Let me reveal this interesting fact about studying pre-university in the United Kingdom. If you're Vietnamese, you usually only need to pay half of your tuition fees while other Asian students have to pay full fees or get very few % of scholarships, no matter they're brilliant or not.

What if I pretend to be Viet? I'm Chinese so it's not like there's a difference in appearance.

I never said it was a lot of money Aboo . Actually I only know because I know someone going there.

Mark: Yes that is what they are implying. Sounds good doesn't it? Hehe.

moneyfaery: Haha, see if you can fake a Viet passport or something

Fake? I would never...

Back on topic: U of Toronto, U of Waterloo, McGill, Queen's, and McMaster are good Canadian universities. Waterloo is especially popular for its co-op (or internship?) and math/computing/engineering.

You can just try to look seriously around China Town in the UK, cause usually bad people when they stole passports, they would sell them for nearly 3000 GBP. Lucky you if you could find the Viet one that looks like you, please don't make fake one, JK.

In Canada, there are obviously McGill, UBC, U of T etc.

I'd like to pimp out some Ontario unis .

University of Waterloo: co-op program is one of the first of it's kind in the whole world..excellent program for engineering/maths/accounting/actuarial science

Queen's University: they own a castle in England (Herstmonceux)! and you could apply to study abroad..mostly arts/law/commerce students do this. Excellent program for commerce (very tough to get into), engineering and life sciences.

McMaster University: has it's own hospital and medical program. It's very unique because you don't need to write an MCAT to get into their med program. And they have their own pre-med program (Health Science) which is very tough to get into.

University of Western Ontario: great business program (Richard Ivey School of Business). Lots of people also go there for their biomedical science program.

York University: great business program (Schulich)..lots of future accountants go there.

University of Guelph: great veterinary medicine (DVM) program..very difficult to get into, only 100 Canadian students and 5 international students are accepted each year.
