I chose langara since I couldn't seek direct admittance to SFU CS program. I hadn't even heard of an associate degree when i applied right after 12th. I was told that i didn't have the marks to get into SFU and was shown this as an alternative path. I'll be able to complete my first two years for cheaper as compared to SFU. Along with saving a ton of money, I'll get into SFU with repeating courses at an average of 3.00 GPA which is very manageable. I would call it a huge surprise since I never thought I would be attending a college instead of a university but I wouldn't change anything about it since I saved a ton of money along with securing a great overall GPA. I was also able to save money to buy a car of own in about a year. So my hunger for good performance is satisfied.
