I was accepted to both the University of Calgary's 3 year MArch program and Carleton's 3.5 year MArch program, and am trying to figure out which to accept.  

I've visited both schools and have spoken to grads from both programs, but wanted to get a bit more feedback. Below is a list of assumptions i've made made based on the information I've gathered so far. 

CALGARY 

• more work on computers / digital visualizations, less on emphasis on 'traditional' skills like hand drawing, model making etc. 
• great material and shop lab 
• strong environmental / sustainability focus 
• great exchange programs (Barcelona, Melbourne or the option to set up your own) 
• lesser known "young" program (which makes me nervous because I'd like to work abroad and or else where in Canada, and want my education recognized) 
• more emphasis on traditional 'buildable work' 
• Calgary isn't the most inspirational city, and with the majority of the development funding is coming from more 'conservative' types. ie less opportunity for interesting projects

CARLETON 

• more conceptual and theoretical work 
• strong emphasis on 'traditional' architecture skills (drawing, model making, etc) 
• great guest lecturers and visiting professors 
• stronger international reputation 
• professors have a really diverse backgrounds and areas of interest 
• studio abroad (I believe one went to Helsinki) 
•  Ottawa isn't the most exciting city and job market doesn't to seem to be that great (ie worried about getting work experience) 
• less emphasis on digital skills 

Please comment on my assumptions this is just an exercise to see what other peoples experiences with these schools have been. Any feedback would be very helpful. 

Thanks
