<p>Is this wise?</p>
<p>Unless you are looking at a very special program that has no equivalent in Canada, it probably isn’t wise. McGill, U of Toronto, and U of BC are world class institutions. The other universities in Canada are perfectly respectable too. It would be pretty hard for a Canadian resident in Canada to spend US$ 200K at any of those places for a four year degree.</p>
<p>What does your family think about spending that kind of money? The people that can best answer your question are the folks signing the check.</p>
<p>bump, im in the same situation</p>
<p>In the same situation! But I’m from Brazil…</p>
<p>If your family can afford it, sure. None of the Canadian U’s offer the kind of undergrad experience you can get at many US schools.</p>
<p>If you have to borrow and it would be painful, that’s another story. But may can easily afford it and if that’s your case, go for it.</p>
<p>really depends on the uni, if it were an ivy i’d say yeah, but they offer financial aid</p>
<p>I’m in the same situation. Seeing as the Canadian dollar has slid, the costs have gone up even more. It’s especially tempting because with the profile I have built up (which would only be average ivy league applicants), I would likely be eligible for many lucrative scholarships at Canadian schools that would make my tuition virtually nothing. A lot to think about!</p>
<p>me too! if its an ivy i hope i get financial aid…</p>
<p>but im already into mcgill, and probably UBC and queens too so well see</p>
<p>For grad it may be acceptable, but DONT do it for undergrad.</p>
