If immigration after graduation matters, compare work permits, visa rules and job markets carefully. The best school on paper may not be the best life decision. I would choose based on program quality, cost, co-op/internship access and what country you realistically want to work in.

Answers & Discussion
In the U.S., state schools can be a great value if you qualify for in-state tuition. A famous private university may not be worth huge debt unless the financial aid is strong or the program has a clear payoff. Prestige is nice, but monthly loan payments are real.
Canada can be more affordable depending on the school and whether you are domestic or international, but do not assume it is cheap. Housing in cities like Toronto and Vancouver can be brutal. Compare total cost, not just tuition.
