BCMN - Information Design student here,
MRU is the perfect university. Class sizes are smaller, which means more face time with your professors, and a more interactive learning experience. We get a bit of flak from other school's students for formerly being a college, but in the workplace, I've found a major lack of arrogance when it comes to where you got your degree. Unless you're getting into Master's and PhD stuff, MRU is amazing place to get an undergrad. You get more for your money by having that much access to the faculty. The support systems there are incredible.
If you have aspirations of moving upward into graduate studies, MRU feels like there's more available resources to help keep the GPA on lock. It's not easier, the system is just better.
The only thing that is an absolute nightmare is the parking sometimes. Since I started there, they've closed three massive lots. Still a five star experience.
