Please offer advice on my situation! Should I live in Edmonton, Alberta? Or...

[Evan Ferneski]

...Montreal, Quebec? I am 18, speak both french and english, and am entering into Engineering. Here are my reasons for wanting to live in Montreal:

*it is my dream place. I grew up here. I love it!
*cost of living is slightly lower than edmonton
*I still have some friends and family that live there
*I could go to mcgill university!

And here is why edmonton can be a better choice

*it is only 5 hours away from my parents and immediate family
*i have some very close friends going there
*all those who enter engineering in AB take the same first year, so I have an extra year to decide how I want to specialize. If I went to montreal, I would have to decide immediately
*no expensive plane tickets back and forth to alberta during the summer/ christmas
*the university of alberta is recognized as the second best university in canada for engineering
*there is a much higher chance that i would get a job with the hours i want

So you see, emotions aside, edmonton might be the better choice. But I have always wanted to return to montreal! it is my dream place. I am there on vacation right now and I can't imagine going back to AB!

So? Go to school in Edmonton and get a job in Montreal when you are done. Problem solved. lol

Live in Edmonton and visit Montreal. It's not really a great city to be in for long amounts of time.
