B-School Right Choice?

I'm from India and I'm planning to pursue my undergraduate studies in Canada. I have been accepted to the following Universities:

York University - Economics (didn't make it to Schulich )
Wilfrid Laurier University - BBA
Concordia University - John Molson School of Business - Bcomm Accounting
University of Alberta - School of Business - Bcomm Accounting

I have decided to go to University of Alberta instead of Concordia or Wilfrid Laurier. My long term plan is to settle in Canada and one of the reasons I chose Alberta is because it has very good Job prospects and the program has co-op. The only negative part is that people that I have spoken to so far have no clue about the University of Alberta and they don't even know where it is. I just wanted to know if I have made the right decision. I still have time to go to concordia or Wilfrid Laurier instead... so should I? Have I made the right decision?

 

I got into the arts faculty for economics at york and I've asked people that are currently studying at york and they hate it! most are actually trying to transfer out from the program

 

If you are interested in pursuing accounting you shouldn't have too much trouble landing a big4 gig in Edmonton. The general path for accountants in Alberta is Big4->Get CA->Jump ship to a junior oil & gas firm to act as CFO->Hope the company goes big
