The discussion revolves around the choice of undergraduate programs in physics and mathematics at McMaster University, Queen's University, and the University of Western Ontario. Participants explore the perceived advantages of each institution and factors influencing the decision-making process for prospective students.
Participants generally agree that the three schools are on par with each other, but there are differing opinions on the importance of personal comfort and preferences in making a choice. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the merits of applying to U of T.
Participants express subjective views based on personal experiences and preferences, which may not capture all factors influencing the decision-making process. There are no definitive comparisons or assessments of program quality or outcomes.

Yeah that makes sense! Thank you!Choppy said:I don't think there's any major advantage of one of the others. They are all great schools on par with each other, in my opinion.
Given that, you're in a position to make a decision based on your own personal preferences. Is it going to be cheaper to go to one over another? Do you think you'll excel in one place? Is there one program that's particularly attractive to you? I would aim for the one where it seem like you're the most comfortable at because, at the end of the day, what will matter is how much you learn and how well you perform.
When I visited I didn't quite feel as comfortable with the school as a whole as I did with the other three.JonnyG said:Why didn't you apply to U of T?
