Civil engineering - carleton or Ottawa U?

[thili1111]

What university is best for civil Engineering? Carleton university or university of Ottawa?
I have also been accepted to Co-op at both universities. So which one has a better Co-op program?

Carleton University, hands down. Don't even think about going to Ottawa U for engineering. Even if they offer you double.

Carleton is known for two things right now. Engineering ( Expecially the aerospace program ) and Journalism. They're ranked much higher than Ottawa U academically.

Some of the people on TSN are Carleton journalism grads ( Fun fact ).

If you manage to get a civi degree, Carleton has a really good co-op program which will net you a stable high paying job within the city.

Plus Carleton has the best basketball team in the country. Quote from wiki :

The men's Raven's basketball team has won the national championship nine times between 2002 and 2013 with five consecutive titles (between 2002–03 and 2006–07) surpassing the University of Victoria at the top of the all-time list.

Answer: Carleton U
Reason:
1. Way better Engineering social community - Trust me, you needs friends!
2.
OttawaU is known for its French programs.
If you learn your engineering in french...Im sorry but it's just simply less practical than getting your Engineering degree in English
even if you don't learn it in french, think about it...half of the prof's first language is french...they prefer french students!
Most companies in this world that will hire you are NOT in Quebec or France
