<p>Id like to apply to UBC, toronto, and mc master. anyone with info about them? i dont rlly know much about admission for intl. students there.</p>
<p>Where are you from, and what are you planning to major in.</p>
<p>im from the US, studying a preperatory degree year in england next year, hoping to study economics, or philosophy</p>
<p>Of the three universities you mentioned, U of T has the best reputation, or at least the most prestige. It's also in the city, which is great if you're an urbanite. On the other hand, it's extremely large (40 000 undergrads), so if it's a small place you're looking for, you might want to reconsider.</p>
<p>Have you thought of McGill at all? Like U of T it has a very good reputation. It's in Montreal, Quebec (a very cool city to be in, from what I've heard) so unless you're a francophobe I think it would be worth looking into. Being a native english-speaker doesn't matter, you don't really have to know french.</p>
<p>I've heard negative things from classmates of mine about the McMaster campus. That's really all I know.</p>
<p>University of Toronto has the most students, most money and most high-profile professors. However, its size means that you may very well get stuck with huge lecture classes. It also has no school spirit to speak of, since Toronto the city is more interesting than the University, and everyone commutes. However, if you brave through the first two years, you will most likely enjoy it.</p>
<p>UBC is a young version of U of T in a city with much better weather. I am considering it myself just for the Vancouver factor. It also suffers from the size factor and lack of school spirit.</p>
<p>Both of the above universities have good reputations (at least within Canada). You will get a good education at both for economics or philosophy. It really just depends on what City you prefer.</p>
<p>McMaster is for Science/Engineering and stuff. Don't go there for Economics/Philosophy.</p>
<p>McGill is cool. I think not knowing French will make you feel like an outsider though.</p>
