Pete...make sure you have your birth certificate AND drivers license to cross the border. I'm about 2 hours from Waterloo (I think)...maybe closer even. You're welcome to bunk up here if / when you visit. And RIT is 1.5 hours in the other direction. Heck, you could stay here and visit both colleges in one trip. I'd recommend visiting as many as you can to make an educated (pun intended) decision.

Tracy, that would be awesome! Even if I don't get to stay with you guys, I'd definitely would like to meet up! I'm kinda making a list of schools to visit, I'll be going up to visit the NE schools probably in the end of March, so I'll give ya a call then. I'm just trying to get a list down of the schools I wanna visit...

So far...
1. Kettering (visited, LOVED it)
2. Cincinnati (visited as well, a little too big for me...)
3. U of Akron
4. Waterloo
5. RIT

Have you checked into admission requirements for American citizens at Canadian universities?

Yes, you really should check cause I know foreign exchange students who pay 4x what a Canadian student would pay.........that'* about $40,000 a year

I live in waterloo real close to the schools and from what I have heard from friends going there and what not I hear they are good schools. I know those schools bring LOTS of girls to this city

I was just down there yesterday, is only about a 1 hour drive@120km/h (give or take a few mins)
