The. lecture theater at -

Caledonia Secondary School _was filled:to capacity one morn-

ing. last. month by students

~ who were interested in attending

post-secondary institutions after graduation.

by Nancy Orr

Representatives from the three major B.C. universities — UBC, Simon-Fraser and Univer- sity of Victoria —- as well as the: British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), Royal Roads Military Academy and ‘the local Northwest Community College, spoke to the students, outlining what each institution had to offer and its differences, After a short video presentation the representatives went to various locations in the school to conduct small group interviews, with provision for individual in- terviews later if students so wished.

With the exception of Royal

Roads, all the institutions are ©

members of the British Colum- bia Secondary Liaison Commit- tee which makes the arrange- ‘ments for visits to. secondary schools throughout the prov- ince.

According to Mags Gingles, -counsellor at Caledonia, who in- ‘troduced’ the visitors, the visits -in former years had been in early spring, usually March, but this :year October was chosen to give ‘the students more time- to plan for their future.

Jan. Hamilton, advisor, and "George Stanley, academic head, :from NWCC, spoke first, em- ‘phasizing that a community col- lege provides an opportunity to

enter gradually into post-sec-

ondary life; that classes are smaller in colleges, attention is -more individual and the costs ‘are less. They explained that

-NWCC scholarships could result" in 100 percent payment of tui-

tion fees for an “‘A”’ average; up

to 50 percent for ‘*B’’ in Grades .

11 and 12; with the grants for B.C. Passports to Education be- ing applied on top of scholar- ships. NWCC provides second- . year levels in several of the sciences and arts, Transfer to other universities are available, Trades training is an important part of the programs offered.

Paul Thomson, SFU, describ--

ing his university as the ‘‘Alpine university overlooking Indian Arm’’, encouraged the students to “do your homework well.

You are investing four years of

your life,’’

He described -SFU as a medium-sized university, with a trimester system enabling students to choose which semesters fit their life. patterns best. Thomson explained the Co-operative program at SFU in which students are matched for work in employment in their

area of study — they could

graduate with up to 20 months’ work experience. At the same time, SFU encourages students to take a wide variety of sub- jects.

Amanda Hill, BCIT, offered a different option. BCIT trains for employment, with programs of two years or less in trades and technology, and emphasizes specific career + training. BCIT

has atop reputation, with an average of 82 percent employ- ment within nine months of graduation.

Sheila Brygadyr, admissions and liaison officer at Royal Roads, explained that although R.R.M.C. was called a college;

it is in fact a four-year-degrée- .

granting institution, with three colleges across Canada. Students are paid, plus expenses; they take four years of schooling and sign up for five years of ser-

‘day of the second year to with-

draw, if they wish, otherwise ‘‘it will cost money if you quit,” she said, Students become bilingual.

The representatives from the

other two universities, Bob. - Willihnganz, UVic, and Barbara

Talbet and Blair Grabinsky, UBC, were delayed in their ar- rival by air that morning. They arrived- after the presentations were. finished and were intro-

duced to the students before |

meeting with them in the small group sessions.

A lively discussion took place during the question period con- cerning. the cost of post-secon- dary education,. especially as to what should be included in the estimates.

The range was from “no cost’? to RMCC, to up to $10,000 in certain faculties and life styles, with an average sug- gested of $5,500 for eight mon- ths, living in university residence, or, if living at home as at NWCC, just tuition ($800 average) and books ($800

expenses.

“Compare the cost to a

$30,000: car,’’ said Thomson,

SFU, ‘‘and the durability.” Thomson told the students

not to be afraid of costs. ‘‘This

province has the most generous -

financial aid in Canada,’’ he said, and urged the students to examine. instead their aims and goals when making their’ deci-

sions,
