McGill, WPI and IIT-Chicago are very different universities.

Look at the web site to find the distribution requirements for WPI. You will find, for example, that you are not required to take one humanities course per term.

McGill likely emphasizes theory more than WPI and likewise WPI likely emphasizes design more than McGill.

One downside of McGill if you want to work in the US as an international student is getting a visa. If you want to do graduate school in the US, this should not be an issue.

Starting salaries are probably higher at WPI. Though if you compare engineering salaries at McGill with engineering salaries at WPI, they should be comparable.
