Queens OT vs. Western OT

[Zeni]

Hi everyone. I'm looking at these two schools for OT, and I'm wondering if anyone can provide some input on how they compare regarding the following issues:

 

1) Learning style - individual or group-focused?

 

2) My undergrad was in psychology, and my primary interests lie in mental health (working with clients who have mental illness) and cognitive rehab. Do one of these programs have a stronger focus on these topics?

 

3) Placement - If given the chance, I would really prefer to complete my placement in the Toronto/GTA area. Do these schools differ in their stance on offering placement positions outside of their catchment areas?

 

4) General information on reputation/job prospects upon graduation.

 

Any other info concerning these schools will definitely be helpful as well. Thanks in advance for any information!
