University Choices: U of Waterloo or U of Toronto

[heavyarms]

basically its a challenge of whether to choose waterloo or toronto for urban planning / urban planning. The only problem I got into the alternative program for urban planning in waterloo and go into co-op urban studies for utsc but utsc seems more like a social science aspect of the program.

anyone have any insights to anything like whether both programs are similar, totally different or which one would be better to go to?

I heard UofW has one of the best co-op programs in Canada. But everyone is trying to get in so it's hopeless. Could look into it though.

I have a friend who's in planning in UW. He loves it :) He's got a few decent jobs each term. Worked for City of Toronto and City of Waterloo.

Normally I would say so too, but I have no knowledge about these two programs.

Social sciences are a key part in understanding UP. The theory still needs to be incorporated. If these two are a close match, try going to either university and checking out what makes it different (rez, nightlife, profs, student size, tuition).

thanks everyone, well I guess considering the two programs, I could have trouble with financial issues as I would need to borrow to pay for the tuition, books, residence which could cost roughly 8000 -> 12, 000 a year and I don't know if i can handle it like paying off osap when I finish -> which roughly could be like 35, 000 or so. UofW suits my needs, but financially, i could be working for the next few years after I graduate working to pay off my osap. While UofT -> no residence, Co-Op program =S, decision decisions.
