So I think the biggest part about choosing a university at the moment is the fact I focus waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much on it's prestige. It's unfortunate because where ever I look on the internet, it's people bashing the university that I'm leaning towards over another university in my area.

Just so everyone isn't confused, I'll just name the universities right away so you'll get an idea of what each one is (doubt you'd hear of any of them).

Simon Fraser University (Ranked 198 Top public universities in the world): SFU
University of British Columbia (Ranked top 30 public universities in the world): UBC

Now I've got accepted to each, but, UBC is very far from my house (50 minutes transit) and SFU on the other hand, being very close (5 minutes transit). Also another complication is that I only applied to UBC sciences but I'm leaning towards applied sciences at SFU.

Debate about university rankings, are, just total chocolatestorms full of fan boys that bash each other.

Which is why, like always, I write about this sort of stuff; I'm telling myself that I should just ignore the haters (all who sounds like highschool students) and just go to SFU and save money + do something i want to do.

Or am I making a mistake and should consider my universities name for my undergrad, even when I'm slightly less inclined to finish a science degree?

I hate elitism, nuff' said.

Also, I've finished Organic Chemistry (yayyy); spent the whole day sleeping today and I don't know why, ugh.
