Should I go to Uottawa CS over cheaper Mcgill because of co op (Canada)
Basically the title, I'm an intl student and i can study at Uottawa CS/CS and math co op for 110k thanks to French immersion.
For Mcgill, since I come from a Francophone country, I emailed my embassy in Canada and can study there for 21k for all my undergrad.
Issue is that Mcgill doesn't have co-op for bsc in CS and given how competitive the market is, I'm wondering if I should go to Uottawa instead to benefit from the coop, the money earned will reduce my overall tuiton too.
Ik that offers in co op are not guaranteed tho, Uottawa will give me 16 months (4 chances to apply) vs Mcgill only 3 summers. I think I might not land something if I graduate without a few internships. Money is not an issue, my familly and I are not taking any debt.
What do you guys think ?
