求助化学PHD择校，拿到了加拿大的UBC和美国 brown的offer

NTU_dreamerUID：3079977

想想还是先来加版发个，之前一直在美版活动呵呵。加拿大只申了两所，UBC和UWO，但希望没报太大呵呵。

如题，LZ最近收到UBC的offer，brown是之前收到的。之前在美版活跃，对加拿大了解不是太大，所以想来听听各位加版前辈怎么看。
本人目前了解情形如下
brown化学系小，专业名气不如综合那么强，有本领域一大牛（中国人），但未能确定是否能进组，且竞争者应当较多，现知至少有10名中国学生进入brown。而且推测很多是奔着该大牛去的。
UBC化学系规模是我见过的学校中最大的，整个北美来看吧·email里UBC也很自豪的说自己是北美顶尖的化学系之一，有几个相关方向的导师还不错，之前也勾搭过一个，他说你拿到学校的financial support就能来我组啦，因为我没钱最近。。从导师选择方面来看UBC显然更优一些。

LZ本人有些美国情怀，所以这成了个纠结的问题。最近看了温哥华的介绍，发现这真心是个好地方。所以更添纠结。

anyway，请大家各抒自见，不吝赐教啊！

G你前面提议的转CS当如何实施？PHD毕业要求还是很严格的吧··望指点，我也留意一下。每年brown拿到master学位的PHD也不是很多·

05年以前很多在美国有身份和太牛的华人移民加拿大 ，现在越来越难。
如果只是在美国读个PHD很难很难回到加 ...

两国不是友好国家嘛？再来美国学历认可度在加国应当不错吧。我的理想境界是能做出些东西有所成就再回国吧··貌似想回去的不多？

去了Brown说不定能找到教职呢

brown确实在招lecturer，不过谁知道五年后呢··而且lecturer提倡女性·

美国大学教职薪酬普遍比加拿大低，待遇也没有加拿大好。

如此说来找工作大环境加拿大优于美国了？

finding faculty was my plan B, and switching to stats/cs was my planA in fact. I also changed my subject to mechanical engineering for PhD.  so, as long as this subject is not KengDie, I'd change. maybe i will quit my job and go for a Master's in data science soon.

as you have switched from commerce to mechanical engineering, you may not mind taking another step further. Given your talent, it won't be a daunting task to switch again to something else~~cheer up man, i don't think comments like "old goat..no energy..no dream .." are reflecting the positive life attitude. At least u must a energetic person who devoted so many years into research, and finally pulled it off and got a faculty job. seriously, you have achieved something while the majority of your peers weren't able to...
