Thanks zabius for you answer, I didn't know that I should apply to release myself from a program I've accepted. I though it was a case of telling them (polity) that I've accepted another offer and I will not come. Of course i will lose my deposit, but I think that's insignificant in such a matter. I'm not aiming at all to lose respect of the faculty at McGill due to the small community of the program I'm studying. I will call Calgary and ask, but your advise is giving me a reason to go to McGill anyway. Thanks again.

Hi GradCafe, First of all, I just want to say how awesome this forum has been for me in the last couple of years. Now, after the grueling processing of applying for PhD programs, and going through the misery of waiting for the results, I have finally a Decent offer from McGill University in the Architecture program. Happy, excited, and can't wait to go. I have receive the acceptance early March and the deadline for accepting it was the first of April. On the other hand, I was promised, through contacting the staff for over a year, a good package at the Uni. of Calgary, the Computational Media Design program. The package offer that I will receive from Calgary, if accepted, is much better than McGill's offer. No word from Calgary till now and no replies to my emails anymore, staff and program co-coordinators. as April the first had past, I had to accept McGill's offer, paid the deposit and finished my Visa requirements. I'm holding applying the visa application till I get news from Calgary, but time is running and obtaining the student permit will take a minimum of 2 to 3 months. My Question is, should I just ignore Calgary and apply my visa for studying at McGill? Or should I wait till Calgary gives me a definitive answer? Sorry for the long intro and hope to hear an answer soon. Ziad.

Thank you Zerolife..... that was helpful alot!!!

CONGRATS!! to you all attending CMU this year, I'll be going to the School of Architecture, MS in Computational Design. I can't find anyone else going there, even to the SoARCH. Asking about accommodation, if anyone has any experience with the region and the prices please reply. Cheers to all!!
