Hey! I also accepted my offer to UofT and am now looking for housing.. what have you found?! We should start an fb group to start meeting everyone...

I am still debating between McGill and U of T.. I'm from Calgary and would like to eventually end up back in Calgary after I graduate. Is it possible to do out of province placements while at U of T? I am leaning towards McGill yet I have heard the program is very theoretical with less focus on clinical experience, leaving students feeling unprepared to enter the workforce after graduating. Suggestions?

Thanks Inny! The questions you asked about me are both VERY relevant to my hesitations about McGill. I have never spent much time in Montreal but I have heard amazing things about the city and feel this would be one of my only chances to live in the city. On the other hand, I have been to Toronto many times and I have family in and around the city. As for my french abilities... I took french immersion for 13 years and at one point was fluent but now I would NOT consider myself bilingual...Does anyone know about how this would influence my internship and practicums? I read that unless students are bilingual, they will have to take a placement outside of Quebec for their summer internships. This would not be the case at U of T. Overall, I am torn because McGill does have a very good reputation, small program and great research focus... all in a great city!! However... U of T is equally as prestigious without certain challenges such as language Kath 16: Thanks for the advice!! I have to admit, I have also heard that McGill is the "gold" for SLP programs. Yet, I agree that once you have qualified as an SLP it shouldn't matter where you studied.

I already wrote a post but didn't get any replies:( Still trying to decide between McGill and U of T... Can't decide, ANY suggestions... Thanks

Hi all, So exciting to find this thread and see many other people going through the same process as myself. As of now I have been accepted to McGill and U of T, waitlisted for Dal and UWO. U of T was my top choice but I never thought I had a shot at McGill. Now I'm having the hardest time deciding which school to attend. Any suggestions about how the programs differ, what each has to offer? Thanks!!
