Edinburgh Partner Schools: Toronto

The Schulich school of Business was ranked 25th by the FT and the Economist and it is one of the top graduate programs available in Canada. The school is situated in Toronto, Canada, and it is its financial capital. Within close proximity to three large financial centres of Toronto, Boston and New York it is not surprising that one of Schulich strengths is in the area of Finance. Students from Edinburgh are expected to take four courses.

From the Edinburgh website

It was established in 1966 and now has strong links with the business
community and is recognized for innovation and an internationally diverse
student body. The learning approach matches that of Edinburgh with individual
and teamwork focussing on real life application, and learning from interaction
with international peers.
Climate

From Lonely Planet:
Compared to the rest of Canada, Toronto has a relatively mild weather pattern.
Summer temperatures average 20-23°C (68-73°F) and can get up to 30°C (86°F).
Autumn and spring tend toward clear, warm sunny days and winter, though the
temperature can plummet quickly, is on average a manageable -6°C (21°F). Big
snowstorms happen two or three times per winter.

Costs
Current exchange rates for the pound are £1.00 to CAN$2.14. The cost of living is suimilar to the USA so british visitors will find that their money goes far.
