I think usa because of the language ( you probably don't speak french or german or italian as good as english), they offer financial aid to international students, colleges are good etc. the thing that is very different is the way of live. they have tottaly different lifestyle, habits, diplomacy, medical insurence ( you can pay $100 to fix your tooth!)... but when you get used to it and learn to do things their way ( i don't think it is a bad way, it's just very different from european) it won't be a problem.
most of the people say it's cheaper and the amount of the financial aid they are giving is more than US.
I know that canadians have extremly well organised school. Better that USA ( that's what we learned at school ), but I don't know any details so I can't help you on that, but I'm also interested it this so would anyone , please, explain this to us?
It's not just a question of whether Canada or the USA is better, but which college or university in those countries is better. It also depends on what you want to study, whether you want to be in a big city or a small town or rural area. There's no one right answer that is best for everybody, but an answer that is best for you.
Hi alnijya. First, I notice you're from Istanbul. I was in your city less than three weeks ago. I absolutely loved it and would go back in a heart beat. As for universities, I'll admit that I'm a bit biased as a Canadian. Canadian universities are relatively inexpensive and you will receive a high quality education. I suppose the choice of where you attend would depend upon what you want as a career. Some schools are more expensive than others here, of course. If you go to Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver, tuition will be higher, as will the cost of living (more so in Toronto, which is an expensive city to live in). Calgary and Edmonton are, by Canadian standards, large cities (about a million each), but their university tuition and cost of living are in the middle range. I attended the University of Regina. Regina is the capital of the province of Saskatchewan. The city is just a shade under 200,000 people and the entire province is under 1,000,000. The school is very good and the instructors are quite helpful. The campus is diverse; their are Canadian students of every ethnic group one could think of as well as a multitude of foreign students, mostly from Asia. I loved campus life, and spent all of my time in residence on the university grounds (there were three residences when I attended, but two more have just been built). If one choses, there are a number of affordable apartments within walking distance. One of my friends when I lived on campus (Luther College residence) was from Istanbul as well. Unfortunately I've lost touch with her, but she said that she really liked Regina. There's also Saskatoon, the largest city in Saskatchewan at roughly 225,000 people, where the University of Saskatchewan is located. I had a number of friends in archaeology who attended that school. I'll post links to those two universities: http://www.uregina.ca/ http://www.usask.ca/ I'll also post a link to other Canadian universities and colleges: http://www.uwaterloo.ca/canu/ Good luck.
