"University of Waterloo, 75 miles west of Toronto, has one of the best if not the best Engineering and Math departments in North America. They consistently beat Cal Tech and MIT at ACMs"

Wishful thinking at best.

Cornell not listed?

It doesn't matter which engineering school you go to... as long as you can prove yourself out there in the real world man... going to a good engineering school is one thing, becoming a good engineer is another. Engineering is a very highly discipline profession, no school on this earth can prepare you for how you'll become after you graduate. However, if you do go to a good engineering school, then that's just a bonus.

Peace...

University of Waterloo, 75 miles west of Toronto, has one of the best if not the best Engineering and Math departments in North America. They consistently beat Cal Tech and MIT at ACMs. Even better than my alma mater University of Toronto. Asian % ~50.

If You wana learn and do research go for MIT and if wanna get a degree and have a good job go to either Caltech or Berkley (for engineering especially CS).

I would think that McGill would be the top.

I did't get into UCLA but I went to Cal instead. Don't know which is better.

Huh?:

Yeah, I live right near University of Waterloo (10 minute drive). It is one of the top universities in North American in computer science and math. Ranked #1 overall university in Canada by MacLean's magazine, it is the undisputable top university for math/engineering; McMaster is more applied, but UW provides many co-op opportunities at high tech companies located around the region. It is considered the MIT of Canada in a region considered the Silicon Valley of Canada.

In the ACM Programming Contest 2002 (each team can have at most 1 grad), UW was third. UW has always been in the top; winning it a few times (I can't remeber) in the 1990s.

What's also interesting is that UW has A LOT of Asians. When I go on campus near the Math/CS building, you'll be overwhelmed by the number of Asians and the overall diversity. I think Canadian universities around here are more welcoming of Asians than say in B.C. Anyway, UW is not just the best in Canada, but in North America, and certainly Asian Americans should consider going there.

Purdue is a great school if you're white and Christian unless you don't mind subtle persecution. I don't know how it is in other engineering schools, but FOBs dominate the asian community and many whites are impressed by my lack of an accent - it's so annoying! Although there's no racial tension, you couldn't be in a more segregated school.

To, Jon;

I thought the U of Waterloo was the best for Canada. It was right behind MIT in some contest, lost to them by a few seconds to fix problems and such...

Red Red Seashell said, "Of course everyone is going to vote for his/her own school."

that's true, but you also should realize that students self-select. in other words, take 2 schools of similar calibre, stanford and MIT for exmaple. if you go to stanford and ask , "what's a better school, S or MIT?" , most stanford students will tell you stanford. but asides from the bias that you've already mentioned, a lot of people at stanford engineer went there because they felt it was better than MIT in the first place. the undergrads who thought MIT was a better engineering school went to MIT, not stanford.

I hope that wasn't too confusing.

cheers
