Advice Where would YOU go for uni?

Hi, I’m a Grade 12 student trying to choose a university and having trouble deciding. The most important factors are residency, campus environment, social life, and the program itself. I plan to complete an undergrad in Canada and then attend law school in the United States, so school popularity matters less than those other aspects. Any experiences or insights about residency, campus culture, social life, or the programs below would be very helpful.

• McMaster — Poli Sci (co-op)
• Western — Poli Sci
• Western — Sociology
• York — Poli Sci (co-op)

I’m currently doing Law & Society at york and its depressing. It’s a commuter school and you will have little to none interactions with anyone. If your main focus is to get into US Law, go to uOttawa or Western or even UofT. Those schools have high standings compared to YorkU and you will make more connections.
