[quote=Anonymous]I am from Toronto and have many friends who went to u of t. It is an excellent school and one of the hardest to get into in Canada. It is a huge institution, so there won't be a lot of hand holding or personalized attention. You would want to be on st George campus- the Scarborough and Mississauga campuses have more of a commuter orientation and I think would be lonely for an out of towner. Most of my friends were in UC, Vic, St Mike's- those seem to be the most social colleges. After 1st year, few ppl live on campus (this is true of all Canadian universities). Toronto is an awesome city; safe, diverse, and fun. Expensive rents though.

I have some friends and family members who went to McGill as well. All had good experiences there too.  It is smaller and maybe a little friendlier. It is similar to u of t in prestige- I think u of t is more competitive for some programs and is better thought of in Toronto at least, but in the US more people seem to know about McGill. Montreal is a great city too- its smaller than Toronto, but more charming, with a European vibe. And cheaper. I think it would feel more exotic/different, which could be good or bad depending on your kid. Montreal is freezing in the winter- significantly colder than Toronto, which is cold too.

No one I know went to universite de Montreal- it's a francophone school and not really on the radar for anglophones (at least in ontario). I don't know much about its prestige or how it would rank compared to others. Your kid would need to be really comfortable in French to do well there.[/quote]
