University of Toronto or Victoria for Masters of Public Administration?

U of T has the prestigious reputation and perhaps better access to experts in a wide variety of subject areas, but Victoria has a guaranteed 12 month internship and I already know I'll have full funding if I go there (full funding = all tuition paid, and first semester of housing paid).



Victoria is also much nicer in the winter compared to Toronto. I'm assuming Victoria probably isn't as busy or pretentious either.



Both are expensive to live in, but tuition is more at U of T.University of Toronto or Victoria for Masters of Public Administration?
While you have to make the decision, because it is your life, I would choose U of T. The value of the degree fromm there is about double that from Victoria. Remember, Public Administration is all about image. Start out with the best image you can get, and build from there.
