in canada, at least in my province, tuition is on average.....

[johnsonmygun]

I party!

[omeezy4sheezy]

yep, that's nuts. i would love to transfer to u of t or york university. but it'd cost me an arm and a leg and a 90% average. not sure if i could get that really without sacrificing my social life entirely.

Schulich costs about 6000$ a year brah, dont know what youre talking about. if youre that much in need too, you could just get OSAP and pay back what you can when you can and just pay off the remainder when you get a job (prob high paying w/ that degree too)

[johnsonmygun]

o ya and:

[N.W.A]

nah but seriously, everyone and their momma can go to uni in america. it's the god to honest truth. like i said before, its actually HARD to get into university here. you have to have at least an 80% just to get into the arts at most schools. if you want to get into engineering you'll have to have mid to late 80's.

Thats the same here. But in America instead of percentages we use GPA. 80% is a 3.0. Most programs here require you to have at least 3.0 to get in. Some even reject 3.2 GPA students.

Yo wtf, Im doing 150$/semester. and About 200$ in books, quebec wrecks you all.

[colt.45]

i don't know what you're talkin about, but western isn't a joke school. western is one of the best schools in canada, and one of the top schools in north america. probably in the top 30-40 im guessing.

I'm not going to say Western is a joke but it is extremely overated as it is. Western is known for its drunkeness etc. Drunk students = weak competition = not as good as any other "good" canadian school

[ho_124]

3000/ 5 classes..

americans mad?

(also, uni is actually hard to get into in canada. any joe blow with ****ty marks can get into "university" in america)

i say the opposite. im canadian and i know full well that alot of universities you just have to have a pulse to get in

[Stripez]

canadian ivy schools =

toronto, western, mcgill, waterloo

first 3 are comparable to any schools in the U.S.

http://www.arwu.org/ARWU2009.jsp

strong lol @ this ranking system

mcgill strongly regarded as one of the best schools in the world

toronto is the equivalent to harvard in canada

western isn't a "joke school" or a "drunk school"

it's known for its ivy business programs and other ivy programs, it does have alot of parties of course, but funshawe is right around the corner and it accepts a lot of lower marked individuals

you should buy books from "the chinese lady with a red hat" (no racist) books will cost you $30~$35

[Stripez]

and canadian schools aren't that hard to get into unless you go into specified programs that take low enrollment, like 60 per semester or so

[winneradam]

lulz......there's like maybe 12-15 decent universities in Canada......that's why they take "the best" students out there. truth i'd like to think.

There are about 90 universities in Canada.

There are about 4000 universities in the States.

U of T is the home of INSULIN and the world's first particle accelerator!

Is McGill really an ivy-caliber school or are you just wishing it was?

http://www.arwu.org/ARWU2009.jsp

its not.

undergraduate university just means that they don't have master's or doctorate programs.

in other words, it's a sh*t university.

i have a hard time believing that a school without phd programs could attract good profs. I've never even heard of the school.

[Mac_xX]

Ulaval here. We rock in football.

Queens say f*ck you :P

I go to Waterloo, I paid around 13 000 for tuition, residence and books this year.

Will be substantially less next year due to living off campus.

[Mac_xX]

United States: 2,618 (4-year schools)

We have 32 million people, why would we need more than that many schools... even some of those 92 schools have really small enrollments.

It's about quality brah not quantity.

[Kokanee]

actually i've heard of both of them. they're both famous.

room and board will just become apartment rent and groceries, your living expenses will be more or less the same.

Residence is overpriced here man, waaaayyy overpriced. I'll end up spending substantially less, I've already calculated it all.

lmao are you f****ing retarded?

wait...sarcasm right?

[devincanada]

some of the posts in this thread contrast the claim that you actually have to be smart to get into uni in canada

a lot of retards got into uni from my high school, there are of course certain programs that are more selective (ie health science @ mac) but for the most part, you dont have to have any exceptional grades.
