Waterloo. No contest... even more if for undergrad.

^ ^ Disregard that comment. It is engineering-specific and holds no relevance to their respective architecture schools. And if you didnt figure it out, its a bot.

NS isn't a bot, he's actually a regular here, who is an architect (not an engineer) so his advice is more than valid.

Did my undergrad at Waterloo, which is better (the co-op program is amazing, and UofT doesn't have a real architecture undergrad). But I personally think that UofT has a better masters program (better faculty, better resources, better connections, plus you don't have to be stuck in yucky Cambridge). They're just different. Don't be lazy though, do your research. What are you looking for in a school?

I am just looking for a good university with a good reputation that would best prepare me to become an architect, so I actually have no idea as each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. I just thought it's be better to ask the opinions of other people and see what they have on the matter.

Thanks for the backup Cd.arch but Ben flagged a post that was promptly deleted, his comment was not at me.
ClaireMk, UofT's masters is a glorified 4th year design studio with little professional practice. Sure, the big city has it's sex appeal but that's rather subjective.
AWS, you'd be a fool to pass up on Canada's best, and most demanding, undergrad. Hardly any of those who apply to loo make it in. You'll have plenty of time to pick a grad school later.

Go for Waterloo!
Are you applying for undergrad, or grad? Did you get your acceptances yet?

Hey! Just checking in to let you know about this 'vital statistics on Canadian schools of architecture' feature that we did at the ACSA recently. It'll give you a few points of comparison.
