McGill V.S. Boson College (CSOM)

<p>I am currently trying to decide between Boston College and Mcgill University. I was accepted into the Carroll School of management at Boston College and the Faculty of the Arts at Mcgill. My plan is to study Finance and Computer Sciences at whichever school I go to, as my plan is to do something in business with computers. My pros for Mcgill is that it is in Montreal (one of my top cities), I like that its not so much of a ra ra kind of school and I also like the idea of living off campus. Also, Mcgill is a lot cheaper than B.C. (I believe it would cost me about $12,000 per year versus more than $50,000 per year). Not only that, but I have been put up for consideration for the honors program at Mcgill. My only reservations about Mcgill are that I don't speak a word of French and I didn't get into the faculty of management (will this affect my post-career prospects, as I know that I can still major in finance and computers in the faculty of the arts). I know that with the Carroll School of Management, they definitely emphasized the career prospects post graduation. However, I became slightly reserved when I read some reviews online saying that they inflate their post-graduation prospects. My pros for Boston College, are that it is in a great city and I got into the Carroll School of Management which is good I guess for post-graduation careers/internships. So basically, my question is in terms or post-graduation job prospects, which would be a better school. Also, which one would be more challenging academically. I've heard that Mcgill academics are more challenging than Boston College. Thanks for all your input. </p>
