<p>Do not go to a Canadian school if you intend on law or medical school in the states. Getting a 3.7+ GPA in a liberal arts program at U of T or McGill is almost impossible. Both schools have very strictly enforced bell curve grading policies. Also, classes are large and very impersonal. You can end up with a "B+" for purely arbitrary reasons, without any ability to really contest it.</p>
<p>However, simply passing through a Canadian school requires almost no effort. You can end up with a 3.0 GPA without every attending class. Consequently, students often feel little personal culpability for their achievement.</p>

<p>Actually, I was referring to Greece--hard to keep track of all the riots on the Continent, I suppose... ;)</p>
<p>Note that the US, for all its problems and problems to come, does not have problems maintaining the primacy of rule of law right now.</p>
<p>I agree pragmatism is great, but while the UK might have some, the Continent as a whole is running on ideological fumes, with socialism as its sacred (and economically/demographically unsustainable) cow.</p>
<p>Do you know whether people getting their BA in UK will have the same chance (better or worse) finding a comparable job to someone graduating from an Ivy? or chances of getting into a top MS program?</p>

<p>How about the more technically oriented schools, like Memorial University Newfoundland, which has a good sized and reputable Engineering, Naval Architecture, and ocean engineering schools? Has anyone gone there?</p>
