[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]

A BA at McGill for an international student costs $19K Canadian, which is $14.5K US. Throw in another $900 US per month for room and board, and you're still under $25K.[/quote]

Absolutely.  Canada is a steal right now.  We just attended accepted students night for McGill last night; DC was accepted for this fall.  For the current year (17-18; new costs not out yet but their guess is 2.7% increase), a BA with room and board and all the health care and immigration fees (worst case for all we think) is still going to cost us only about $27.6K -- cheaper than UVa instate.  Exchange rate definitely works in our favor.  Plus they gave merit money.  And we believe that McGill is certainly prestigious enough for what DC wants to do.

BTW, rankings for McGill and UofT vary depending on which one you look at; they struck us as equally rigorous overall (DC looked at, applied, and was accepted at both).  UofT is in Toronto (which DC liked) and has twice as many students (which DC didn't).  But both are excellent universities and compare very well for both cost and diversity to US schools.[/quote]
