samira_a Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I have posted this question in "Computer Science Admissions" forum once. Sorry for the duplicate posts. I've been admitted to M.Sc. in Computer Science in University of Toronto and UWaterloo. I have to decide very soon. :rolleyes: The financial packages are almost the same (31,600$ Toronto, 30,200$ Waterloo), but since the tuition fees are less in UoT (I guess because they do not have a compulsory summer semester), I receive 3,000$ more in UoT (when subtracting the tuition fees). I have many friends in both universities, but the more I talk to them, the harder it is to make my decision. :hmm: For me, the most important factor is "reputation" of university, both in the field of CS, and in general. I mean that when I am going to apply for a job after being graduated, or to apply for a PHD in another university, a MS degree from which of these universities helps me more? Also which will give me more chance for getting a Canada visa? By the way, I have also been admitted to UBC, and UC Irvine. If possible, please tell me how these two compare to the mentioned universities (UW and UoT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gradwiz Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Congratulation :tup:. Good luck with your decision. I was wondering when you get the acceptance letter from UofT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dost Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 In Waterloo, you'll get a MMath degree whereas Toronto gives a MSc. And Toronto is a better city to live in, and the school is reputable in CS. I would choose Toronto... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
