Which is the better option, UBC or UVIC? (I need to keep my scholarship).

Hi everyone! This is my first post on here so apologies if I'm doing something wrong.

I recently received a full ride to both UVIC and UBC(van). UVIC is my first choice - I prefer the program, location, and smaller school - so I thought I had already made up my mind. However, I was told that to keep my scholarship at UBC I would have to keep an average of 75% each year, but to keep my scholarship at UVIC, I would have to keep an average of 85-89%. I absolutely cannot afford to lose my scholarship, so now I'm wondering if it's worth going to UBC just for the likelihood of being renewed.

In terms of academic rigour, I've heard that UBC and UVIC are equal, but I've also heard that UBC is significantly harder. Which one do you believe to be true? If UBC is more difficult, would that maybe explain the large gap in scholarship requirements?

I am going into sciences first year and my goal is to enter either behavioral neuroscience at UBC or a combined major of bio/psych at UVIC.

Thank you!!
