<p>Help me decide.
University of Toronto: good reputation, good city collegiate system. Non party school+ non Greek life
It is my preferred school.
UIUC good engineerig which is the field I'm going to. Good reputation too. Party school. Too much Greek life which I hate. City is small but people seems fine there
UDEL. NOT GOOD REPUTATION. close to home. I can even take septa home. USED to live there so I'm familiar. Same engineering. Pricing boils down to about the same</p>

<p>Many of us don’t have a point of reference to compare the University of Toronta to any US based schools. :(</p>

<p>Clearly UIUC has a higher ranked engineering program than the University of Delaware. If the price is the same, the only reason to choose Delaware would be “FIT”, something only you can determine. Is UDEL in-state? If so, I’m surprised that the price is similar.</p>

<p>Good Luck! </p>

<p>No i live outside of UD. But its is 2 hours septa ride away so its close. </p>

<p>If cost is similar, I’d choose between UT and UIUC. I’d probably pick UIUC because it’s superb for engineering but also because UToronto’s engineering curve is deadly. Unless you’re a 4.0/ All 5’s on APs, it won’t be much fun. :s</p>

<p>yes. But i heard curve is only bad for those who are either lazy or barely got in. Also, my grades are pretty good. I got a around 3.9 since 10th grade. Also might UIUC also be curved too?</p>

<p>UToronto “grade deflation” reputation is due to the fact that their admissions standards are low for a top rated university. high flunk out rate. If you are a good student, you will get a good GPA at U of T. There is partying at U of T but it is largely a commuter school. </p>

<p>^it’s a bit more than that. Canadian grades are lower and there’s “weed-out grading” going on. In some classes you may be happy getting a C+.
This happens in the US too, especially in large engineering and premed classes, but I don’t think the shock would be as bad.
on the other hand, I like the “colleges” at U of T.</p>
