Thread: Graduate study .. which school?!

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to do grad studies (masters) in Chemical Engineering in Canada. I received admission offers from the following schools:

McGill University
University of Toronto
University of Alberta
University of Waterloo

which one would you recommend? what are the strengths/weaknesses of each one?

Any comment/information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance ...

Hi anonzil,

I think ultimately it depends on how each university performs for the course that you want to do, as well as going to a well recognised uni, you want to go to the one that will offer you the best start in that field of study

cool i'm going to do a masters in chem eng at imperial college london/

how i decided was like markk said i evaluated how each university performed in this course.
when i had a shortlist of choices i went to visit each one. this may be harder to do in canada i'm not sure.
consider that you will be living at this place for 4 years probably. maybe 3 if you have a sandwich course. so although the performance of the uni is a major aspect you also need to think if you will enjoy living there.

It all deoends on how the university performs for the course that you want to study, in my view

I go to McGill, so I'm biased towards that one, but it's more of a biomedical research school.

I think UoT would be better for chemical engineering department.

Although, the idea of living in Toronto disgusts me

good choice with imperial college london. When your looking for a career after graduating look at Here for recruiters or Here for jobs and advice.

all the best.

Hi anonzil,

Hows it going, have you made a decision yet?
