[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Interestingly enough in a study done by American Cadwell about international name recognition…Toronto is #5 and Michigan is #6.

So, let’s call it a tie.[/quote]

OP again, lots of great insights in this thread! My main concern is the [b]employability[/b] with a Canadian degree from Toronto compared to Michigan. I would assume it is easier to get a job in the United States with a US college degree. But how significant is that difference? Also housing does not seem to be guaranteed all 4 years at either school, so that is another concern.[/quote]

In every discussion of foreign universities somebody wonders if the kid will be hirable in the US with a degree from a top foreign university. I don’t know where this comes from. It’s bizarre.
