Representatives from Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria presented materials and told students what to expect in terms of entrance requirements, accommodation and costs. by Nancy Orr University representatives are usually conditioned not to show Surprise at student behaviour, but the group that arrived at Terrace’s Caledonia Senior Sec- * ondary School lecture theatre on Nov. 8 were definitely surprised when they entered the room — the-whole student body stood up to receive them. The occasion was the annual visit from post-graduate institu- .tions arranged by the Caledonia counselling staff to give the graduating class an opportunity to ask questions about some of their options after graduation. Mags Gingles, the Caledonia counsellor who arranged the ‘event, introduced the visitors, inviting them to address the stu- ‘dents briefly before the prear- ranged interviews scheduled for the day. The first speaker, Raelene Rowe from the B.C. Institute of Technology in Burnaby, ex- plained that BCIT is different from the universities because it offers specific skill training and. career preparation. “When you come to BCIT, you have already chosen your career,’’ she said, and proceeded to give advice on entrance re- quirements. “Each program is different, we look to industry to give us their needs and then we work from there. Some careers require specific training; for instance, Lab Technician requires a First Year University or College Sci- ence.”’ Rowe suggested that if stu- dents were not sure of their ca- reers they should try a year or two at a college to give them more experience and to upgrade their marks for more opportuni- ty to enter, She encouraged trade training at the local col- leges, with the opportunity to go . to BCIT for further technology training. Angela Kataham from the University of Victoria referred to the reason for choosing to go to university, of the change in lifestyle, of personality, of thinking and decision making, of the introduction to new ideas and challenges. She spoke of Victoria as a ‘“‘small campus with big opportunities; a small university, warm, and comfort- able with a dgissez-faire atmos- phere.” Paul Thompson from Simon Fraser University in Burnably cautioned the students to take time, to be careful and selective, that this is a most expensive in- vestment for them in time and money. “It will cost you from $7,000 to $10,000 per year,” he said, “for four years. That’s $28,000 to $40,000. Take time to visit campuses and compare.” ’ Thompson said that SFU is designed to ‘‘meet your needs, not our needs.”’ SFU uses a trimester system, arranged in blocks of four months, to let students enter and leave as they see fit, or as it suits their work. Thompson said SFU offers two years to make up your mind before selecting your major, giv- ing you more opportunity to shop around, a philosophy that recognizes a broad variety of skills and encourages diverse in- terests, and a cooperative work/ university program that gives you not only work experience but also teaches how to get a job. o> Blair Grabinsky from the Uni- versity of British Columbia warned the students that they must work hard for entrance requirements. In some faculties, such as science, there were 3,000 applicants for 420 positions. ‘You would need a solid B aver- age there,”’ he said. He said that although UBC is large, the campus area is actual- ly small and easy to get around, surrounded by lots of grounds and endowment lands that sep- arate it from Vancouver. Stu-— dents at UBC, he told the stu- dents, can’t wait to return. “Talk to grads,’’ he said, come down and visit. Write. We have tours every Friday and orientation in August.” The final speaker was Ian Hamilton, of Northwest Com- munity College in Terrace, who urged the students to take this one-time opportunity to talk to the out-of-town visitors. "I'll be here any time during the year waiting to talk to you,” he said, to cheers from the audience. Hamilton said enrolment is up 20 percent-in academic courses at NWCC and cited several pos- sible reasons: students are often unsure and come to NWCC for a year before deciding what to do; the college provides a bridg- ing experience between the style of post-graduate study and public school; and it’s often a question of money, too. “Tuition at NWCC is half that at university,’? he said, ‘‘and no travel expenses, probably less for room and board and other costs. Also, NWCC has a very good scholar- ship offering — 100 percent of tuition for an A average; 75 per- cent for B+ and 50 percent for a B.”’ Hamilton went on to speak of the trades training at the college and the many opportunities in such things as business adminis- tration, welding, cook training, mechanics, and electronics. After the speakers had fin- ished, the students dispersed to their prearranged schedules for talks with the representatives for the balance of the morning.
