How can you compare these universities man? McMaster should be your choice. Do you know how hard it is to get admission in Mcmaster? Blindly accept Mcmaster.

Thanks for the replies everyone..Extremely sorry for being late to the discussion which i raised myself.

It turns out that I won't be able to afford the McMaster tuition fee. :( Its extremely high & they have no options for scholarships as well.

So the only options left with me are Carleton University in Ottawa & Saint Mary's University in Halifax. I also have an option to go to George Brown College for the Information Systems Business Analysis program [1 year] [$ 22000].

Which one would you suggest me to pick, considering job prospects, quality of education, ROI, average starting salary and all other aspects that I should really look into before jumping to any decision?? Thanks..

So i am cancelling the GBC offer..Not looking back anymore...Thanks Propain for that lamborghini suggestion ;D ...

Congratz lovedeepsingh on receiving your offer from Carleton..

Cant afford McMaster because of the high tuition fee..Feeling really low about that.. :'(

Anyways, I still have 2 good options, although not at par with McMaster's reputation.

Boils down to Carleton & Saint Mary's. Its getting really hard to decide. I have heard from a few people that Carleton's reputation among employers isnt that good, considering there is a huge no of reputed universities in Ontario. On the contrary, Saint Mary's in halifax is one of the top schools in that region.

My question to all of you guys...Carleton vs Saint Mary's? which one should i go for? & Why? Some pros & cons can really help me decide between the two..

I would go for carleton as Ontario offers a lot of job opportunity and also it;s near the main town center.
