The largest University is not necessary the best in Computer Science or Arts. Though I am working on a guide that's more comprehensive than a map - stay tuned.

And students staying in-province was one of the points I was hinting at in the article (thx for bringing it up!). Not every hometown comes with a University. In fact, outside of a few select areas, chances are that a student would have to move anyways. I then urge students to consider Universities further away, at least for the sake of an educated choice.

The maritime provinces actually appear surprisingly dense compared to the rest of Canada, but I guess it is just the small (physical) size of those provinces. It seems like 9 of every 10 students in my graduating class who are going to university or college are staying in province. I have to admit, it has some advantages (especially financial), but I would feel like I was missing out if I stayed in my hometown for my education. Cool map.
