So i am admitted to U of T for its Mathematical and Physical Sciences and UIUC for its Chemistry Major. I am really struggling between choosing a school between the two. I want to focus on Chemistry in the future. I am a current senior in Shanghai, while I hold Canadian citizenship. So I do enjoy the domestic school fee at U of T.
I think an important factor that I considered is that U of T is a lot cheaper compared to UIUC. But I am also thinking that if UIUC might offer a stronger academic experience, as I do know that their graduate program for Chemistry is VERY strong.
Where do you think that there will be the most job opportunities after graduating with a chemistry degree at the university? That is something I really consider!
I think the answer to that question is pretty clear. UToronto is ranked higher for Chemistry, and job opportunities will be better as you have Canadian citizenship. The fact that UToronto is cheaper is a huge bonus. Congratulations on your acceptance.
Picking a school based on nightlife is overrated. You probably won’t have time to go out often as a Chemistry major. UIUC chemistry is one of the top Chem programs in the United States. Champaign is a underrated college town with decent restaurants, bars and a large international community, plus great cost of living with train access to Chicago (about $15 one way)
