I like the Kootenays, but won’t I do better if I go straight to university, rather than going to college first?
Research shows1 that by the time they finish their degrees, students transferring from a college perform as well as students who go to university directly from high school. Five years after graduation, the two groups are the same in terms of how satisfied they are with their university experience, how likely they are to have found a job, and how much they earn.
