----------------------------------- zzz Tue May 27, 2003 9:48 pm America ----------------------------------- US is bad i dun like their universities why do they have different admissions systems they should make it the same because its not fair for canadians who want to apply for american universities ----------------------------------- Tony Tue May 27, 2003 9:49 pm ----------------------------------- well... it being a different country might have something to do with it... but hey, you have to write SATs just like any american applying to the uni there, so I dont see a problem :? ----------------------------------- Prince Tue May 27, 2003 10:08 pm ----------------------------------- i see a problem: american uni tuition is about 5-10x more expensive then canadian ----------------------------------- Asok Tue May 27, 2003 10:26 pm Re: America ----------------------------------- US is bad Hmm... well I can see this thread is spewing with intelligence. :P ----------------------------------- Ravage Tue May 27, 2003 10:38 pm ----------------------------------- Why go to an american university when canadian universities are rated amongst the best in the world beating out practically every american institute. So just stay canadian its so much easier, less tuition, dont have to pay for room and board, or even food. ----------------------------------- Asok Tue May 27, 2003 10:43 pm ----------------------------------- right but if you plan on working in the states (ie. California, Silicon Valley) then you're better off going to an American Technical University like MIT. ----------------------------------- Tony Tue May 27, 2003 11:24 pm ----------------------------------- if you're going to uni/collage just for the sake of going, then yeah, might as well stay in Canada... But Asok is right, if its career specific, such as MIT, then it has its advantages... ----------------------------------- JSBN Wed May 28, 2003 7:49 am ----------------------------------- ugh... not Sats... I failed the SSATs :P so much for goin to Florida central :D ----------------------------------- Tony Wed May 28, 2003 11:07 am ----------------------------------- you cant fail SATs... its a relative score :? You get some points even if you get 0 on it (I think... or was it SSAT?) ether way, there is no passing grade, but each uni/collage have their own admition standarts ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Wed May 28, 2003 7:28 pm ----------------------------------- well this is how i look at it... i say canada is more to the right and US is more to the left meaning that canada is mostly with people with no money that's y we got health insurance and our medical health care sucks but it's free but if u go to a us hospital u'll get the best treatment but it'll cost a lotta money... same with education and universities... so if u are rich US is best place to live but if u are in middle or poor u better goto canada!!! boooyeah now that spewing intelegence(if that's u spell it) ----------------------------------- Dan Wed May 28, 2003 7:49 pm ----------------------------------- i think you mean canada = left us = rigth ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Wed May 28, 2003 8:04 pm ----------------------------------- yeah something like that ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed May 28, 2003 8:05 pm ----------------------------------- odd... canadians are southpaws ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Wed May 28, 2003 9:31 pm ----------------------------------- not in economy... ----------------------------------- JSBN Thu May 29, 2003 7:12 am ----------------------------------- So what university/ college does every one want to go into? I am leaning towards Florida central for Forensics. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Thu May 29, 2003 2:35 pm ----------------------------------- waterloo for comp sci or physics (leaning toward comp sci) ----------------------------------- Dan Thu May 29, 2003 9:40 pm ----------------------------------- waterloo for comp sci or physics (leaning toward comp sci) same here, but no physics only compsci, may be software enginering or computer engering. alougth you can do compsci with a speization in software engining at waterloo i think. my dad wroks at waterloo so i whould get 1/2 of the cost so i realy whont to go there. ----------------------------------- Martin Thu May 29, 2003 10:27 pm ----------------------------------- I was leaning towards compsci at waterloo (hey Catalyst you'll finally know people on this board irl) but after reading a brief history of time, theoretical physics sounds fun...following the path of steven hawking and gordon freeman :D ----------------------------------- Ravage Sat May 31, 2003 9:48 am ----------------------------------- Well Dan you're going to need to learn how to spell before any engineering comes into action ----------------------------------- Dan Sat May 31, 2003 3:14 pm ----------------------------------- Well Dan you're going to need to learn how to spell before any engineering comes into action hey i can spell all the worads i need to like; put, cout, print, get, cin, for and if. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat May 31, 2003 3:16 pm ----------------------------------- teacher : write essay for history dan : if year=1935 then hitler->war :=true end if hehe =Þ ----------------------------------- Dan Sat May 31, 2003 3:17 pm ----------------------------------- hell ya! ----------------------------------- Blade Sat May 31, 2003 7:58 pm ----------------------------------- lmao!!! amen to that brotha!!! ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jun 07, 2003 9:24 pm ----------------------------------- i wanna get into waterloo or bc for compsci, then get a masters at michigan dun need no sat to switch universities, just have to write some stupid test on what ur majoring in ----------------------------------- Martin Sat Jun 07, 2003 9:38 pm ----------------------------------- I figure that I'll go to waterloo for compsci or pure math, and then persue my dreams as a professional lottery winner. ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jun 07, 2003 9:56 pm ----------------------------------- AHAHAHA that's cool darkness, may be i'll do something like that too ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sun Jun 08, 2003 12:59 pm ----------------------------------- I was wanting to go to university for comp science and applied and got accepted and all that stuff... but I decided college was more what I wanted... less theoretical stuff, more hands on... the way I see it, university teaches you a whole lot of things you're never going to use and it costs way more oh yeah... the SATs are an excellent idea... Canada needs a standard testing system too, because a 90 at one school is not the same as a 90 at another... ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jun 08, 2003 1:06 pm ----------------------------------- wow, ur got accepted to university? they allow ppl who don't know how to use proper grammar to go? ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Sun Jun 08, 2003 5:52 pm ----------------------------------- American school all the way for me! working on the SAT verbal right now, hopefully i'll get a high enough mark(some kid in my school got perfect, can you believe that!!!???) ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jun 08, 2003 6:21 pm ----------------------------------- meng, its massey man, and i wouldn't be surprised if laura gets perfect too, and yukai is a genius
