I agree as well. I think the choice here is brand vs. work experience. I don't think either is the wrong choice.

What about their locations?
How does the location aid the decision?

Usually a Co-OP program is always better than the regular one.

However, do not make the final call only due to the co-op part. I'd suggest that contact students and faculty member of both the programs and ask them about their experience and their opinion about the program. They will suggest you the right way.

A person who has graduated from the program can always tell you much more of the insider part which others cannot.

As for the Co-op part, let me just clarify to be sure that we are all on the same page. In Brock's MBA Co-op, which is of two years, there are four study terms and one co-op term. the co-op term is in the summer term from May-August after the second year.
Similarly, McMaster has four study terms and the period from May-August will be free for me.So if I am correct I can even find a work project myself for that period.
What say you now?

I actually applied for Co-op programs only. Wilfrid Laurier and McMaster were my first two options, however, could not make it to any of them. Sigh!
