I am glad that you like it.

I don't know why you are trying to make it about Waterloo. You are totally missing the point of the discussion which is about UofT v. Harvard (as silly as it sounds).

It is not very productive to start a dick measuring contest on "which school is the best". Especially when the answer is obvious \joke.

More seriously, I know a pretty large sample of people going to UofT. Sorry if you felt like I was denigrating your school. I am sure that there is a lot of very bright student going to UofT.

I was talking about how the administration treat its students and the general atmosphere and malaise on-campus. Does that "TA strike" ring a bell? Everyone I know going to UofT is complaining about the heavy workload, poor school spirit and over-competitiveness of their peers (refusing to share course notes, spreading out fake informations on a test and other horror stories).

Also 50/60 per class for CS electives is definitely a lot of people. Most CS upper year courses at Harvard and Waterloo are ~10.

To compare the cities of Waterloo and Toronto is almost as silly as comparing Harvard and UofT. Obviously Toronto is better although being in a smaller, very connected community like Waterloo obviously has its perks. Let's just agree to disagree.
