Hey, that's a tough choice because you're right they are both a bit similar. I would take a long look at the courses they offer. I imagine U of S would be slightly more expensive just because you'd have to travel there for 2 weeks in Aug. If all is equal from your perspective with courses and such, I would strongly consider the future connection aspect. Will making professional connections in Sascatchewan really gain you a significant advantage if you are planning on living in Victoria? If it were me, I would work on making new connections in Victoria and building on existing ones because those are the ones that may be more likely to help you in your future career. If you are considering reputation, I think U of S is fine now but they did have some issues/complaints with the MPH program in the past.
