<p>I have been accepted into the business schools of both of these excellent schools.
I am from S.F. I can see McGill will give me a chance to experience a new culture and cultivate new perspectives. It is also probably much better known internationally as an university, especially in medicine. But I don't know how well its business school is regarded. I am also worried about job placement back in US.
USC is a good university. But I think it is not as well regarded as McGill internationally. It is also in California and hence won't give me the experience McGill offers.
I would like your opinions and give me some reasons to decie on either school.</p>
<p>I visited both, and while both are good schools, I must say I absolutely hated LA and loved Montreal.</p>
<p>I agree that you can't beat Montreal as a city. It has the culture, European air and cleanliness. But how do the schools compare as to prestige in the real business world. How does each set one up for success in the business world?</p>
<p>Choose McGill.</p>
<p>I can tell you from living here in LA, that you'll absolutely hate it here. Especially if you're coming from the Bay Area, you'll find the lack of culture and etiquette here appalling. Montreal is much nicer, IMO.</p>
<p>As to how each school is viewed in the world. I would say that they're about viewed the same, with USC being viewed a tad bit better just by it being located in the US, and having access to more ressources than McGill.</p>
