My preferred program for the Diagnostic Medical Sonographer is BCIT. BCIT would be better for me

with BCIT you do get Co-op not Camosun. Plus, BCIT is way cheaper.

My preferred program to be an Elementary School Teacher is at UFV. UFV has a lot of clarification/
information on what you need and what to do. It is easier to locate the information. UFV is stricter
which is slightly helpful. There tuition is not that big of a gap between then but SFU, even though SFU
is cheaper.
