<p>Has anyone heard of these schools?</p>
<p>1) Waterloo
2) Toronto
3) McGill</p>
<p>They're top engineering schools in Canada but I'm wondering what thier reputations are in America.</p>
<p>I've heard of them, but I don't know anything about them. I just recognize the names.</p>
<p>I have heard of McGill, I think it is nicknamed "The Harvard of Canada"?</p>
<p>I did not however know that they were the top engineering schools in Canada.</p>
<p>yea, I heard McGill was nicknamed like that too. I have cousin who went to McGill as a pre-law major and I knew several good students in high school who were willing to move to Canada to study at McGill.</p>
<p>Yes I have heard of McGill as well.</p>
<p>Yes, those 3 schools are pretty much the best for engineering in Canada. Waterloo excels at computers/electronics, seeing as how that's the only Canadian university that Bill Gates bothers going to to give talks.</p>
<p>One of the best-known concrete profs in the nation went to Toronto. He's a cool guy, and really knows his stuff.</p>
<p>I know that Waterloo and McGill are both good, too, but I honestly am not sure which American schools they're roughly comparable to.</p>
<p>I don't know much about their engineering schools, but they do have good reputations along with very low tuition.</p>
<p>Toronto has a very good engineering school. 3 of my GSI's and one of my professors went there, and they all boast about it =P.</p>
<p>A McGill student punched Harry Houdini so hard his appendix ruptured which caused his death. That's all I know about it. Isn't University of British Columbia or Laval University (French speaking) supposed to be good too?</p>
<p>anyone have any idea of what american schools the above would be equal to?</p>
<p>case western maybe?</p>
<p>Are you trying to get a job in the US? I think they are recognizable names but mainly among the college aged crowd. McGill has sort of become a cheaper but quality alternative to college in the US. I'd say they are maybe akin to good state schools like Maryland, and Michigan but its subjective.</p>
<p>I have heard of McGill and Toronto and I know for a fact that they have an excellent engineering program.</p>
