Hello, Gr 12 student interested in Computer Science, need guidance on good uni programs

[hasany]

Hello, like the title states, I am a gr 12 student who wants to go into the computer science field. My grade range isn't exactly in the best position (around overall 70% - 80%) and I would like to know which universities, based on my current grade situation, offers a decent computer science program. I wish to become a computer software developer or anything in that field (i.e java, game dev, web design, etc). I already have a lot of information about UTSC, Ryerson, UoIT, Carleton, and Waterloo. I'd like to branch out my info on other schools as well just in case I don't get into these schools. Your expert advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In my area, we have Conestoga College and UofGuelph, both have very good computer science programs. If you're looking into game design, I'm pretty sure Conestoga actually has a dedicated program just for that, something you won't find at a University.

How about University of Regina? I have recently heard about this uni, doing good on this field as well as their entry requirement is not so high.

Start cutting out institutions that don't fit some must-have requirement (by location, size of university, size of town, language spoken). Cut out those without a strong Computer Science department. Cut out those with requirements that are too high and too low. You'll end up with list small enough to examine in greater detail, and from that you can pick a shortlist to examine in greater detail.

Its really a great list of universities. Thank you from my side as well.
