UofA vs. UBC IMP

I am very fortunate to have received offers to both the UofA and UBC Victoria site. I always thought UBC IMP would be my preferred site as it is a smaller cohort which I was drawn to, the location obviously, and I have a support system there.

However, the more I think about it, the more I wonder if being in a city centre will be better for specialization exploration. I also appreciate how the entering class at UofA is a little older, as I am 26 years old myself.

Wondering if folks who are familiar with these programs and locations can offer some of their thoughts or pros and cons for each.

Thanks.
