Boston College vs University of Toronto for finance

[thumper1]

The cost of living in Boston isn’t cheap either, if that is what you are thinking.

What exactly does this student want to do in “finance”? There are many different jobs related to finance.

Where does this student want to live after college? Not that it matters now because people DO move around in their jobs.

But you will have significant savings to help him get established IF he does not get the high paying job he anticipates…if he goes to Toronto.

@Catcherinthetoast do you have any thoughts on this?

Perhaps reading this thread will give you some ideas:
