Valid points. Howeverr, I will consider going to UofT when the electives offered pick up, for that matter, when all good CDN schools pick up in that regard. Right now, I see UBC as having the most diverse curriculum, that is, the most elective offerings in the most areas. UWO, for all its pomp and circumstance, is not that great a place. IN fact, it is far more hype than anything. Course offerings are shit, that place frankly annoys me. However, it is a place for upward mobility in Canada. If you want to know where most top I-bankers in Caanda got their MBA's-its from Ivey. It is good for networking. all the senior type, or most of them, that I have run into in interviews at Ibanks, have MBA's from Western. Go figure. I asked one of them how you learn finance there, they said you didn't. Go figure. For Western's tuition, you would think that you would get some electives, there sure aren't which makes me wonder where the money goes. As for Mcgiill, good school-for international business. I haven't heard much emanating from that school, decide for yourself. I don't know if I would want all my contacts to be in Montreal, or Quebec for that matter, its a sinking ship.
As for the tuition-benefit approach, yeah, the US schools are fucken costly. You better make sure that the degree is gonna make that big a difference in your career if you want to go there as opposed to Canadian schools. May be a good idea if you want to work in the States for a while, degree would open up doors there and here.
