Depends on the program. Concordia's Molson School of Business is superior, as is their engineering department. McGill has the medical and legal graduate programs that Concordia doesn't.

And your guru Gad Saad teaches at Concordia.

Also, you should never do your grad degree at the same school you took your undergrad degree. You should have applied to U of T.

It does depend on the program but reputationally, McGill is more highly regarded overall. That’s just a fact.

Law is not the same
 
And fyi I applied to all law schools west of the maritimes other than Saskatchewan and Windsor and got in to all. I chose UBC and clearly it worked out fine for me.
 
As a further aside, do you ever tire of telling people what they should have done?

Don't eat there, don't fly business, should have gone to diff school, why do that on a holiday, why pay $300 for jeans, why buy Canali suits, why pay 200 for a shirt etc.

People do what they like doing. You couldn't pay me enough to buy a RV but you like them so good on you.
 
$300 on jeans? How is that even possible? Do such things even exist?

And I've nothing against Canali. If I had a job that required me to wear a suit every day I wouldn't be buying the Moore's $249 special either. That, to me, is false economy. If you're wearing one daily and you're in the public eye as lawyers are, you need to look good and you need a suit that doesn't fall apart after the first dry cleaning. Canali is pricey but it's well made and will last.

Like you with Italian suits, I spend extra to buy fancier Italian coffee for the same reason. Life is too short to drink shitty Tim Horton swill.

And paying my gas, clothes, making my food, my parents loved me, what can I say

AND best reason, I don't meet Mrs Count if I live away as I met her law school, don't have Max, Lafayette or Jr.

Studies have shown that while we all believe in the romantic notion of a "one and only", we can actually be quite happy with any number of different partners. Had you gone to school elsewhere, you'd have met someone else and so would Mrs. Count. You'd both live your lives blissfully unaware that the other even existed. Maybe you would have hooked up with Bedard's mom and it would be you in that Hyundai commercial instead. Who knows?

Reputation. McGill was founded 204 years ago tomorrow (March 31st, 1821) while Concordia only celebrated its 50th anniversary a year ago (although Loyola College, which was merged with Sir George Williams College to form Concordia, was established in 1896 and had a stellar reputation as a Jesuit run school. I had a couple of profs who were Jesuit priests, in fact)

The one thing McGill had was endowments from old money. That's why every building on campus is named Molson, Bronfman, Redpath, etc. But again the nearly new Molson School of Business is at Concordia, not McGill because it's 2025 not 1925 and Concordia is no longer "raggedy ass U".

I went to Concordia because of Loyola, where my uncle had graduated from in 1964. It was located in NDG, near my grandparents house on Trenholme Avenue where my mom and uncle grew up and where many of my earliest memories originated. I felt at home there.

But I was not rich and not Protestant or Jewish so McGill held no appeal for me. It was only after I saw it up close when I realized that McGill was just as dilapidated and underfunded as every other Quebec English school and that the tuition there was pretty much the same as what I was paying. Since then I've always viewed McGill as somewhat fraudulent, riding on past glories like today's Habs.

Who wrote anything about one and onlys? I wouldn't trade what I have, doesn't mean I couldn't have been with someone else.

Yes but had you gone to law school out of town you'd never know what you now have. You'd have a completely different life that you also wouldn't trade once you had it.

So much of life is just random chance. If my dad's friend hadn't been in a car accident and hadn't been taken to St. Mary's Hospital and if the nurse who came into his room when my dad was visiting his friend hadn't been my mother I wouldn't be here now. If that ambulance goes to the Jewish General or the Queen Elizabeth instead of St. Mary's...

Random chance.
