<p>hey guys im from the states and i recently got admitted into the university of toronto for life sciences - environment and energy. toronto is a great city and i love it. also i know uoft is top 30 in the world. i have heard that the student to prof relationship in uoft isnt the best, but that doesnt bother me as much. i did hear the workload is killer but i know itll be worth it to graduate from a big name college.</p>
<p>i also got into waterloo's environment and business program. uw isnt ranked as high as uoft but i love the co-op program and being that it has a whole faculty dedicated to environment, that must mean theyre good right? yet ive heard life at waterloo is extremly boring and i have seen the town and i know there is practically nothing to do there.</p>
<p>my i am a little concerned about having a life in campus and having things to do aside from school work, but i feel that going to a good program is more important to me than being entertained all the time. basically im asking which is better; uoft's life science - environment and energy, or uw's environment and business program.</p>
<p>please give me help choosing my college! also personal opinions and maybe even hearing experiences from friends will help also! thank you so much</p>
<p>The student to professor relationship is a important thing. Even though you’ll have a syllabus, you’ll still need to have a good relationship with the teacher. </p>
<p>It’s not worth it to graduate from a big-named college-it’s worth it because you graduated from college A and got a great job afterwards.</p>
<p>The environment is important also. If Waterloo’s area suck, that should concern you, since you MAY move there after you finish college. </p>
<p>Ultimately, we can’t make the decision for you. Your the one going to college, and your going to have to be the one who chooses the college. I hope the pointers I gave you helped a bit.</p>
<p>mynameisalex, do me a favour go to UofT, ITS THE BEST.</p>

<p>But my opinion is that you should choose the school that best fits you and your program, not the one with the biggest name. My son turned down a couple excellent schools with excellent names for an equally excellent school that most people have never heard of. The one he chose was a better fit for him, and, I believe, a better fit for his career plans. I think he made the right choice.</p>
<p>Rankings only show how well the school fits into the spreadsheet formulas, not how well it meets your needs.</p>
