huh?
tuition is only like 5500, and if it is because of a scholarship then it doesn't matter. Also, we are rich and our girls are hot and our football team is in the Mitchell Bowl tomorrow

McGill / montreal is pretty dope fwiw, I had a good time whenever I went to visit friends who went to school there. Montreal is a very chill town.

Metrics to rank schools overall when nobody takes everything are DUM.

Beyond that, basing rankings for undergraduate education on the prestige of the research producing activities of the university has always seemed very bizarre to me.

But nice work. McGill's a solid school.

so by that logic an Arts student with a CGPA of 4.0 cannot be ranked against an Arts student with a CGPA of 2.5 because they didn't take every single English class?

WTF Gild that is not my point at all.

My point is that saying "McGill is the best school" is meaningless, because nobody wants to go to the "best school" they want to go to the best arts school, med school, tech school, etc.

Yeah but Montreal > Toronto.

[/ QUOTE ]


mehhhh lemme play devil's advocate for a moment because Toronto is growing on me.

Imo...from living 5 years (school+working for 8 months there) in Montreal and living almost two years in Toronto...

Montreal is much better on the following things:
-quality of life (rent, cheap booze, etc)
-bar/club scene
-college life (McGill >>>>>> a school like Ryerson or UofT in terms of overall awesomeness)
-as a place to retire (Toronto is much more expensive to live where the action is, Montreal you can get a huge condo for cheap a block away from the Montreal Jazz fest)
-as a place to live during the summer (Montreal festivals, ie jazz fest and comedy fest>>>>>>>Toronto festivals like caribanna and all the other crap they put on...srsly I went to a blues fest in Toronto and it was like white 40-something fatty central and the music sucked).
-if you are French (ldo)
-hotter women (mostly because of McGill/Concordia/UofM chicks)
-better place to visit for the weekend
-better strip clubs

Toronto is a much better place to

-live your 20s, post school (if you've got money it is waaaay more ballin')
-the best restaurants are better and MUCH more expensive, although the overall average quality of a Montreal restaurant is higher
-better transit/infrastructure (Montreal is falling apart from the inside, at least more than Toronto is)
-basically the center of Canada if you are involved in anything financial...Montreal sucks for jobs in most big sectors related to Wall Street/Bay Street
-if you are an Anglophone (good luck getting a job in Quebec without speaking fluent French)

addendum:

This may sound like heresy but Toronto also has a MUCH better music scene, particularly jazz. Montreal is known for its jazz scene because a) they get a lot of big draws at the Montreal Jazz fest every year and b) they were THE scene in the 60s in Canada. Basically the industry has dried up and Toronto is a much more vibrant and lively jazz music scene (this is verified by most of my professional music friends).

There are jazz clubs in Toronto that have a different jazz band play at brunch, afternoon and night 7 days a week (21 different bands a week!). In Montreal you basically have two choices for major jazz bars: Upstairs and Biddles (now called something retarded), the former of which is really overpriced and small and the latter is really tacky and pretty traditional. You basically have to know sketchy jam session areas in the West Island or NDG to get any decent jazz in MTL anymore.
