<p>Which school has a generally superior reputation in the United States, especially in the business sector?
I have known of very successful businesspeople who graduated from McGill, and I had always assumed that it was the better name.</p>
<p>They're about equal. Both have their advantages over the other. No significant overall advantage either way. Visit each, and one will surely strike you as the better place for you.</p>
<p>For some reason, i have always heard of UT as more popular, but that's just me.</p>
<p>I hear more about McGill, but I think they're both about equal.</p>
<p>What American university is about equal to McGill and Toronto?</p>
<p>^ NYU is a common comparison...maybe UCLA as well?</p>
<p>maybe nyu and bu...because of their city location...</p>
<p>Boston University also seems like it's similar.</p>
<p>Do you think the fact that it's a Canadian education has any impact on how employers view you? I am planning on applying to McGill, but my mother insists that graduating a Canadian university may make it more difficult to get an American job than if I were to graduate an American university with the same major.</p>
<p>I think she's right. I previously considered going to a university in Canada until several people warned me that I should only do it if I planned on living there long term.</p>
<p>The primary reason that most American students are interested in such institutions, I believe, is the cost factor. One year's foreign tuition at McGill in total, including room and board, is approximately 15,000, while one year at my state's flagship public school (UIUC) is approximately 20,000, even for in-state residents. Even a mediocre school, such as our local Elmhurst College, will run for approximately 30,000 a year. There's obviously a gigantic difference in the way the two nations view higher education, and I'm not even a proponent of most Canadian economic methodology.
Not to say that these schools don't offer a superb education, but with schooling costs so ridiculously out of hand in the United States it certainly provides an extra option for families that aren't planning on going bankrupt on financing their children's education.</p>
<p>I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the cost of attending McGill this year is upwards of $30,000. That's still about $15,000 less than most private Universities in America, but it's still nto what it used to be</p>
<p>The only reason why U of T is more well known among your average citizen is because it is the largest university in canada. It accepts almost every student that applies, the A student sits beside the C student in class. McGill is the most respected among scholars, it is the worlds 12th best university. Read the Times QS university rankings. Toronto was 48th...yeah easy question...no debate.</p>
<p>I would say Toronto and McGill are equal..McGill is more selective, but Toronto is just as good.</p>
