Carleton or Ottawa U?

<p>I'm looking to study history, and I really want to move to Ottawa. I'm stuck between Carleton and Ottawa U. While I like that Ottawa U is smack downtown, I like Carleton's atmosphere better.</p>

<p>Help!</p>

<p>Also: I've recently been looking into McGill, but I'm not sure how hard to get accepted or if I want to be in such a huge city... any advice would be great!</p>
