I'm thinking history/polisci/global development studies as a major (going to law school someday hopefully woo), but I'm not 100% sure yet! I change my mind every so often... how about you?

Congrats everyone! I am finishing up my third year as a history major/classics minor, so can definitely answer questions about those programs. Are you a broke student? I've earned over $500 in amazon giftcards from Swagbucks since August, 2011. I haven't had to pay for a single textbook out of pocket since joining, and I have money left over for coffee!

Why should you come to Queen's? Ask yourself this, do you just want to go to some school or do you want to come to a world-renown institution that is more than a school, a university that feels like home. If it's the latter choose Queen's. Queen's Life Sciences '15 - Feel free to ask me any questions

I'm satisfied regardless, having a university education is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

torn between queen and schulich. Here is my impression of the two: Queen: exceedingly expensive tuition = around 18 grand a year good alumni network workload is not too harsh good for finance a mostly live on campus school small town university party school the girls are hot hot!! very racist towards minorities?!? Schulcih inexpensive tuition = 6 grand a year good for accounting workload is tougher than queens commuter school diverse student body located in the "hood"(we are talking jane and finch) reputation is not as good as queens not a very safe campus, shootings, murders happening every few months shoddy reputation I am leaning towards schulich because the tuition is cheaper and toronto is my city. I dont like commuting, because that means I have to wake up at 5 in the morning and take 1 train, 4 different buses through the most dangerous hoods in toronto....Well, then again considering I am south asian, I dont want to go to queen and be a target of racism. Help me out guys, I think schulich makes more sense for me, but the partying and girls at queens is appealing too. I just wish the tuition was cheaper. "Rock the most expensive clothes

Dude, don't fret about going to Queen's just because you're a minority. I'm Asian myself and when I visited the campus, every person I spoke to was nice to me. There are also a number of Asian students at Queen's as well so you won't be the only one - trust me. If you truly want to attend Queen's, don't let your ethnicity hold you back. 1013BrickSquad wrote:torn between queen and schulich. Here is my impression of the two:
