Which is a better college- McGill University or Washington University

Which is a better college- McGill University or Washington University?
If you had to say overall, which one is better-known, has a better reputation, and is just overall better academically: McGill University (in Montreal, Canada) or Washington University (in St. Louis, Missouri)? And no, don't just go look up a list of the top colleges. Based on what you already know. I'm trying to analyze my college options.

Washington University.
Answer 2 :
McGill is ranked #1 in Canada - everyone knows this so I didn't have to look it up - but Washington obviously isn't #1 in the USA. So, I'd guess that McGill is "better" overall. Both are still prestigious schools though, lol. Being Canadian, I'm biased towards McGill but, honestly, McGill is probably considered more prestigious than Washington in Canada while Washington is considered more prestigious than McGill in the US. Where are you planning on working in the future, Canada or the US?

Answer 1 :
Best area to go is Georgetown, there's a lot of bars along M Street...and the corner of 34th street. BUT....its sort of the wrong time of year.....University doesn't start back up until the end of August.
Answer 2 :
Try the Tombs. It's located on 36th St. between N and Prospect streets in Georgetown. That's where all of the Georgetown University students go.

Is Western Washington University a good college for Biology

Is Western Washington University a good college for Biology?
I am really wanting to go to Western Washington University. I love the school as a college, however my science teacher told me it is not the best school for Biology sciences. My desired majors are Biology, Microbiology or immunology. I was wondering if it was true that WWU did not have a strong Biology program, or if it did. Thanks!

Answer 1 :
Why Biology? Are you aware a degree in Biology qualifies you only for counting worms in fish guts unless you extend to graduate/professional school? Western Washington U rated a below-average "D" by the ACTA Education Foundation for the school's lack of commitment to good General Education.
