<p>I'm sure that a similar thread has been started before, but I wanted a more recent outlook on things between both of these schools and faculties, and a hasty reply would be very appreciated.</p>
<p>The main things I would like to discuss about these two schools would mainly be:
-Academics: Which university do you believe places the most emphasis on their undergraduate students? Has the more knowledgable professors in terms of background and experience? I know that it's really hard to judge these school's based on ranking because they're almost on par. Also, I'd prefer smaller class sizes, and in terms of that, Sauder had 3,153 BCom undergrads while McGill had 2,391.
-Campus and Living Environment: How do the facilities compare in both of these schools? How is the accommodation in both of these schools? How would you describe the environment and the quality of living in Montreal against Vancouver? What about the climate?
-Which school would have better career and internship opportunities? Co-op?
-How would you describe the social life in both of these cities?
-Logistics wise, how easy is it to get around, not only around the city but to the city from abroad?</p>
<p>I've obviously done a lot of research into all of these aspects myself, but I wanted to bring it to the board and see other opinions. I am planning to do masters straight after college unless a clear co-op option is available. I have also visited Vancouver twice and have family that graduated from Sauder and thus there is a more personal connection between me and Vancouver/UBC that is making it difficult for me to make a clear judgement, though I do truly love Vancouver as a city and loved UBC as well. The main issue I have with McGill is the lack of a segregated campus, and thus I'd like to know if that really effects anything as well. I am an international student living in Asia. </p>
<p>Let me know what you guys think, I'd really appreciate it!</p>
