I just found out I'm getting $6000 worth of scholarships and bursaries from the University of Waterloo! 2000 dollar entrance scholarship, 1000 scholarship, and 3000 dollars in bursaries!


UofT (UTSC) is giving me $1500 for my over 90% average.=/


Now I'm totally confused. I was set on UTSC but I can really use the money (I come from a "poor" family) I could be getting from waterloo.

Should I go for Waterloo's Arts and Business Coop (psychology and business) or UofT Psychology life sciences?

My ultimate goal: I'm not sure yet. To be a forensic psychologist, and human resources is my "back up plan".


Which should I choose?

University of Toronto Psychology Bsc Degree (prestige, close to home)

or

University of Waterloo Arts and Business Degree (Arts being Psychology) (Coop, I'm getting more money for first year)


Sciences aren't my strengths but I was planning on working extra hard at UofT for that Bachelor of science degree.
At university of waterloo, I'd be getting an arts degree.

The scholarships and bursaries are for University of Waterloo though. I don't think you can carry them over to the U of T. Then there is the expense of living off campus in Toronto. Do you have the funds for that? I imagine living expenses would be fairly cheaper in Waterloo.

What you 'go for' is entirely up to you, but if you eventually settle on forensics, then the courses at Waterloo would be your best bet,

Yes and after the first couple of years at any college ( even local Jr colleges : for those reading this that don't get all of the scholarships) are fine. After a couple of years, you transfer to another college if their program is better.
