University talk. Ignore.

flyingteapotI'm heading off for Ottawa tommorrow to see my darling. She's moved to a new house and I'm just ecstatic to see her. I've waited 4 months for this!
Oh right, university season's come upon us at my college. People are freaking out (mainly me---I'm a whiny bastard when I'm stressed. My poor friends had to endure). I've narrowed it down: it's either UofT, OttawaU, UBC (Stretch since poor pris has no moolah), Concordia, or McGill.
Hmm. Any opinions? If you go to any of these, care to share?
I would LOVE to go to UBC. No kidding. Vancouver seems like an awesome place.
U of T... Sure, I've got some relatives there (Meaning less $$$) but the place makes me claustrophobic (maybe it's just the scarborough area). One thing I know for sure is I'm gonna be splurging like crazy in Bangla town for my mom's constant demands for new saree or salwar styles. Omg, I don't even wanna think about shipping costs. And erm, living with your stereotypical gossipy bengali aunt can be somewhat nauseating.
OttawaU. Two advantages: I get to live with my darling (if that's ok with her though) and two, costs aren't that and parents aren't too far away. Yes, I'm a parasite.
I'm leaning towards McGill and Concordia now for the close proximity to my house and er, low fees (Only $3000 people!)
So far what I've heard about McGill from a close friend who's doing her second year is that it's one party party school and there's no seating available for studying and the professors are pompous. And that everything is falling apart. Understandable.
Concordia. This, I don't know much about except according to a friend, it has a high schoolish feel. I'm not exactly wanting to relive high school. But whatever, as long as I can get into it for my program choice, I'm happy.
I feel a headache coming up. Oh life, why must you be such a cruel b*tch?
