McGill is Superior

• To share my experience:
  
  I chose McGill over Queens, U-Toronto as well as McMaster. It was a great decision...The problem with University of Toronto is you are just a number... too big and too impersonal... Queens is all fluff with no diversity and a severly lacking graduate school.
  
  McGill has problems too (budgetery mostly) but in the US it has a phenomenal reputation... as an example, when I called to inquire about applying to Harvard, the head of the admissions faculty to the grad program responded by saying: "We love receiving applicants from McGill... they are really strong". In the US, McGill is well known with a solid reputation, particularly in the Northeast... some 10-15% of Mcgill student body is american!
  
  Ps. Waterloo is undeniably a great school for engineering though... even better than McGill... although Mcgill is no slouch either... this one year, a company from Boston came to mcgill and sucessfully recruited 80% of their graduating class in electrical engineering.
