Transfer from university to university?

I would like to spend my first year in Kamloops, BC at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) to begin my degree in Business. The year later I was thinking about transfering to Vancouver to attend the University of British Columbia (UBC) to continue my degree in Business. Is this a good idea? Is it possible? How do I go doing so? Is it hard? My uncle is saying the first year will be a waste of money. Is he right? someone please help me. The deadline for UBC is already over so I couldn't attend now anyway. i am an average student.
