Did someone rearrange the keys on your keyboard while you weren't looking? Oh wait - it's French. I think it means snail appetizers!

I took 2 years of French (God forgive me) and I never heard of a French word Cegep. Maybe it's misspelled.

No, I don't think it's eatable

. It's an acronym: http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-quer...&Acronym=cegep

I'm from Ontario, and I know we've got nothing like that here. You guys finish high school in grade 11 right?? And then Cegep is like a university prepratory thing?? That's how I understood it. I was just wondering, because I was looking into some Quebec universities, mainly McGill, and was just wondering if you might attend there.

You got it all right! We have 6 years of primary (elementary) school, then 5 years of secondary (high) school. After that, there's college (Cegeps are public colleges those that cost 1000$ less than private colleges...). Anyway! At collegiate level, we can either choose a 2-year pre-universitary program or a 3-year technical program (which leads directly to a job).

I must admit I'm surprised that Ontario folks are interested in attending school here! What motivates you to be?

McGill is a good school, it's one of the out of province schools I was looking into. Another was STFX. I'm probably gonna stay in Ontario, but now the big question is where??
