<p>This thread has probably been posted many times before, but I don't know where to find them. </p>

<p>I've been accepted to both UofT and McGill for Arts & Science. I'll probably be double majoring in Economics and some sort of biology at both schools, so I want to know; which school is better? I'm talking everything from academics, extracurriculars, and job/internship opportunities. </p>

<p>I've walked around both schools and I find that McGill has a lot of hills that I have to climb, and most of the buildings look really old from the outside. I didn't get a chance to peek inside though. Is the layout of McGill really hard to navigate for amateur bikers? (I'm talking bicycles).</p>

<p>McGill’s historic buildings and the mountainside campus are part of the school’s character. If you want flat modernity, York would be a good choice.</p>

<p>Montreal is an incredibly good biking city.</p>

<p>U Toronto is a bigger deflator than McGill is… then again, if you want to go to grad school, I hope the grad schools you’ll then be applying to are aware of the deflation (then again, I’m not sold on whether McGill really is that big of a deflator for biology nowadays)</p>

<p>What do you mean by deflation? Like, people getting B’s and C’s in UofT will get A’s elsewhere? And McGill might do the same thing, except on a smaller scale?</p>
