MPP - SFU vs UoT

[Bella95]

Hi everyone!

I got accepted to both SFU and UoT for the masters of public policy program. I’m having a hard time deciding between the programs. I think my quality of life will be better in Vancouver as my friends and family are here, but I know UoT is more prestigious and I’m not sure if this will help with my future goals. In the long term, I’d like to change the policy around mental health services in communities and in prisons. Any advice??

I'd suggest you choose the one you're most appealed to. Consider classes and professors for both programs. If you're planning on making a career in this field, it's wise to take the more prestigious program. It's often worth leaving your comfort zone and it will pay off in the future
