Well, well, well.

UofT finally sent me an acceptance... (yay!)
But, no money. As a matter of fact:
UofT: Nothing!
Waterloo: Nothing!
Western: $1000!

Boo. And since I'm DEFINITELY not going to Western... *sigh*

Okay, everyone, time for a show of hands. I don't care if you're not in Toronto or Ontario or even in CANADA, I want a vote: Waterloo or University of Toronto?

Both are for Psych, at Waterloo as an Arts and at UofT as a Life Science. And, both universities have Japanese language courses and anime clubs.

Waterloo Pros:
-Serena, Mei, Alan, Sean, Danny, etc. are in the area (lots of friends)
-Bubble Tea!
-Decent size of rooms

Cons:
-huge freaking campus
-don't like the room setup much

UofT Pros:
-right near Kat (or relatively so)
-can promote Yuricon (hurrah!)
-much better nightlife
-close to home

Cons:
-the only person I know there is Christy
-just as big or bigger than Waterloo, and just as confusing

As for expenses... no idea.

So! Everyone, answer! Or else!

Mmm... Cherry is my favourite. I also have banana and oran...
Oh wait. Never mind. Whew! Is it hot in here or am I just so *hot*?

Depends, how much money can you spend and can you afford to be however far away from home all the time?

I vote Toronto. I've actually heard it has a good Psych programme - Waterloo borrows Laurier's and shortens it by half a year.

... Fucking Math faculty. I want my letter from Waterloo, dammit!

Toronto is WAY bigger than Waterloo.

Waterloo you have friends at, and at Toronto you will most DEFINITELY be a number. (You may be at Waterloo too, but... shorter numbers ;))

The best advice I got from Mr Lowens -- it doesn't matter where you go in Ontario really, unless you're applying for graduate studies in which case you want good reference letters so should find profs who can give you an edge (they went to that graduate school, are well known, etc.)

Ack, futago, I dunno. ^^; I don't think you should choose a Uni based on who you're going to be close to, but on the merits of the school itself. And since I know *nothing* about Canadian universities . . . ^^;

Well... i really don't know anything about Canadian colleges (Not anything about California ones either....) But i chose to transfer to CSU Hayward from my jr. college because it not only had a history degree i was looking for, but it was also not too expensive and close to home so I could still live here. The other choice was SF State which is really a beautiful campus....but it's in Daly City...an hour away by train, probably more by car. So if you want to be close, and it'll still let you pick what you want to do, choose Toronto. Otherwise you can go for the other.

firstly, CONGRATS!!

.....but.....1vote for waterloo!

friends=less lonely! and less nitelife=no failure...no failure=no parental anger and revoking of funds for education!!
actually, loo isn't that big--smaller than brampton, and the school itself is smaller than western and u of t! but you wouldn't want a laurier sized high school either ^_~
loo is also only 45mins-1hr from brampton--same time as from toronto! so it's really not that far away, just quieter!

you wouldn't ditch your best friend, would you? O_O
