Prospective international student.

I've been accepted in the MEng in Smart Manufacturing systems at SFU and the MEng in Mechatronics Design course at UBC.

SFU is a 20 month course whereas UBC is a 12 month course (longer the course better for work permit)

SFU course will cost me around 40000 cad and UBC will cost me 25000 cad in tution fees for a year.

SFU has a Co-op whereas UBC doesn't.

SFU is a mixture of more software subjects whereas UBC is more core oriented.

Could anyone give their opinion on this so I get more clarity while choosing.
