I thought i'd ask this in here, but what's the pro's and con's of both cities? I'm going to be moving to one of the two cities, but I want to get peoples opinions on each city.

I only know Oakville.

It's full to the brim with old people who have nothing but time on their hands. They put in a new development of hundreds of houses but forgot to widen the roads. In other words, I hope you are never in a hurry for anything at any time, because nothing ever happens fast in Oakville.

Oakville drives me crazy. But it is pretty and safe. Safe being relative to your situation. If you bring your abusive husband, well it won't be safe then will it?

Since I don't have a boyfriend or a husband me being unsafe shouldn't be a problem. I'm never in a hurry ever... well sometimes when i'm going to be late.

Oakville is a nice town if you like the suburbs. York is very much a part of Toronto. It is the city. Unless you're refering to another York? I would not recomend York. Oakville has all the amenities and is less than an hour to Toronto for when you want the big city. I live about an hour east of Toronto in a city similar to Oakville and find Toronto is close enough for my needs. Now if you are planning to work in the city and live in Oakville you will have an hour commute each way.
Hope this was helpful

That is helpful as well eh1eh. I'm talking about the york in Toronto. I'd love to work in Oakville or Toronto, but last I knew you can't work while your on a study visa (unless they've changed it). I'm planning on going to school up there at either Seneca or Sheridan in January. I haven't really read up on the other visas they have though.

I'm taking Computer Programming then I might go into Computer Programming Anaylsis and do the internship over in Japan that Sheridan offers. I do know that i'm getting into Computer Programming though.

Do it!

Wow, to be young again.

We I say go for it all. Japan would be a great experience. I'm a little to old to learn code but would love to be able to. Hope you enjoy your world travels.
