Colorado School of Mines, Golden
Emory University - Goizueta School of Business (Commerce,economics majors only)

The university is pretty good and the party life is pretty good as well as there are frat parties and the dorm parties are always meat markets.

However, the thing that suck is the regular school year is from Sep - Mar. so between that time, the weather sucks ass. It rains a lot and the winters are mildly cold. The weather from May to September is [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] though.

the commerce faculty at UBC is especially fun

After I found out Joe Hachem didn't tip the dealers anything extra after winning (and getting to keep all $7 million, no taxes), there's only one place I'd tell an Aussie to go

...to make a big ass deposit at the bank?

Don't go to McMaster. Hamilton is a hole.

At first, I thought it said McGill, in Montreal, and was going to suggest that. Actually, I'll go out on a limb, and say McGill is your best bet. Montreal rules.

Also, Edmonton is cold. Very, very cold. Snow in August cold.

Lol. This is my school. It's in the middle of nowhere. I don't see why anyone would possibly want to study abroad here. I studied abroad in Hong Kong, had the time of my life, and now I'm bored out of my mind back at UMass. You probably want something like Miami or USC.
