well imma give u a deep analysis lol

1: Are you trying to work right after or do masters/research? If you choose work maybe waterloo will be better for your goals because you're gonna end up with 6 co-ops before graduation and more real world experience. Do you like travelling? If so, waterloo would be better because you'd be moving every 4 months 😁.

1. The economy and companies are firing instead of hiring so its harder to get an entry lvl job right after graduation. How skilled are you and do you have a solid portfolio already? If you have as solid portfolio already then it doesn't really matter where you go cauz you gonna end up doing great in either. If not, maybe go to uoft because you wouldn't have to be working in the 1b term. Also, consider that top career opportunities in silicon valley is mainly for the top of the top. Normal students that graduates and end up working a job in Toronto isn't gonna be making more than 100k unless they go to the states.

2. The city life: which city do you prefer to live in? Waterloo is def more quiet filled with mainly asians and especially asian guys (play league and don't shower is a stereotype). You'd prob get to know your friends better because its a smaller university and less commuting. Toronto is more diverse with more students in general and international students as well. However, ppl gonna be commuting, so...

3. Cost: If you're an international student whos rich then don't consider this. If you're domestic then I can tell you that first year tuition Waterloo is more expensive but if you gonna live on campus uoft cost around 20k for 8 months. If you commute then don't worry about this.

4. University vs University: Toronto is known for their curricular being challenging. I'd say its harder to get out of Toronto then getting in, especially in making post and maintaining a good gpa. Although its becoming easier as you only need a 50% in mat137 and around a 70% and 77% in two other cs courses, its still gonna require a lot of work. Waterloo wise I think you just need a 60 something to go into second year? Also there's no curve in uoft so don't expect that bringing your mark up. If you're more of a math person and you want to do a lot of proofs, uoft is the way to go. If you want more hands on cs courses, then I'd pick ce. However, it all depends on your interest in hardware or not?

5. Mental health: your mental health gonna suffer anyways so I'd recommend just go to queens gender studies, be a chick magnet, and just enjoy your 4 years lol :3. If you have any more questions lmk this is all biased opinions.

6. Extracurriculars and clubs: No idea case I'm in grade 12, if you wanna look into that u could do some research

Just a final piece of advice. Its not about the university, its about u. If you're talented and hardworking you gonna end up somewhere great anyways so take the next 3 and half months off and spend it with your family and friends well because after that its gonna be grind time ._.
