Sarah's doing Maths and Psychology if that helps anyone.

Which term/semester is it going to be? Cos Montreal's way too cold in winter.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

GO TO MUN!!!!!!!!

BESTESET PLACE EVA!!!!!



Seriously, I don't care where else you go and what your doing, you will meet so many cool people and have such an awesome time if you came to MUN. The best people in the world are from here.
Besides that, Mun offers a wide varity of courses from business to music to maratime studies to pure math. Whatever you want to do, you probably can.
And Newfoundland is such a culture heavy place it would be hard NOT to have an amazing experience. You should definately come here. If you want the bigcity experience, then go to Tornoto or New York or something, by all means. But if you want to go somewhere that would be a real experience, then come here!





oh...and I go to mun. :mrgreen:

Montreal is a great great great city but Concordia is sort of "eh" as far as universities go.

Ottawa is sort of a boring town.

The best SCHOOL on your list is U of Toronto, but the best city to visit is Montreal ;)

Newfoundland culture is akin to UK culture though so it's not much new.


i would also like to remind you that Western Canada exists. As far as natural scenery you can't beat BC or Alberta. If you go west i woudl suggest Calgary or Victoria, both are beautiful clean cities. Calgary has the moutains.....and Banff. Victoria has to be the nicest city in Canada, not tomention the Ocean and mountains again on the mainland....oh and BC doesn't get anywhere near as cold. Closer to UK weather

I agree (which I suppose is shocking :roll:). MUN is a great university, and my opinion has nothing to do with my having family working there. But, it would be a good experience, Newfoundland is famous for being friendly. And if you have a strange love of folk music, you'd be in luck.

Ahh lots of replies :D Thank you lots.

As Sooz said, I'm doing Psychology and Maths. Because it's Dual Honours and a bit of a weird combination there are restrictions on where I can go which is a pain.

I'd be there for just the one semester and it would be in place of my first semester next year: so September to December ish.

The exhaustive list is...
Canada: Brock Uni, Concordia, MUN, Uni of British Columbia, Uni of Guelph, Uni of Ottawa, Uni of Toronto.
USA: Appalachian State, Ball State, Bowling Green, Colorado State, Minnesota State, Old Dominion, Uni of North Texas, uni of Tennesse, uni of Texas San Antonio, Uni of Utah and Willamette.

I have to say that I'm not particularly partial to Folk music...but I'm sure I can learn. Hell, Damien Rice is folk, according to Windows Media Player ...:freak:

Mun has both Psychology and Math programs so that wouldn't be a problem.

Don't worry about the music bit. Folk Music rules this place but you'd have to be staying here for quite some time to really get the feeling of it. Unless you went to the folk festivel....or something that had any sort of live music...

Annnyway. If you want more persuasion for MUN then how about this- George St. People like to claim that it had the world record for the most concentrated number of bars and pubs on one street or something. I don't know how true that is, but none the less, its a lot. What can we say? We like to drink!

Mun is definately the way to go. :thumbs:

Haha. That's pretty cool. I would love to know who travels the world working out those statistics. Would be a fantastic job!

The uni I'm at at the moment is a campus uni - i.e. we're a bit out from any major cities and that so I think I want to go somewhere nearish to a city, or at least in an urban area, just for a bit of a different experience

CM Male Hottie Of The Year, eh? Sounds good to me :P

It now looks like I won't be able to go to my first choice (Macquarie in Sydney) so I'm back the step 1. Looks more likely that I'll be going to one of these now - most probably Canada. I'm <slowly> looking through all the websites to compare them :roll:

I hate making decisions...I'm so bad at it :(

the u of T website is a bitch to figure your way around.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

ya I've been thinking of transferring to U of T because I'm starting to think I want to focus on politics instead of psychology (I'm doing a politics/psych joint major right nw) and Toronto has a great Politics prgram. So I've been trying to search the site but there isn't anything about deadlines or or anything for transferring, except for how to convert credits.

It's one of the more difficult university websites to navigate through. Go look at the website for my school, and it's like night and day lol

this website may be somewhat more helpful jim if you haven't already taken a look at it. i found that the best way to get most of the information i needed was by contacting the school directly through e-mail or phone. they were also able to send some information through the mail.

http://www.artsandscience.utoronto.ca/

if it helps at all, i can find some info for you as well by going to the registrar's office here.
