US vs. Canada Summer School: Is It Worth Applying?

[Sean1218]

Does anyone know if a similar system is in place in Canada? or is it worth it to apply and just go to the US during summers?

I don't know about a similar system in Canada, but REUs are only for American citizens. You'd have to find an internship program not funded by the NSF.

Yup, my favorite physics prof. is from Canada and she mentioned a bunch of time show she did a similar thing at Waterloo. Check around because REUs are for U.S. citizens only.
