I would say this university has a good reputation.  \n\nI have met people who have graduated from Manchester and they give positive feedback.\n\nGood luck with your studies, where ever you chose to study.\n\nThe link I've attached should help you to make your mind up...

Definitely a 4.0, but you have to offer much more then good grades on your transcript (extra curricular activities, sports, leadership... anything that really stands out). They're looking for people with a wide range of talents. Its sad, but its true if your a women you'll have a better chance, and if your ethnographic. Harvard is one of the absolute most prestigious university's to get into... but there are plenty other well respected colleges that aren't as competitive to get admission.

It depends.  The rankings for undergrad programs are just plain and simple made up, or might as well be.  Too many factors, too much shady dealing, too much of, well, trying to sell issues of the magazine.  Funny how colleges that refuse to even let US News & World Reports on their campus still wind up in the "survey results."  You are also trying to compare fundementally different programs without taking those differences into consideration.\n\nThe Graduate program rankings fair a little better, because there you can at least compare department to department and not try to reduce the entire school down to a number.\n\nIn short, the graduate rankings have some meaning, but you can pretty much replicate the undergrad rankings by conducting a person on the street survey.\n\nOne of the better undergraduate surveys that I have found was "Colleges that Change Lives."  It winds up being a very usefull tool for a couple of reasons.  First it doesn't assign any points, it simply talks about each of the colleges it is surverying, and secondly it is very narrow in focus, in this case really indroducing one to the world of small, personable liber arts colleges.  Obviously if one is looking to go to a big school, for any number of fine reasons this list is not for them, but it is a list that at least does it right.

According to the US News & World Report (2006 Edition) of the Best National Universities: University of Florida ranked 50th place, University of Miami ranked 55th place, Florida State University ranked 109th place.\n\nThe real choice is yours!!

It is a pretty good University for the cost it has. Another very good option for international students is the University of Alberta which has a separate internation students association.\nU of Alberta international: http://www.international.ualberta.ca/\nU of Winnipeg: http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/international-index

I have been denied to Dawson. It doesn't really bother me though because I got accepted to John Abbott for the same course.\n\nNot only that, I hear Dawson is too crowded. Also I don't think it really matters what college you go to, its just a transition to getting into University.\n\nI have a friend who went to Marianopolis and one who went to Vanier and they're in the same course at McGill.

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.

It is an accredited university. They are great for the few degrees they do, but they are also very expensive.

I don't know which country you live in, but Athabasca University in Canada offers a very well recognized distance undergraduate degree in education.  It is a very good university.

McGill (Montreal), University of Toronto has a very strong reputation on the east side, I would suspect Simon Frasier (Vacnouver) has a pretty strong name.\n\nBut that is name only. I went to Concordia, and I do believe the quality of education I got there was better than my friends at McGill, but less impressive on your resume.\n\nBut after I started working, I was thoroughly impressed by the number of skilled workers coming from ETS (ecole de technologie superiere). I visited the university and was very impressed at the curriculm and facilities. Courses are taught in French though.
