Thank you Dimple2001 for providing great insight. She has offer from Purdue too, however since she wants to study BS Environmental Science the Purdue is low (51-100) in ranking . Purdue is highly ranked for Engineering though. Michigan course is ranked 10 . Berkley is 1.
What is your advise overall , should be US or Canada ? if we ignore the $ factor.

I was speaking with an Intern in my office and was told that he selected University of Waterloo mainly due to the co-op opportunities. He is from California and said that US doesnt has co-op system as part of their curriculum. Here in Canada, its a requirement on some streams to do co-op every year, and for some streams its in the 4th year. What do you guys think about that ? Does co-op play a big role ?

Not sure what is great in Univ. of Waterloo. IMO it is a hyped university. It is just a block of town. There is a circular road and the dept's are around it.
May be the professors are good but it lacks big time in off campus jobs and a vibrant nightlife. Waterloo downtown is full of drug addicts. Of course there are some good pockets where there are bars and it is crowded during weekends.
Hope Adam / FH can give an answer to it.
To the OP:
May be I am biased but my preference is for good US universities which are located in big cities like IIT (chicago).

You will be surprised TK if you knew that Google & Facebook come to U of W for campus recruitment.
For FB this is the only 3rd Univ it comes to after MIT & Stanford and the only one out of US and yes they do offer staring salaries of USD 90K + .
