UoT isn't even the best academic school for graduate business/eng on the list from Ontario.

Yeah thats true. Ivey, Schulich, and Queens Commerce are all better for business. But U of T is still best overall.

ECU has a new "general" Engineering program that I honestly doubt is very good, because it's so new. I'm not sure about their Business school, but their programs for teaching and their medical school are excellent. It's a decent school overall.

NC State is supposed to have a very good Engineering program (I'm going to be transferring them myself next year for AE/ME). I'm sure their business school is at least average.

Chapel Hill UNC is one of the best schools in the country, in a place with great weather... DO IT

If these are your choices, this looks like an absolute slam dunk for UNC.

I go to NC State and it is a great school with a great engineering program, and a nice and up and coming business school. UNC is our rival so naturally I would not recommend them but they do have a good business school, but not engineering b/c they are mostly liberal arts type. At NCSU the engineering school is in the process of transferring most of its classes to our new Cintennial campus which is aimed toward research.

So if you care more about the science then go to NCSU (or VA tech) and if you care about the business school I would recomend UNC. Also I live right next to ECU and have friends who have gone through ECU's business program and done well and they are known for being a big party school so that is another choice.

Basically choosing a school in North Carolina is not a bad choice. Great education, great weather, and great athletic conferences.

Thanks again for all the information. I was yesterday informed that getting into the Canada and North Carolina programs is going to be very difficult. Since I can apply for 4 different schools (and therefore 4 different programs(=states)) I will obviously still try. I haven't even looked at actual classes that I'd want to take but unless something unexpected happens in that regard my list will look like this:

1. UNC Chapel Hill
2. U of Toronto
3. University of Connecticut
4. UMASS Boston

I am extremely excited to get to live in "Storrs, CT, USA"!

On a sidenote, I might (as in I consider myself an 8 to 1 favorite) get to go to Singapore Management University for at least one semester starting in january which would obviously own hard. I'm getting all the oral sex out of my system while I can.

Edit: Another thing I just thought about: I am exempt from tuition at all of those schools. I wish I was commited enough to check which one is the most expensive...
