Is an MEng from Windsor really worth it?

I have been admitted to Meng Program Electrical Jan Intake 2015.

But now that I have got admission, I am having second thoughts whether I should go there or not. I have heard and also read on some of the earlier posts from seniors on this forum that Windsor is not a well-reputed university in Canada and the availability of jobs is also an issue for windsor students after completion of their course especially after 2008 recession.

So my question is that is uWindsor really worth of all the money we are going to spend?

2ndly I have also come to know that since Meng from windsor is 16 months long program so for that we'll get a 1 year PGWP. Is that true?

With 82% in your B.E , dont go for Windsor
Try for much better.. u can get in Mcmaster, UBC, McGill
But for Winter2015 ,the deadline is over.. Email and ask these universities if you can still apply for winter2015 intake ?
Else apply for May2015
P.S-- Windsor is Costly too and not Well Reputed
If you dont have any other option, then go for it

Well I am also waiting for a reply from Ottawa but it's been months since I applied and haven't received any response but that's an issue for another day.
Right now I don't have any other choice. And I fear if I miss this opportunity I may or may not get admission next year. :mad:

Is there any difference in course-work in May intake from other Intakes?

Well bro. To be honest Windsor should be the last destination. It surely is better than many other universities. Go for Windsor if you don't have any other options left. Just a summary of my experience I want to share. I have BSc - 84%, MSc - 70%. Still I got rejected from Mcmaster, Waterloo, Guelph, Regina and Calgary. Only Windsor gave me admit. In my case I have only Windsor as option :)
