Arrived in Canada: Choosing Uni?

[yellowbellow]

Hi guys,

I have arrived in Canada on a student permit for University of Saskatchewan, Bachelors of Commerce for summer term.

I'm having second thoughts for going to saskatoon. While I'm here in Toronto, I'm thinking of applying at Humber college for the Bachelors of Commerce.

Do you guys think I should attend University of Saskatchewan or Humber college. The Pro's/Con's are making me confused such as: Saskatchewan is cold but that uni is great! Toronto is not that cold, much better city but Humber college is OK.

What do you guys think?

I would stick with the University of S. A degree from a real university will go much farther with employers. Humber has a good reputation as a college - but you can't compare it to a university. A college is simply not on the same level as a university. I'll bet most employers in Canada don't even know that Humber is allowed to grant Bachelor degrees.

If you want to remain in Toronto, get admission to U of T or York.

Hey, I'm also starting my masters degree in the University of Saskatchewan this Fall. It's a very good university and far better than the college. But if you can get into the University of Toronto, then it's better. If not then stay with U of S. Keep in touch. I will arrive in Saskatoon soon. We're in the same department too. Welcome!!!

I applied to ryerson in 2012 but they put me on the waiting list. Anyway, Saskatoon seems like a good choice. It's just that it's extremely cold there and I want to pay tuition by working myself. Let's see.

Any other opinion?

You simply cannot LEGALLY work enough hours to cover your Intl Fees, no matter what. You are only allowed to work 20 hours/week during the academic terms and full time during scheduled breaks. You should consider yourself lucky, it this get you enough money to pay your living expenses (outside of fees)

If you want to be in Toronto - then U of T or York. Otherwise U of S.

Of the three, U of T has the best reputation followed by York.

U of T and York are both competitive and expensive for me Even though it would be a dream to attend either. I have admission into U of S so I guess I shouldn't let that go. 4 years of bachelors when I had completed 2 years already in US. U of S didn't transfer my credits

Congrats! Have you gotten your visa yet? I'm looking forward to attending Edwards School of Business.

Nice, I'm joining Uni of Sask. Do you think it'll be a problem if I miss the first week of classes? I'm going to miss 1 1/2 week of school, travelling issues.

There are deadlines for registration. Contact your admission office or department. They can confirm if it's ok to miss registration and classes for more than a week. Besides, I don't see why you should be missing classes for weeks while you're already in Canada and your main purpose is to study.
