maybe I’m just lucky, or ahead of the curve

This recent article from Canada’s Globe and Mail is spot on,

Libby MacCarthy had never been to Canada when she applied to Dalhousie University at the suggestion of a friend. After a campus visit during a cold snap in April, the Maine native was still undecided about the merits of a Canadian education.

But when the offer from her top U.S. choice arrived without a promise of financial aid, the annual $25,000 (U.S.) difference in cost made up her mind.

“Canadian universities are like hidden gems,” said the 21-year-old, who starts her fourth year in Halifax in September. “A lot of them are Ivy League-quality schools and they are just a lot less expensive.”
