<p>D1 went to BC, we paid full ride, she loved every part of it…D2 went to Trin, we paid full ride, she loved every part of it. Both excellent schools, do you want big (2200 freshmen at BC vs 620 at Trin?) Is the city important to you? Both have great restaurants nearby. The financial aspect speaks for itself. Are you ready to take on debt? Its hard to pass up a BC acceptance but think long and hard about the stress on your family.
Both of my D are employed full time and are now financially independent (yay!) through excellent contacts and career counseling, so that is an equal. Food excellent at both, sports excellent at BC & pretty fun (squash etc0 at Trin. All good people! Good luck!</p>
