Canadianmother,

I would not recommend for your son to switch schools. Colleges just want their students to take the most vigorous courses, If your son does take the advanced classes, that’s great, he is on the right road. But the choice lies ultimately with your son; you should ask him if he would like to switch schools and get his views on things. If he wants to, just comply and help him transition. However if he doesn’t want to switch, don’t make him switch schools, it will just make him resentful and miss his old school.

U of T and Waterloo are definitely the best schools for engineering and computer science. I know Waterloo gives excellent job prospects, myy cousin went to there for computer/math double major, he was able to do coop at IBM and he now works for Microsoft.
