Canadian colleges are seeing an uptick in applications and web traffic from the U.S. since President-elect Donald Trump's win.
U.S. applications to the University of Toronto are up 70 percent from this point last year, while McMaster University’s American applications are up 34 percent, according to the Associated Press.
ADVERTISEMENT "I think everybody in international education is a little uneasy, in part because some of the rhetoric in the campaign frightened people overseas," Stephen Dunnett, University of Buffalo’s vice provost for international education, told the AP.
"It's going to be perhaps a little bit rocky for a couple of years."

Snowflakes heading north to keep from melting.
Who says all of the fun is gone?
Purging toxic substances can be good for the body.
*LOL*...Bye,bye “snowflakes”!!! Going to join real snowflakes, huh???
There are videos of Canadian snowflakes accosting a Canadian student for wearing a Trump hat.
Look, if such a thing as a woodshed on your property exists, take your darn snowflake kid back there, and do what you parents should have done when they were in diapers!!!
Didn’t read the article but perhaps they are aliens in the US who are nervous about their status.
Great. Like we need more of these delusional, pathetic children. We have enough of them up here. Heck, we’ve gone one running our country.
They’ll crap out and wind up back here as soon as the exchange rate flips.
That’s fine...As long as they go....

“Finally, the federal government disbursed $112 billion in student loans in 2012. Most of that will be paid back, with interest. So what does the government spend on the loans? The government measures the cost of its loan programs by the subsidy that they provide to the borrower.”
Interesting article. I hope taxpayers are not subsidizing their Canadian education.
More winning.
Unless things have changed in the last 20 years or so Canadian universities are very difficult to get into academically and they don’t have sports teams beyond the intramural level, so no scholarship based on athletics.
The average thinking and planning high school senior thought about their college choice last summer. They and certainly those who’ve not decided until after the election could not give a rats a@@ about who the president is nor how he will affect their lives. What they are thinking about beside the usual things high school seniors think about, is that the cost of their education is so high they’re overwhelmed in considering it. So are tgeir parents Canada is a good choice for a value education. So forget it
Dollars-to-donuts many crap out and wind up back here after they experience their first Toronto winter!
“Toronto winter”??? You call what you get in Hogtown winter???
To American readers - Toronto is in the banana belt of Canada. They had to call in the army a while back to take over the city when they had a major snowfall.
American students should put up with a winter in Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg or Quebec City, not in balmy Toronto.
Tell Mom and the kids I said "Hi"..
Don't forget to drop us a card. /s
Good.
Winnipeg. Now that’s winter.
As one reads the article, was there any discussion about other factors that might have caused an increase in applicants? Was there any evidence to support the contention of the main point to the article that there even was an increase? What about the fact that the Canadian dollar has dropped a bunch and currently sits at $0.72….. and is still on a downwards slide? Could that have had anything to do with it? Nope…. Nary a word about that and nothing explored beyond the conclusion that had already been drawn. It’s all Trump’s fault!

The idea that political correctness has been rejected and actual freedom is going to prevail is understandably terrifying to alt left academia.
