Schools: uofRochester, uofToronto
Intended major: Psychology + political science (pre-med)
Similarities: they both have great study abroad programs + a lot of international students for support

UofRochester
Pros:

  • Emphasis on research
  • Hospital on campus so experiences
  • Smaller school so better for med school recs/grad school recs
  • and merit scholarships!

Cons:

  • unsafe neighborhoods
  • a tad bit too academic
  • no direct flight as an international

*UofToronto
Pros:

  • Great location
  • a lot of opportunities including research/internships
  • canada has great visa/work study permits
  • courses & studies seem so interesting

Cons:

  • no scholarship but not as expensive
  • large campus so harder professor connections

Tiebreaking considerations:

  • i’m not too sure about med school so it’s on the table bur not very much fixed on yet!
  • also considering transferring so maybe smaller school might be better for it

uoft is the better program out of the two schools (academically wise) but it’s also much more rigorous in terms of course work
