I can answer your question with regards to U of T. The applied math specialist would be top notch. You can’t double major in computer science as there is no applied math major to combine it with and computer engineering is another faculty altogether, so no engineering for you. You could major in math and computer science or take a computer science minor however. U of T has done away with its 3 year degrees. You may be able to do courses in the summer with would allow you to graduate before your 4 years are up though. U of T will be about half the price of the other two universities.

Toronto is an extremely diverse city, definitely more so than the locations of the other two universities, and you should have no trouble finding other students from your home country or city. The St. George campus (I’m assuming that’s where you got in? ) is surrounded by many ethnic restaurants and grocery stores. I would expect that any homesickness would be less there.

Do you have family in any of the locations?
