[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point about needing to be self-directed is huge. I went to a university in Canada that had over 40,000 students. Yes, tuition was cheap compared to here, but there were very basic support systems in place. I can’t even remember there being RAs in the massive dorms. There were desk workers checking IDs in the lobby, but that was it. When you needed something, you went to an office that looked like a DMV to speak to someone. You could see this as good in that it forces people to take care of their own business and not having all the extras keeps costs down, but if your kid wants [b]the college experience that is the norm in the US[/b], you won’t get it at the big Canadian uni’s.[/quote] No offense, but I think the point for most folks seeking an education in Canada is that they DON'T want that. Quite the opposite.[/quote]
