Is it really cheaper to go to college in Canada than in US?

Answer 1

It certainly can be, depending upon the school and program you're interested in and what campuses (if you're a U.S. citizen) within your own state you're comparing the Canadian school's tuition to. Be cautious about the terminology. The terms 'college' and 'university' are not interchangable in Canada like in the United States. You want to look at Canadian 'universities' for a B.S. degree while Canadian 'colleges' are typically more like a 'junior' or 'community' college in the U.S. Most major Canadian universities are recogonized by the U.S. Department of Education, enabling students to apply for the Stafford Student Loans and parents to apply for Parents Plus loans. There are also tax credits available for qualifying U.S. families with students attending school in Canada. For an 'international degree' it's the best deal out there, especially with the Canadian and U.S. dollar about equal right now, and with it costing U.S. citizens about $1.41 to buy a Euro. As for educational value, Canada's universities are ranked right up there and many are world renowned. Actually, four of Canada's universities are recognized as among the top 100 in the world.

Answer 2

The prices of the top Canadian schools for foreign students are cheaper than the out-of-state tuition at comparable quality American public universities. There are a handful of very cheap, very good schools in the USA, like the military academics, Olin College, and Cooper Union, but they are rare.

Answer 3

It is if you are Canadian, but not if you are from the U.S. For example, I compared UBC's undergraduate Commerce program with the same at the University of Washington, since they aren't too far away. The University of Washington charges $6, 385 per year for tuition alone. UBC charges about $4,000 for Canadian students, but $22,000 for others. Obviously, you would do better at the public school in the U.S. than the public school in Canada.

Answer 4

i guess it would depend on the college just like herein the US different schools cost different amounts. Im not sure but if you have to pay out of state fees like canadian students pay here in the US it will defanitely be more expensive then going to school in your own state.

Find a few colleges and check out the price and convert it...
