So My mom was talking to me last night and she was saying how bad the economy is and its a bitch to get into colleges in the US so she said that canada colleges are somthing to think about and i live on the east coast and was wondering if you guys know rite if theres colleges near ski slopes up there so i could research that college and get an idea they say they pay the same amount of money for every student that goes plus the loans and accomodations are equal with all students just tell me what you guys think
 
there was something about this on my local news. a guess a lot of ppl are going to canada for college cause of the cheaper prices.
 
In Montreal there is Mcgill wich is a very good univeristy, Concordia...wich is a college lol and then there's a couple other college in Montreal but they are french. There is also Bishop college but this one is a bit deeper.That's about it for Quebec
 
Oups, if you're in montreal you're about 1hour away from avila wich is arguably the best park in Quebec and like 1h30 from Tremblant wich is a much bigger mountain with a really nice park too.
 
try to find a college near Toronto, your within driving distance to both Blue and MSLM both have legit parks, some schools would be Sheridan, Georgan, Humber, or you could always apply to the universities
 
Ontario and Quebec arent really eastern Canada seeing as Ontario counts as the middle of canada, because Saskatchewan and Manitoba dont count as real provinces because nobody lives there...

So Eastern Canada would be East coast, soo... Dalhousie is all i can think of. and theres no good skiing there.

 
Ontario would work i could make that drive i just dont want to have nothin to do i want to be able to ski
 
yeah the universities are cheaper than the us, but you better have some dope grades to get into a lot of them. McGill in Montreal is difficult to get accepted to but an awesome school. University of Toronto is another great school.
 
i'm assuming you mean university when you say college, and with that in mind, Western, McMaster (where i go), UofT, Guelph and ryerson are all good choices.

A school thats actually in toronto is gonna have super expensive living costs, but your in the city, and pretty close to MSLM horseshoe, and about 2 hours from blue.
 
grades, class rank, sat scoresthey dont require an essay or anything like that with their app
 
hah nope.

I had an 80 average and I'm in engineering now. For whatever reason you only need a 78 to get into the most difficult program at the school.

Louis and blue are both pretty sick. Blue was open until this weekend too.

 
Well....just hope to hell they don't require an english proficiency test in order for you to get accepted.Also, what are your grades like? (this will most likely be the deciding factor between you going to university or going to college)... which bring up the point of asking: do you want to go to University or College? There is a difference.
 
Yah i hear all the time about Rosedale's superiority in advanced mathamatics, they must have like 100%
 
going to canada for school isn't necessarily cheap...I'm an american going to UBC, and tuition this year was about 16k USD. It would be cheaper to go to a state school.
 
mcgill and concordia are good, mcgill is better, your in montreal which is one of the best cities in north america, tons of amazing bars/clubs, good looking girls everywhere, close to ski hills (avila 45 min, tremblant, 1hr 30, Jay peak 1 hr 45 and more) both have ski clubs that go all the time with transportation and shit.
 
mcgill's tuition for international kids is going wayyy up next year// concordia isn't nearly as tough to get into and the overall schooling isn't as hard. Plus montreal is an insane city, there's also Bishops University as previously mentioned, those are the three english schools in quebec.New Brunswick has an okay ski hill and okay universities, U of New Brunswick and St. Thomas. They also have Mt. A, which is a great school, just super small.Nova Scotia has, Dalhousie, St Fx, St. Mary's, Acadia and mount st vincent.It all depends on how good your grades are and how important skiing is// and if you want to live in a city or a small university towngoing to a state university can be cheaper, as an international student expect to pay minimum $13000 and up to $20000
 
it really all depends on what you have to study. mcgill is more science and etc oriented, where as concordia if more so referred as an arts school. but i think both universities offer both.
im not sure how concordia works, but mcgill has a ton of students from out of town, and have a lot of residences. i dont particularly like a lot of mcgill students, i've worked there for 5 years...but meh, good and bad everywhere right. mcgill also has a ski association or something and they do a bunch of trips to hills. there are a lot of hills outside of montreal, within an hour or so drive, but i would have to say i think toronto has more of selection of universities, i wouldn't go there to study, but then the language barrier isn't an issue...but, you know, again comes down to what you want to study, how much you're able to pay and what kind of school you want to attend...
 
If you're into it for skiing, there's a couple you can look at.
If you want to ski at Tremblant, you could check out McGill (Montreal), Ottawa (Ottawa) and Carleton (Ottawa) universities. If you want to ski at Jay Peak, there's also McGill (Montreal) and Bishop's (Quebec). If you're cool with skiing in Southern Ontario, you could go to any college in Toronto, or Western (London), and make a trip to Collingwood every weekend. The treks to each destination aren't bad, average 1 to 2 hours to each. If you can get your hands on some lodging though, it's well worth your time to hit up the weekend-warrior style hills, cuz you'll still be able to ski every week.
 
theres also bromont and bruno. pretty sick parks, not nearly as sick as avila, but theyre a little closer if youre going somewhere closer to the southshore
 
Being a university student actually from eastern canada i can tell you just about anything you want to know. Im from New Brunswick, and I decided, mostly based on skiing to come to Bishops University in Quebec, its a sick school, I had an amazing first year here, just 3 more exams and ill be done. there are lots of good ski hill around here, Jay peak is an hour away and gets the most snow on the east coast, i skied the most epic powder of my liife there this year, bromont and orford are like 30 miutes away and both have good parks.
As far as real eastern canada goes (the maritimes) the only school with good skiing would be UNB Fredericton. Crabbe mountain is close by, it has a pretty good scene, lots of competitions and a sick park and pretty good skiing and cheap passes. St Fx has wentworth close by which has a decent park

spark notes: Go to Bishops!! amazing party school!!!
 
After re-reading the OP's post, i have come to a realization that he can't get into McGill because he can't compose a basic sentence or spell...
 
As many have said, you'll be paying international tuition so you're going to have to do some research as to what is really cheaper.
 
oh and if you were intrested in mcgill i know a few people that go there from the states and i think they pay like 15000 or something like that a year, which isnt that bad because a school as good as this in the states is much much more.

that should give you an idea of the costs of a year in university for an international student. Im thinking those figures would be similar to what you would pay at other universities around, universities in bigger cities tend to be pricier when it comes to living expenses, but as far as tuition goes your looking at around 14000$
 
I go to DAL and the skiing here is pretty bunk. check out UNB maybe, their park is gettin better nowadays and theres some courses at MUN you can take in cornerbrook and Marble is ill and has good snow but the park is a bit shotty cuz its so madd steep.
