I’m a U of Toronto grad. Perhaps Penn would be the most similar.

But there really isn’t a top-notch American university that is safe AND right in the heart of a major city (Westwood isn’t the heart of LA).

With subway stops all around it, you can get from the campus to just about anywhere you’d want to go in minutes.

Of course, the weather is very different.

I think the 80,000 includes the 2 significant suburban campuses. Whatever, it’s very efficiently run, & doesn’t seem too large at all. The wind & cold are the only things to worry about there.

However, it has many commuter students (which is par for the course for all Canadian colleges)...which is why ASU is a good proxy.

OP isn't really clear what they are after when they ask about a US version of U of Toronto.

I've been to Univ of Toronto and there is a real central campus with traditional old buildings. very pretty. I'm sure there's sprawl from there, but there's a heart.

Toronto is not my favorite city, but whatever.

UT is very good in STEM but for STEM in Canada Waterloo is the only real answer.

Waterloo is more like UCLA or UMich - less theoretical.

Agreed; and they produce the best engineers of any school in North America.

The father of AI is a Toronto professor and Toronto produced the foundational LLM research…and the former head of research at Open Ai (who left to found his own company) who created their LLM is a Toronto grad.

It’s stolen Waterloo’s thunder lately.
