfer to UofA.
They transfer to everywhere else (UBC is unknown, as there is no set transfer agreement in place).

To transfer to a school, you can only transfer 20 courses or half your degree. So far I've taken 15 classes, so I could technically take 5 more @ MRC before I have to transfer. Which is one semester.
My mom wants me to take those 5 classes @ MRC again next year, then take a semester off and transfer to UofC.

I don't currently live with any of my rents, and I'm not originally from Calgary. I've lived here for 4 years.
All of my family is however from here, and lives here except for my father who lives in Seattle.
I'm kind of at the point in my life where I wouldnt mind moving again and experiencing something new. Each school has its perks to me. UofL would be the only place on my list that I wouldnt know anyone there.

Thanks
Any input and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
