McGill vs Concordia

replied Jun 21
Considering that money is a factor for me, but that I want to study an MBA in Canada in order to work there, what would be the best option? Would the extra cost of McGill's program pay off relatively soon, or is the quality of their program not that far off from a school like Concordia?
