    So where should I go for university? School reputability does not matter since it'd fall under UBC for me regardless of where I go. The only difference would be that Kelowna's facilities are brand new.

    Things of importance:
    • Living expenses
    • Accommodations
    • Transportation to Vancouver and back
    • Necessity of a car
    • Things to do
    • Demography
    Thanks!

    I lived in Kelowna for 4 years... I didn't really enjoy it. I'd lean towards Victoria myself.

    Victoria you do not need a car, very well knit place. the "downtown" part is really small lol
    Chinese food sucks there lol

    I say it's more of a city more than kelowna if u don't want to explore so much "nature"

    Any particular reason why? Regardless, I've chosen Victoria.

    What type of food is good there then :p?

    I was born and raised in Vancouver, so Kelowna felt small to me. My bro still lives there and he enjoys it. But he's into 4X4'ing, dirtbiking, atv'ing, fishing, hunting, camping... I'm not really into that stuff.

    I've lived in Kelowna for most of my life, and I agree that Victoria is probably the better choice. There's not too much to do in Kelowna unless you're really into skiing or snowboarding.
