<li><p>I realized that many Canadians rank U of T higher than McGill. While this might be true, I also realized that Americans know McGill more than U of T.
How come?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it mainly because Montreal has some political issues with Canadian government?</p></li>
<li><p>Do you think Quebec government would continuously be underfunded? Perhaps as long as it has an issue with the Canadian government?</p></li>
<li><p>I’m bit concerned that McGill might not regain its old reputation due to its financial problems. Do you personally think that McGill will soon recover?</p></li>
<li><p>Do you personally feel that University of Toronto will continuously thrieve and eventually become the best school in Canada? </p></li>
</ol>

<p>While I think that I need to further research on the political issues, I would like to get your opinions on any of the questions above. Thank you!!!</p>

<p>I don't think it matters...</p>

<p>Location? maybe? I dunno...</p>

<p>Toronto has a better location than McGill in opinion, especially for Americans since they speak English as a first language in Toronto.</p>

<p>"Do you think Quebec government would continuously be underfunded?"</p>

<p>LMAO. Quebec is not underfunded.</p>

<p>Are you liberal by the way? (Just asking. ;))</p>

<p>"Do you personally feel that University of Toronto will continuously thrieve and eventually become the best school in Canada? "</p>

<p>It's already the best school in Canada according to most, if not all rankings.</p>

<p>LOL. Where did you get the idea that McGill is anywhere near UofT in terms of quality and prestige (in Canada, anyways)? In Canada: UofT>Waterloo>Queens>UBC>McGill.</p>

<p>Canadians should prefer Emory, but they are Canadian, so I dont think they are willing to venture that far south in the USA and brave the warm weather.</p>

<p>I think the OP is alluding to the fact that in the U.S., more people seem to talk about McGill than the University of Toronto. In New England, where I live, this is definitely true.</p>

<p>Mr. Amazing, you are such a stereotypical American.</p>

<p>U of T (Toronto) and McGill (Montreal) are both located in pretty pleasant climates. </p>

<p>Parts of Canada are warmer than some parts of the United States.</p>

<p>Get your facts straight before you post. :)</p>

<p>Canada doesnt have warm weather Johnathan, it has ice and hockey players, they claim otherwise to make people believe it is a real country. I must open your eyes to this blatent conspiracy.</p>

<p>I was born in Canada. (Ottawa, the capital, since you probably didn't know that). I spend every summer and part of winter here. (OH MY GOD! YES, WINTER!) </p>

<p>It's not even that much colder during the year than it is in New England. It's just as warm as it is there in the summer.</p>

<p>So seriously... stop. You're just embarassing yourself.</p>

<p>I<3canadians they are so cute and funny.</p>

12

<p>What ethnicity are you if you don't mind me asking?</p>

13

<p>Did you know Emory has a frat affiliated with the KKK, I truely enjoyed talking to the students from the school, it was very informative.</p>

14

<p>McGill has been THE Canadian university for the last two centuries. I has expeienced a decline in Canada due to the decline of the english community in Quebec, but its international reputation is still much better than any school in Ontario. </p>

<p>McGill has actually made a recovery in recent years.</p>

<p>I'm not very familiar with UT, but isn't having 63,000 students vs something around 20,000 at McGill a disadvatage? McGill as well has a very nice setting and campus.</p>

<p>McGill i think is more business???</p>

<p>Biz schools in canda are so randomly ranked, I've seen York, Queens, and a few others ranked #1 on many ranking systems but NEVER McGill. At the undergrad level McGill is great, but not at all for an MBA. From what I gather MBA are best in the US by far...</p>

<p>Rotman (U of T),I beleive, is more highly ranked than Deshautels (McGill) in general</p>
