<p>Here's my take: I think the best Canadian schools have high standards and tough grading. They often have large class sizes and the professors may be less likely to have PhD's, esp from the big name US universities. Meaning what you get in a private US college is a smaller student-faculty ratio, more likely to have classes under 25, and the US schools' faculty will be PhDs from big name US universities. The top Canadian schools are a bargain in comparison as US schools are raising tuition 7% a year.</p>
