They mention their previous academic struggles and desire to transfer to a university eventually. Fellow enthusiasts suggest Capilano University and Douglas College, both of which offer transfer programs. The person also inquires about the quality of Douglas College's physics courses and if they can be transferred to either university. They also mention that they will be living in Surrey.

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts!

I am new here and I want to start by asking a question. My family is migrating to Canada in May and I want to go to college, I am currently a 3rd year Electronics Engineering here in the Philippines. I thought of applying to the University but it seems that I have a low chance of getting in because of what happened to me earlier in my academic life. I got kicked out of the top university in our country(because of academic delinquency. I am so stupid I know). Now, I am planning on applying for college then transferring to a university eventually. So here is the question:in which college do you think I should go if I want to go to UBC or SFU and take up physics, and how long do I need to study in that college so that I can fulfill the admission requirements of both universities?


Thanks!
