I went to the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. The University of Toronto seems dead and boring.

U of T is a school all about academics and not social life, if you slip there you're kicked out

Western is suppose to be a school thats fun and full of extra-curricular activities as well as good academics...i went there for my first year...it was okay but not that great..not much culture at all

[The Answer]

School = a mix of academics and social life

like 90% academics
10% social life

Sure it will be a nice 4 years, but when you graduate the academics and prestiges of your school mean more than those wonderful parties

I never said there wasnt...but i find way to many friends who make their school choice based mostly on social life, which is a huge mistake

Agreed. Social life is definitely an important element, but the "education" part is the most important.

im gonna apply at NYU

[nubre3d]

even if education is the most important thing i feel a canadian university won't give you the best experience...like i said before there are plenty of schools that can balance academics with social life...like western...but most canadian schools dont
