Hi,I want to do computer science. I got acceptance from UofT Scarborough(non co-op), Ryerson university(with co-op) and university of Ottawa(with co-op). I want to study with co-op. Which is my best bet? (Can i change over to co-op in UofT in the 2nd year if I have good score?)

2)Can I shift to Waterloo university in the 2nd year if I have good score? I have heard it offers the best co-op!

3)People say UofT does not give good CGPA easily. Is it true? I can go to Ryerson University and get good CGPA,then I can shift to Waterloo. Which should be better? Ryerson or UofT?

Waterloo has arguably the best co-op programs of any school in Canada. This is especially true in engineering and computer science. If you are looking to transfer into Waterloo second year, a B average in first year university should suffice. They will put less pressure on you to attain higher grades because it's considerably more difficult than a high school curriculum. As for U of T vs. Ryerson, I'd go to Ryerson because their standards seem to be lower so you'd have an easier time getting higher grades, and Waterloo won't care whether you attended U of T or Ryerson, they will be more concerned about grades.
