Toronto vs. Montreal

So I got into both McGill and University of Toronto

Where to go though...Both schools are equally as good relatively so it's down to the cities...

Which is better:

Toronto:

Pros:

- Mostly English
- Most diverse city in the world
- Lots to do obviously
- Better weather than Montreal

Cons:

- 19+ drinking age
- A lot of corporate things

Montreal:

Pros:

- 18+ drinking age, I can do anything there therefore in first year
- Best night life in Canada and one of the best of North America
- Lots of diversity in McGill
- Lots to do as well

Cons:

- Awful weather
- Quebecois superiority complex

Help :(

Go to Montreal if you want to get mugged. ^o^

I've only been to Montreal for vacation, but I gotta say the nightlife is amazing. Oh and they have Peel's Pub.

Aren't you from Vancouver? Why would you go to Toronto?

Well I would choose Montreal, Toronto is dieing and it's a downright ugly city. Also learning some French really wouldn't be a bad thing, and Montreal is incredibly English now so I wouldn't worry abnout that too much.

Not true. I got ripped off by a stripper once for that exact reason. :(

I would go to Montreal as i live close to Toronto and go their all the time and would say Montreal has more to offer and would be more of an experience. Although why would you say Toronto is "American in nature"?Blitz_Nemesis

LOL. My buddy and I were talking about which states were the most Canadian after listening to our curling team's ridiculous Michigan/Minnesota/Canadian type accent. wstfld

I love Toronto so of course I'd go with UofT

For some reason, I am not all to fond of what I've heard of French Canadia. Can't really put my finger on it. But it would enough to convince me to go to Toronto if I was on the fence on deciding where to go. Just my $.02. I am an American, so my entire post could be considered completely irrelevant.

Assuming you'll spend most of your time in downtown Montreal if you choose McGill, there is nothing to worry about in terms of language and culture barrier. Heck, most of the shops, restaurants and clubs surrounding the campus are likely to speak to you in English before French.

lol, I thought you meant a hockey game.

Anyways, I'd say Montreal. It sounds like more fun.

Montreal by far

Toronto is an ugly, polluted, gang filled city.

I've lived in Toronto, and now I live in BC (not to far from van) and I can tell you toronto has vancouvers problems on crack.
