[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS got into McGill and a UK uni and ended getting cold feet and staying closer to home :-)

Is your son waiting on other news? Toronto is an excellent university, and is better-known worldwide than UMich, which might be a consideration if he wants to work for a multinational corporation or work abroad. Canadian universities don't hand-hold as much as US ones, so that's also something to consider. You also need to consider major compatibility. Is one of them stronger for his major?

Toronto is not better known than Michigan worldwide.  I think you’re conflating Michigan with UVA. [/quote]

I’m from Michigan, went to U if Toronto, & ended up in the UK for grad school. Some people in the UK seemed a bit confused by University of Michigan & Michigan State University both being state schools.

They would also sometimes ask, “Which one (UofM or MSU) is the good one?” Everybody there seemed to know of & respect U of Toronto.

There are at least 7 universities in the state of Michigan with the word “Michigan” in their name. I wasn’t surprised when  somebody in a foreign country didn’t know exactly which one of them was the “good” one. [/quote]
