Hey guys,

I got my acceptances and I'm down to picking between

1) Ryerson - Business Management

2) Waterloo - Honours Arts and Business (Coop)

I dunno which one to go for so I thought i'd look for some input. To be honest, I don't really know much about the waterloo program.

For Waterloo, I applied indicating I'd major in economics. I figure I'd do something like major in economics and specialize in finance. Waterloo also has the coop.

I thought i'd try get some outside input on the pro's and con's of the respective programs and which one you guys think would be better. Any advice would help lol

If you don't know much about it then it's important to search on your own (on uwaterloo.ca) before making any decisions. You can't choose a university if you don't know what the program has to offer. It's important to also consider co-op because it will open up more doors for you.

You'd be better off at Ryerson for your own good ;)

Yeah I did alot of research on the waterloo website and have a solid understanding of what the program entails, but unlike Ryerson, I havent met or heard of many Waterloo Arts and Business graduates on which i can base how valuable the degree actually is when your looking for employment. I just want to see what my prospects would be like after graduation.
