I dont want to regret for choosing University. Which one would be the best choice?

I'd recommend that you take a trip to both universities and check out their cities. For me, it comes down more to environment of the campus and city than anything else. The undergraduate curriculum is likely to be similar at both schools...at Guelph, it'll be slightly less heavy in the beginning due to the way they have it set up.

Also, looking at the undergraduate calendars and figuring out which courses you have to take to graduate would be a good idea.

As a student at Guelph, it looks like we have more practical courses on software engineering and design, while Queen's is more into medical stuff, which looks _really_ cool. Those are the main differences I see at a glance.'

Both schools are solid, I'm sure you'll have a positive experience either way.

The "best choice" is done on a personal level, and you still have not thought of anything about a University that is important to you, personally.

Though Bobrobyn has a pretty solid advice -- check out both campuses, if you can. Take a look at course calendars to compare the classes you'll be taking.
