Americans Study in Canada to Save $$$
American high school students are increasingly applying to Canadian universities for the lower cost and higher quality education. The Globe and Mail reported that this past academic year 9000 Americans studied at Canadian universities, a number that has tripled over the last decade.
The Canadian university experience manifests above and beyond French fries with gravy, hockey, and slightly different spelling. Forget about low tuition, many Canadian universities are world class ranked academic institutions. At many Canadian universities, you can have a valuable college experience with the advantage of a quality education. There’s a reason why McGill University students brandish Harvard as “America’s McGill”.
Tuition at Canadian universities for American students saves American students tens of thousands of dollars. American students might also want to factor in the cheaper living expenses of major Canadian cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver compared to the high prices of their American counterparts. Just compare costs of tuition and living expenses at Boston University and McGill University and see why so many American students have followed their nose towards the wafting odor of fries covered with melted cheese and gravy.
