What is the BEST Computer Science faculty in Canada?

Faculty of mathmatics and computer science of U of Waterloo? UT? UBC? of Mcgill?

Look up which gets the largest funding.

Really shouldn't be something to look at for picking a University. Imho.

That totaly depends on how you define "best" and what you value in a faculty and university.

My vote for the UofW comes from a statistical sample of one.

I liked Waterloo, but it's the only school I went to, I'm biased for the alma mater, and have no frame of reference for comparison. If I did, it would be a 25 year old frame of reference. Smile

Still, the UofW gets my vote for best of breed.

Cheers

Between the schools listed, the quality of education will not differ significantly, although the experience of attending will.

Co-op is one of the areas to look at. UW has six 4 month long co-op terms. UofT has one continuous 12~16 month work "year". You could choose to not do co-op, and opt to graduate faster.

you don't learn much from courses. If you seriously want to study programming, coop is one way, another way is pick up books.
