candian university v.s american university

I know people have debated much about the prestige and undergraduate experience between American and Candian schools. I respect opinions for and against canadian schools. I am accepted to queen's and dickinson( small LAC). Which schools has better ACADEMICS? I know i can get great education in either school. Student life seems similiar in both schools except that there are more clubs in queen's university. Which school produces more people to go to top graduate schools like MIT and Stanford??????? especially in SICENCE field?

Please share your opinions and thoughts.

my friend's son just visited Queens and he really likes it there. His father is a physics professor and he also likes Queens. It's a small community. Sorry can't answer the other questions.

Canada doesn't really have any comprehensive LACs, mostly only large universities. At least at my school (University of Toronto), the Greek scene isn't that big, I think less than 10% of people are a part of a frat/sorority.
