Schools Studying Physics at Concordia University

AI Thread Summary
Studying physics at Concordia University can be a worthwhile investment, especially if paired with a minor in math. While Concordia is recognized for its engineering programs, there is a notable difference in reputation between Concordia and McGill University. It is generally advised to pursue studies at the highest-ranked institution available, as this can enhance educational and career opportunities. Ultimately, the decision should align with personal interests and career goals in the field of physics.

I applied to Concordia University and Mcgill University in Montreal, Quebec. I already got an acceptance letter from Concordia

I was wondering if it's a good idea to study physics at Concordia. I don't really know much about universities to begin with nor do I care that much but if I'm going to be investing my time and energy in studying, is it worthwhile to study physics as a major with math as a minor at this university?

I know my question is vague and you probably never heard of Concordia university before but hopefully some university nut out there may be able to give me some insight.

Thanks

I think they have a good engineering program, so maybe they are strong in that area. I am sure you know that there is big gap between Concordia and McGill. It's hard to compare. Of course it is worthwhile to try your best at the best university you can get into.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
