<p>I’ll wager on my son’s intellect 99 times out of 100, but his scholastic performance to date didn’t net him sufficient merit to get even close to Dal’s $8K / year in tuition (notwithstanding an ACT score in the 93rd percentile). Nor were his grades going to garner admission to U of T, McGill or UBC.</p>
<p>That said, the cost is just a bonus. Dal’s resources for marine biology and environmental science are excellent, as is their Centre for Foreign Policy – all areas which expatSon loves. While I’d rather see him at a LAC, I really can’t fault his decision.</p>
