I heard a lot of good about Concordia. It's actually on my short list of potential schools should I plan to return to post-secondary studies in the near future :)

Whereever you go, do NOT go to the University of Lethbridge. I went there for a year and I was suicidal most of the time, plus you're really isolated.
Vancouver is the warmest place in Canada. I went to UBC... I didn't know I was an Aspie at the time, so I can't comment on that side of the matter. But it's a nice university, kind of like its own city. The one thing you have to be on top of is housing. The dorms fill up really fast, and it's hard to find decent-priced housing in the rush... unless you like long commutes.

It's the wind. Lethbridge has quite a high suicide rate because of the constant howling wind.

I'm serious. It's so unrelentingly windy there it drives people to kill themselves.

I personally enjoyed the wind! Where did you hear that?
To me the whole town seemed like a dead end... like there was nowhere to go but back to where you had come from. I felt very hopeless and very alone.

I don't know if Nova Scotia is too far away, but St. Francis Xavier University has an awesome psychology department. It's better known for the Geology department, but generally it's a very scientific school. It's cheap, only about 7000CAD a year.

I go to the University of Alberta majoring in Philosophy and Psychology.
Have been enjoying it except the social expectations.
