<p>does any one know if this is a good school? i am thinking about going there, i live in minnesota and because of the deal that minnesota and manitoba have i would pay in state tuition and it would be very cheap. how would it compare to goin to the U of MN, i would attend there but i really want to go away for college. If i get accept to the Raikes computer science program at UNL i would probably go there. but over all would it be worth it as in is the school decent? i would most likely go for engineering or something science. any opionions appreciated thanks.</p>

<p>I would recommend U of Minnesota - Twin Cities over the U of Manitoba for every academic field that I can think of. Manitoba is not a bad school - like virtually every Canadian university, its standards are respectable- but in-state tuition at Minnesota will be a much better educational value, imo. Minnesota is strong in several engineering fields, and the university is simply better overall. U of Manitoba is fine for someone who wants to work in Manitoba (and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere in Canada), but you might have difficulties finding employment in the U.S. with a U of Manitoba degree. Only a few Canadian schools (Toronto, McGill and UBC primarily, and Waterloo in math and some sciences) are well known internationally, and U of Manitoba is not one of these schools.</p>

<p>Still, I’m not sure why you would want to go there when you could attend UMN or UWisconsin for comparable prices. What are your stats?</p>

<p>gpa 3.6 unwieghted

CIS 2 years german classes through the u of minnesota tc with A’s</p>
<p>EC:

<p>oh suppose i should add, 4 years varsity hockey, 4 years starting club lacrosse (no varsity at high school yet)</p>
