<p>I hope this is the right place!</p>
<p>I have to make a decision very soon.</p>
<p>Here are my choices :</p>
<ul>
<li>McGill University (Bachelor of Commerce)</li>
<li>Warwick University (Bsc Economics)</li>
</ul>
<p>Which one is more prestigious ? better employment prospects ?
Which one is the most internationally known ?
Please note I speak French and would like to work in the US.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>I have heard of McGill several times, and I KNOW it’s one of the best universities in Canada.
McGill has one of the best medical and engineering programs in Canada - and perhaps in the world - also aviation law (?)</p>
<p>I hope that helps</p>
<p>As you’ve said you want to work in the US, id say McGill. Warwick certainly is prestigious and internationally known (especially for maths/econ) but consider most Americans dont know anything about foreign schools. If however you’d rather work in Europe/Asia id say they were pretty even.</p>
<p>The two are completely different in terms of location and campus. Warwick is an ugly 60s-style campus in the middle of nowhere and McGill is in a big cosmopolitan city. Which would you prefer?</p>
<p>Explained this way, McGill seems better. But it seems like this is a subjective point of view.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There you have it, cesaire. Looks like you’re going to McGill for your commerce degree.</p>
<p>I do know this - what about Commerce ?</p>
<p>I think McGill is also good for business…
Maybe you can check the ranks online?</p>
<p>Anyway, McGill is near a cosmopolitan city. It has beautiful campus, one of the best besides UBC :)</p>
<p>I haven’t heard of Warwick and I don’t think it’s well known at all in the US. Mcgill on the other hand is quite prestigious in Canada and the US</p>
<p>^I agree, Powa2.</p>
<p>Warwick is higher than Mcgill in business school rankings, but if your intention is in the US, Mcgill is your best bet. I don’t think that US people know much about UK universities besides Cambridge and Oxford,.</p>
<p>A BCom and a Bsc Economics follow very different curricula and offer different employment/grad school prospects. Keep that in mind when choosing your program.</p>
<p>Really ? I thought a Bsc Econ and Bcom would offer the same employment prospects
Bsc Econ is probably better for the UK</p>
<p>haha. I hadn’t heard of McGill before this! Warwick is pretty good but since you want to work in the US and all that I suggest you go to McGill since apparently it seems to be pretty good!</p>
<p>So - conclusion ?</p>
<p>We already gave you our opinions on the matter.</p>
<p>It’s up to you to reach a conclusion with what we’ve told you. It’s your future, your choice after all.</p>
<p>Most posters leaned towards Mcgill, though. What do you think?</p>
<p>I’d go for Warwick actually. You’ll also save one year I think!</p>
<p>Warwick is excellent for economics and is very highly regarded in the UK, but I think if you intend to work in the US then McGill may be the better choice. Personally I much prefer the cosmopolitan feel of McGill, but that’s just my opinion.</p>
<p>yes, Warwick is really great for a job in London, which is something I think I would like to do (live in London)
However, I feel the same for the US but I have heard quite different things about McGill’s rep in the US - from excellent to “do not go there, its management faculty sucks”</p>
