   How it compares

   Among 156 universities in Canada, College of the Rockies sits in the public community college category rather than the large research-university group. Its appeal is the combination of a smaller programme list, applied subjects, and several campuses in southeastern British Columbia, which may suit students who want regional access rather than a big-city university.
