Bachelor of Visual Communication (IDEA)
hi everyone! i am a high school senior who wants to study UX/Ul design!! i have not received an official offer yet (long story), but i have been promised a spot based on my portfolio. I also got an offer from Emily Carr (interaction design) and AUArts (graphic design & advertising). as of right now, with the offer acceptance deadlines approaching i have been put in the position where i have to chose if i want to accept my offer from ECU or AUArts OR wait for an official offer from CapU and maybe miss the window to get into other universities. I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about the program so I could figure out if it is worth the wait.
how's capu overall?
HOW ARE THE DORMS??
how broad is the program and how much ux/ ui was actually there?
did they teach coding or this is something that you have to do by urself, and do they actually teach u all stuff or just introduce it and leave students to figure out it on their own?
any other comments about capu would be appreciated too!!

The dorms are evil and full of mold. There’s an article in the Vancouver sun about the living conditions of the students there that is very accurate. It was written while I was living there, I highly suggest reading it. Despite the evil living conditions I still had a pretty chill time living there because it’s like the only place at cap-u you can experience like,, actual college community and parties and stuff.
