<p>Both these schools have good reputations. From Calgary, but didn’t attend the U of C because it didn’t offer the program I wanted… U of A didn’t either. </p>
<p>At least in Calgary, it seems a majority of students went to U of A thinking it was more prestigious. I think at the root that rational was driven more by a want to get out of Calgary… and Edmonton was the most attainable chance. </p>
<p>One benefit of both of these schools is that, depending on your dream career, there is a good chance you’ll be in the epicenter. (If you want to be a petroleum engineer, starting out in Alberta is not a bad choice).</p>
