<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 ?</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>I have never heard of Warwick before so I would have to say McGill because before applying to college I heard of McGill thus it has more international name recognition.</p>
<p>Warwick is way better</p>
<p>How?..</p>
<p>Warwick is one of the top two schools in the UK for Economics.</p>
<p>But very few people in North America have ever heard of it. If someone wants to work in Europe, fine. Re: English universities, in the US and Canada, only Oxford, Cambridge and some components of the University of London are known at all.</p>
<p>Also, an economics degree from any university is not the same as a business degree in terms of career preparation.</p>
<p>heard of Cambridge Oxford and LSE…never heard of Warwick
name recognition seems to be half the battle</p>
<p>Same, never heard of Warwick, but we cannot pass judgment as most of us are not in a position to know, nor do we need to know. Quick example, someone applying to US med schools from Europe would most certainly have heard of and try to get into Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Johns Hopkins, etc… but might not have considered U of Washington, Baylor, U of Pittsburgh… some of the best schools in the nation and arguably have more recognizable names in certain medical fields… only known to those in medicine. Name recognition only goes so far outside of a particular field. I dare you to tell me what the best school is for ‘secondary education’. Its hard to know this unless you are in the field. That said, the kid’s gotta make his own decision. From what I know, an LSE bachelors is not nearly as useful as an LSE Master’s. Oxford and Cambridge are supposedly amazing at everything… and my opinion of McGill is well known throughout this forum.</p>
<p>Ok right I thank all of you for your answers!
Does going to McGill imply that I will work in Canada ? (since I heard being able to work in the US is much more difficult than one may think)</p>
<p>what is your citizenship/residency?</p>
<p>I am french.
Now, what do you think ?</p>
<p>going to mcgill does not imply you will work anywhere. if you are a french citizen and speak french, then with a visa you have the opportunity to work anywhere in canada… including montreal</p>
<p>also, with a US visa you can work in the US.</p>
<p>does this answer your question</p>
<p>Thanks.
Well, I meant how hard is it to get a US visa as a french ?</p>
<p>No idea, probably not very difficult</p>
