dear all,
I need your advice:
I am currenlty studying in th UK and entending to carry on for a PhD or MAsters in CANADA
for the universities I am considering: OTTAWA or CArelton are better than Quebec's one BUt I still really prefere the MCgill one although I am not quite sure whether I will like the Quebec Life....what do u advice?
it seems to me ...that Life in an English Province is much better than the French one, but as a student I would think that it is cheaper to live in MONTERIAL than in OTTAWA!!! init?
I am also considering UBC, British Colombia UNi, I have considered it but it seemed to me that it is quite isolated....however, Vancouver is really nice place...
what about McMaster uni?
Otherwise: Between Carelton and OTTAWA and MCgill and BC uni which one do you thin is better? from different perespectives
I really need to submit my file sooner and I am still making my mind and trying to make the best Decision ...........
Anyway and anyhow, I have to come sometime in April or June to visit Canada, but before then I HAVE TO SECURE a place in University....which I have to do very soooon
choosing a project + supervisor for each university makes things for me more complicated....
Hear from you all sooner
Thanks for answering me.
Much appreciation.
Regards,
Meriem.
Montreal should be your choice afaics .No education anywhere can match the Cosmopolitan Grace one inherites from living in this city.
Thx very much
other things to consider or more important than what you mentioned..please it is a BIG decision that should be based on SEVERAL thinmgs...not just cosmopolitan city...ect
Thx very much again.
hear from u sooner
Meriem,
If you are going for a Ph.D, then the most important thing to consider are the individual faculty that are doing work in the specific area that you want to get your degree in!
When I applied to universities for my Ph.D this year, I found all of the top schools in my department in the nation, and then I cross-corellated this with lists of top-schools in my specific field of interest, and visited all the websites and read about the faculty and their projects.
Many schools do not have faculty doing significant work in my area of interest -- that means, having a good reputation, not having too many existing grad students, having done interesting research, having been actively publishing...
I think you better first check to see that your field of interest is even well supported at each university first. This is much more important than the location. If the field you are applying to is not being research at the school you apply to, you're going to get rejected no matter how good your record is.
Also, you need to work on your English!
Good luck
