Will you be paying tuition rates for Canadian residents or as a foreign student?

York has a very good business program, but don’t know much about its comp. science. As a matter of fact, one can do a BA or B. Com in business. Admission to Schulich school of Business (B. Com) is very competitive. Also, York has a separate campus solely dedicated to liberal arts. As a side note, next year York will have a subway connecting its suburban campus with downtown Toronto.

Waterloo is quite well known for CS & co-ops. From a career stand point, Waterloo makes a lot of sense. City of Toronto is about 70-90 minutes by car.

UBC has a beautiful campus, and if you like to work in east Asia, it has a better name recognition.

You may also want to explore both McGill & Toronto.

Toronto does not have co-ops, but provides opportunities to interview for internships. Depending upon introductory (lower division) classes, lectures are very large (500- 1000 students), but tend to thin out (100-200) at higher divisions.
