<p>I have some questions about u of t. The website is actually very confusing to me, since I am used to american college websites. </p>

<p>Firstly what is the tuition?
I found this: Arts</a> & Science: St.George/UTM/UTSC & Woodsworth (Domestic Fees) but it isn't clear, like are those the prices for a year or a semester? And what would an economics major at the st. george campus be? And is that for international or not??</p>

<p>Also what would you chance an american with a 33 act, and a 3.6 GPA with all As this year (so probably more like a 3.7 by the time of application. </p>

<p>I am very interested in McGill and University of toronto, mcgill seems a little more accessible with the standards and everything, and because I have actually visited it, but I would really like to learn more about U of T.</p>

<p>Okay so I have been doing some digging and I found this </p>

<p>[Quick</a> Facts](<a href=“http://www.utoronto.com/about-uoft/quickfacts.htm]Quick”>http://www.utoronto.com/about-uoft/quickfacts.htm)</p>

<p>It says tuition is $24,709 to $31,961 for most programs, does that include room and board?? Because I heard that u of t is cheaper than mcgill for internationals, and I did a tuition calculation on the mcgill website and it said about 18500 for tuition. </p>

<p>Am I doing this right?</p>

<p>As far as McGill tuition is concerned, it is certainly major-dependent, too. Arts is at $18,500 w/o room and board, and I don’t think the listed price for Toronto includes room and board either. But this is the yearly cost.</p>

<p>Those UoT figures do not include room and board. Canadian universities are no longer the bargain they were for internationals a decade or two ago.</p>

<p>There are some less well known bargain priced universities in Canada ((uofWindsor comes to mind with about $5000 tuition fees for Americans) but the big name brand ones like UofT can charge what they do for internationals because they are well known and always have a lot of international applicants. McGill although on par with uoft for reputation is a bit of an exception because of Quebec’s student fee rules which are kinda crazy, so for some departments it can be very cheap (ie. arts) but even they are getting more freedom to raise the prices for internationals in some departments (eg. science) and this trend will likely continue over the years until McGill is just as expensive for internationals as anywhere else.</p>
