Ryerson: Mechanical Engineering BEng
University of Toronto: Physics and its Applications Hons BSc

Which would you pick?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Would you rather study engineering or physics? I'd personally pick UofT since I prefer physics and general sciences over engineering.
 
Are you really basing your decision on an online poll?
 
Im not basing my decision on an online poll, I have to look some stuff up and this could offer some information.
 
I would enjoy both equally. If I go to UofT then I figure I would either transfer to Mech if I don't like it, or double major, or get a masters. If I go to Ryerson then I'll get my BSc and then find work.
