Engineering: uOttawa vs Western
Hi there, its come down to these two as my options. I plan to go into mechanical engineering if that makes a difference.
So far here's what I have:
-Western has higher overall reputation
-Ottawa's Engineering is supposedly better (Western still a reputable program)
-Western's Campus is much nicer (Arguable but I think its true)
-Ottawa has the better COOP for sure (Western still has coop)
-Western has a much better social scene
-I have five friends going to uOttawa for engineering (Yes I'll make lots of new friends but its nice to have a few going with you that you know.)
-Live in Toronto so Western is a bit closer if I need to come home for whatever reason.
Overall I dont know what to do because I feel that I would have a much better time at Western but Ottawa has the better program and coop. At the same time employers won't care too much about whether you got your degree from western or ottawa because both are good and accredited. So I'm stuck. Any advice is appreciated.
