Best Canadian University for International Students: Toronto, York, Waterloo or Ryerson?
I'm looking to take a Postgraduate Tourism, Marketing or IT Management-related course :) MA or Grad Dip level. Kindly review the schools based on these criteria: - good programs for international students - great Engineering/ Business courses - one that is reputable but not too competitive... I want to learn in a good institution but don't want to be buried in books all day. Right now, I'm leaning towards UNIVERSITY of WATERLOO or RYERSON UNIVERSITY. Also, if you have additional time, kindly advise me on the status of the ff. in the schools you will mention: - part-time employment opportunities for students - great international student population - employment opportunities/ placement/ professional networking after graduation - extra-curricular activities and parties :) Thanks so much for your advice! [===================] I want to hear about reputations of schools from residents themselves. Because I hear from school recruiters/ websites all the time and of course, they tend to oversell their schools. I want to hear about what's more or less the general outlook on these schools. Thanks again!

If you google each school, you will see the criteria and the grades you will need. Canadian universities only recruit on top academics and I can't think of any with PG Tourism. That's usually done at a community college in Canada.

Waterloo and Toronto have reps as very serious schools. Ryerson may have more of the kind of courses you want. Check Macleans Magazine and the Globe and Mail for their surveys. www.macleans.ca/universities/ www.macleans.ca/education/rankings.jsp www.globecampus.ca/

I'm a UW grad and I still work there part time... the programs your interested in seem to have more a business slant to them, I would direct you to one of the big business universities ie. western or laurier for the management type programs. With regards to toursim that is a college pursuit typically. I think you should be looking at post grad. programs at colleges...
