It is a good school; one of the top five in Canada.

yay, Victoria, my favorite city.. I was a boarder at St. Michaels univ. school... I love Vic.. I've a lot of friends at Uvic, its a great place to meet decent people and learn from great teachers.. but, I would recommend other places like UBC, McGill, Queens, and UT over Uvic. But it's still very amazing there... any more questions, email me

OXFORD and Cambridge are among the world's top ten universities, according to a new global ranking published today. \n\n \n \nThey were fifth and sixth respectively in the league table of the world's 200 best universities. Harvard, which boasts an endowment of nearly $23billion (£12.7billion), was first in the list produced by The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES).\n\nAmerican institutions occupied seven of the top ten places, with Oxbridge the highest-ranked outside the United States. \n\nLondon's position as a centre of global educational significance was confirmed with four institutions in the top 50. The London School of Economics was 11th, Imperial College 14th, University College London 34th, and the School of Oriental and African Studies 44th.

7.5 possibly an 8. My intellect on the other hand is a 10.

Although I realize that this is not what you really meant to ask, for the record, I was in my dorm room at McGill University in Montreal.\n\nWhen the news first came across the wire, a group of students went and got a list of the more than 600 American students at McGill and set out to make sure that every single one was alerted of the terrible news and to then offer their condolences and sympathy. This was how I got the news. It was a simple act of kindness that I will always remember.

I don't know a lot about the programs.  I do have some friends who have went there for BS and Masters programs and they loved it.  \n\nNot too much help but these guys loved it so maybe that will help some

Hey! They all are really great ones. They all specilised in that area. But comparing them in other things, such as student's accomodation or scholarship or in some areas, I think Maric is a little better than the other two.So I would really like to advise Maric..Whatever u choose, good luck!

i didn't go there, nor do i have any close friends who have, but from what i hear it's the best public school in the area by far, better than many of the private schools.  i think there's a good deal of pressure on the students to do well, but then they make it easier to do well.  it's tough to get into, but well worth it.

My friends say the same thing too. I would rate you a 9.

I'm not as familiar with Canadian universities as I am with those in the US and Europe, so I'm sorry. But from what little I do know, both are considered good schools. U Toronto has a bigger "name", to my knowledge, but Microsoft recruits out of U Waterloo.

Well, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue is a great little town to live in, on the water, quaint.  The campus is very separate from the main McGill Campus downtown...in fact the downtown campus students tend to make fun of the MacDonald campus, but they don't really have much connection other than the name.  MacDonald is connected to John Abbott, the CEGEP, so there are younger students around (CEGEP students are around 17-19 years old).  You're on the island of Montreal, but getting downtown if you don't have a car is long.  There's a shuttle that McGill offers between campuses in case you have classes downtown. Otherwise there's the 211 bus that will take you to a Metro stop - it can take between 45 minutes and 1 hour and a half depending on traffic.  My friend did environmental studies there and enjoyed it.  She spent her time between both campuses.  She was able to do lots of field work as well.  Montreal is a great place to live, you don't have to speak French.  In fact Ste-Anne's is in the "West Island" which is where the majority of the English population lives.  However if you want to learn French, the resources are there, you just need to take advantage of them.  Plus, if you're American even the international tuition will be cheaper than most American schools and also McGill still has its reputation as one of the best schools in Canada.  It's not easy though, you are marked harder here and there tends to be more competition between students.  Other statements about McGill are true - there's no school spirit, the football games aren't important (it is Canada after all...you're better off going to a Hockey game if you want to see a game).  The student body is made up of everyone from everywhere.  It's a very international school.  You'll get Anglophones and Francophones from quebec, tons of students from the rest of Canada, especially Ontario and all over the world. Students from Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, the Middle-East and Asia are just as common.  If you're American and planning on coming to study in Canada it's always good to be sympathetic and respectful of the country you're planning to live in.  Despite our proximity, we really are two different countries with very different value systems.

According to the Latest News: 2005 Melbourne Institute International Standing of Australian Universities, RMIT sit on the 24th place but University of Melbourne ranked number 19 in the world based from 2005 Times Higher Education Rankings.\n\nBut, if you're looking for different institution, Curtin University of Technology and Queensland University of Technology are much better than RMIT for Sciences & Technology Disciplines and both in 22 and 25 in Asian ranking. In this case, RMIT sits in number 28.\n\nFor further information just visit this URL address
