BTW, I never realized how small Ivy League colleges are (as far as undergrads are concerned). I thought that McGill was an average-sized university at ~21K students but it's friggin huge compared to a lot of the Ivy League schools.

21K students is huge for most private universities in the US!

Ah that explains it, in Canada the gov't heavily subsidizes all universities (well they subsidize tuition, really) so there's not such thing as public/private universities since the gov't doesn't actually run any of the universities.
