US Alternatives for Graduate Schools in Ontario

International students who are interested in studying for their graduate degree at an Ontario school should instead consider schools in the Northeast or New England regions of the US. These schools are located in a similar geographical area, and also have diverse commercial and tourism hubs like Boston and New York (both home to several global company headquarters). Other schools are set in charming small towns, while still being a short train or drive away from bigger cities.
