870.0. "MBA PROGRAM" by DAIV01::TONNY () Mon Nov 07 1994 05:30

Hi,

I'm thinking to take MBA program in Canada. I found list Universities that 
have MBA program. Some of them are :

   - The University of British Columbia
   - The University of Manitoba
 
Is it true that Vancouver the warmest city in Canada ?

Can someone give me an idea how much is costs for a foreign student, for a 
year, at a Canadian University (thinking about an MBA) (in US$).
    
Could anyone give me some info. about that universities ?
    
Thank you very much for any help,
    
      
regards

870.1University of Western OntarioKAOFS::W_GILROYMon Nov 07 1994 16:098
    The University of Western Ontario is a world renowned MBA university.
    Here is their phone number give them a call (519)661-2111.
    Contact the Busness School. 
    This years International enrolment fee is $9,600 Canadian.
    The largest advantage to U.W.O is its location, low crime, cheaper
    housing, 2 hours form Detroit, 2 hours to Toronto, and London is the
    most beautiful city in Ontario.

re. -1

> London is the most beautiful city in Ontario.

Yeah....right.  

Of course, there is a slight chance that I wouldn't be so biased 
against London/Western if I wasn't a Waterloo grad...

    re -1
    
    since when is being only 2 hours from either Toronto or Detroit a 
    good thing
    
    London ...most beautiful...???
    
    Ah yes Bill I know what you're talking about.
    There is nothing quite like the joy of racing pig dung down the Thames.
    Or the joyfull feeling you get when the swat team cleans out yet
    another crack house.
    
    Kind of makes me want to move ...............NOT

Hi,

Thank you very much for the information.

I will think about The University of Western Ontario.
I plan to apply to more than 1 university.

  - The University of Western Ontario 
  - The University of British Colombia
  - The University of Manitoba

Maybe anyone can suggest me another university ?

>This years International enrolment fee is $9,600 Canadian.
 Hmm...not cheap, how about living cost in London/year ?

>The largest advantage to U.W.O is its location, low crime, cheaper
>housing, 2 hours form Detroit, 2 hours to Toronto, and London is the

 It seem a great city.

    	You get what you pay for. Do you want a superior education or not?
    
    I do not have housing prices for you but it is a lot less then Toronto
    or B.C. prices.
870.9Wilfrid Laurier UniversityTROOA::BROOKSTue Nov 08 1994 15:376
    I'm not sure, but I believe that Wilfrid Laurier University in
    Waterloo, Ontario  (an hour or so from both London and Toronto) has a 1
    year executive MBA program.  If interested, I will pursue more info.

870.11Another corner of OntarioKAOFS::C_STEWARTIt was like that when I got here.Wed Nov 09 1994 11:0318
    
    
    	Queen's University at Kingston, Ontario has an MBA program
    	but is not subsidized at all by the government. The full fee
    	is carried by the enrolled students and I believe the cost
    	I heard was around $20,000 per year.  Even at that stiff cost,
    	they are not having any problem filling up the program.
    	They are attracting students whose tuition is being paid by
    	the company they work for.
    
    	Kingston is 100 km from Ottawa and has the nickname of "Limestone
    	city" due to the presence of really old limestone buildings 
    	everywhere. Kingston is also over 300 years old (one of the oldest
    	in Canada).   Warm it ain't, however. :^)

    	(Artsci '81, who had many a frigid walk to class thanks to the
    	winds off Lake Ontario).
870.12No regret with my choice.HGOVC::JEFFLUIfrom the cold, white NorthThu Nov 10 1994 00:0513
    Why corner(s) of Ontario? Try the heart of Ontario.
    
    U. of Toronto: 0 hours from Toronto.
    
    Probably does not have as much history as UWO, but if you want to do it
    part time, I would assume there are a lot more jobs in Toronto than
    London.
    
    If you want take a couple of years off work and enjoy life and prepare
    for your next career, Toronto (and Montreal) can provide a much better
    cultural scene than just the local student pubs.

Does McGill University have an MBA program? I beieve they do and the rents in
Montreal are far more attractive than in Toronto.
