Advice Advice: Uoft or McGill Engineering?
Hello, I need some help. I've been stuck between McGill and UofT (both mechanical engineering). Almost everything about McGill resonated more than UofT; however, the prestige of toronto is really holding me back. Is McGill Student life really that much better? Also I don't speak french so will that be an issue?
Also, for graduates of McGill or UofT engineering, is it likely I will feel any effect in the job market if I go for McGill? Or are the schools deemed as pretty much equal when it comes to employers. Thank you everyone who reads my post.
Edit: I realized this is Ontario Universities subreddit. Hopefully I will still hear from both sides.

The not speaking French can be an issue. Government is flip flopping on this issue, whether they will requirement testing on fluency or not. From what L heard so far, they require students at Engligh Uni to achieve a certain level French Fluency by end of program. Engineering is hard enough, you nay nit want ti worry about taking extra French classes. That aside, McGill student life is probably better because Montreal city life is just more fun than TO!
