UVic vs. University of Manitoba

[coleslaw1812 0]

Hi everyone! I am currently trying to decide between the University of Victoria and the University of Manitoba and would love some input. I don’t particularly want to end up in BC or Manitoba, and I would love to have as much flexibility as possible from my JD degree as my girlfriend is in medical school and will have to move wherever her residency is. Is it much harder to get hired with a U of M JD than one from UVic? My partner will be in Winnipeg for the next four years in medical school, and ideally I would like to be able to be there with her, but not if it would be difficult to be hired elsewhere once I am finished the degree since she may have to move out of the province for her residency.

If you don't want to be in either MB or BC, go with your girlfriend. UVic would have advantages if you wanted to move together to BC later. Without that, you're contemplating spending the next 3 years half a continent apart from each other, to get a degree from somewhere you don't want to work in.

With your circumstances, you should go to UManitoba.

Definitely go to U of M to be with your partner. Robson Hall students get summer jobs and articling positions in other provinces.
