<p>Hello: </p>

<p>I've applied to University of Arizona, McGill, and Brown. While I can hope that I am admitted to Brown, the chances nevertheless are very slim I'll be accepted. I really need to make up my mind regarding the other two schools, both of which I have been already accepted to.</p>

<p>UA is giving me a $7,000/yr scholarship and being an Arizona resident, should pay for pretty much everything except books and miscellaneous expenses. I'd be 3 hours away from my home in North Phoenix and if I ever felt it necessary I could easily make the trip up the interstate. If I attend UA, I will be doing to honors program. Any advice on this (is it worth it?)</p>

<p>McGill has not given me any money, but my scholarship funds are in Canadian dollars, so this is the perfect time to cash in. Tuition is affordable, being a Canadian citizen. I was born in Montreal and lived there a good portion of my childhood. I know French, enjoy big-city life, public transit, the snow, and all the cultural attractions the city has to offer. However, I plan on attending Medical or Law School in the States, and I am not sure if a Canadian education will affect this in any manner. </p>

<p>McGill offers me a chance to really branch out and truly have a college experience, where Arizona offers me the comforts of friends and family as well as the climate that I have adjusted to for the decade I've lived there.</p>

<p>Which institution should I commit to? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am one confused kid right now.</p>

<p>If you in fact can go to med or law school in the US, go to McGill. I'm sorry, but I don't know whether or not you can.</p>

<p>i'd say McGill just for the college experience. Actually, i'd say Brown, but from what you've told us that doesn't look to great</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>Depends on how competitive and "intellectual" you are. Bot AZ and McGill have sharp professors, but you'd be surrounded by students with completely different agendas at each school (AZ--get a tan, do some studying, go to a basketball game; McGill--study, shoot the breeze with really smart people at a coffee shop in French and English, study, ponder the meaning of life). The weather couldn't be much more different at each one.</p>
