As a Canadian, this seems ridiculous to me. I paid $8,500/year in tuition for my undergraduate degree (Mathematics and Computer Engineering, Queen's University) and $7,000/year in tuition for my MASc (Computer Engineering, University of Toronto), although my stipend and graduate scholarships more than covered that (~$20,000/year). I wonder how many American students go North? Even with international student fees, Canadian schools are cheaper, and offer one of the highest-quality educations in the world.
- zxexz 12y agoFor a lot of people I know that considered going to Canada for uni, the inability to work was a major factor.
- refurb 12y agoInternational student fees are higher than you think at Canadian universities. Instead of $5-7K/yr, they are often $18-20K/year. You can go to Berkeley or University of Michigan for less than that ($10-13K/yr).
- theatraine 12y agoIsn't that only in-state tuition? If you don't already live in the same state as the school that you'd like to go to, then you're going to have to pay much more. Edit: some students are starting to do it: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/06/25/americans-heading-to-canadian-colleges/2456283/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/06/25/america... Also work permits are readily available for international students after 6 months of study: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus.asp http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus.asp
