   As usual, only the three biggest names get a mention. The U of
  Toronto and the U of Waterloo are certainly fine schools but I think
  that the University of Alberta would certainly have to be in the top
  5.  Facilities are about as good as any large University (except
  that we don't have a Cray like U of T).
     
   I know several people taking Computing degrees at McGill and from
  talking to them it is my opinion that McGill is riding on a
  reputation formed years ago, in other departments.
