Having graduated from McGill University (Montreal), I can say with
confidence that most American's have no idea of the quality of the
Universities in Canada. More than once I have been asked:
"So McGill, that is good school, right?" harumph!
Why is it that Canadian seem to have a relatively complete knowledge of the
schools in the US, and not vice versa?
Of course, having to shovel our way to classes did cut down on the actual
instruction time :-)
That is, when we weren't out clubbing some baby Harp seals :-))
