[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it really that much cheaper than the US? $40 McGill for Internationals and $45-50K at U Toronto?[/quote]

it appears that canadian prices vary wildly (like, by a factor of 3) by major. perhaps someone can explain.[/quote]

Market forces I'm guessing. Think about how much it costs to educate a French literature major (simple classroom, chalk, teacher) compared to a mechanical engineering student (classroom, cutting edge labs, expensive equipment, computer systems, materials, teacher) and ask why US universities charge them the same amount. The French lit student is subsidizing the engineering student. And factor in demand. More people want to do engineering and comp sci than some arts subjects. Comp sci professors could earn $$$$ in the private sector, while that is less of a factor for many arts professors. [/quote]

I'm not sure why I've never thought about the fact that some majors cost way more than others (but are priced the same in the US). Thanks for sharing. [/quote]
