Hey everyone,
I am in grade 12 in Canada and will be applying to universities soon and am conflicted between which engineering program to go to. I'm trying to decide between the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo. It seems that UfT has a better world-wide reputation as it has the 8th best engineering program in the world, but Waterloo has a co-op program where you are able to do internships at 4 -5 different companies while studying there.To be fair, UfT does offer an internship, but it is only 1 internship that lasts for 12-16 months straight at one company.
My question is, what is more important when you are being hired for a job, the reputation of the university from where you got your degree, or the experience that you have gained through working with different companies?
