In summary, the individual is deciding between three different programs for the following year: civil engineering at U of Waterloo, material engineering at McGill, and aviation management at Western Ontario. They are unsure about the job prospects for aviation management and are hoping for an international co-op experience. They have heard that Waterloo can be boring but has strong engineering and computer science programs, while Western is a good school with a lively city. They do not have any information about McGill.

Waterloo is supposedly really boring, but the engineering and comp sci programs are supposed to be really good.

I went to Western for math and I think it is a good school. The labs are pretty relaxed and programs are easy to get into if you are willing to put in the work. The city is also lively.

I have no clue about McGill. PM me if you have any more questions

my response would be that the decision ultimately depends on your personal interests and career goals. Each of these programs has its own unique strengths and opportunities, so it is important to carefully consider what you hope to achieve in your future career.

In terms of international experience, it is important to research each program's co-op opportunities and see if they offer international placements. This can be a valuable experience for personal and professional growth, and can also be beneficial for future job prospects.

Additionally, I would recommend reaching out to current students or alumni from each program to get a better understanding of their experiences and career outcomes. They can provide valuable insights and advice that can help inform your decision.

Ultimately, it is important to choose a program that aligns with your interests and future goals, and offers the opportunities and resources that will help you achieve them. Good luck with your decision!
