[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people seem to think college is just some prestige badge, which explains why some parents will cheat lie and commit fraud to get their kid into a "more prestigious" school.

Here is a novel thought: how about thinking of college as a place for your child to become more educated? By that measure, I doubt a Canadian degree is "worthless."

Your values are really twisted.[/quote]

Canadians care far far less about prestige than Americans do. Canadian schools have fun rivalries but there isn't the same elitism or status attached as there is in the US. Canadian schools are more diverse and inclusive in their philosophical approach to education.

Degrees from Canadian Universities are accepted around the world. Our top schools typically rank in international rankings around the same as UCLA, Northwestern, Duke, UC Berkley, John Hopkins etc. We don't have an equivalent to Harvard / MIT / Standford / or Oxford / Cambridge in the UK - those are pretty equivalent to top US schools[/quote]

Considering you can't even spell Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford, I don't think your opinion on how elite Canadian schools are is very well-informed.
