<p>I am wondering if there are any good private universities in Canada that give generous financial aid for international students from the us. I am very interested in science but I want a broad education as well. The only school I have really heard about is quest. Are private schools in Canada at all similar to the states? Any info is appreciated. I am also a senior and i llive pretty close to BC so I could definitely visit.</p>
<p>It appears to me a lot of the private universities are religious which I don’t want. It is fine if they are affiliated but I wouldn’t want a strong presence on campus…</p>
<p>All of the reputable universities in Canada are public. The private ones are almost all religious affiliated and many are not accredited.</p>
<p>That’s too bad. Is it a general consensus US LACs are better? </p>
<p>Basically to go to a public would cost way too much. My sister got in to UBC last year and it wasn’t affordable. However, for my cousin who is a dual citizen, it was so much cheaper than college here.</p>

<p>Better than what? If you mean better than Canadian universities, then, no, that definitely is not a general consensus.</p>
<p>The thread is about private colleges. Therefor I am asking if us private lacs are better than Canadian private schools.</p>
<p>There barely are any Canadian private schools - as far as I know, Quest, which you already mentioned, is the only private school of its kind (accredited, LAC-style, not affiliated)</p>
