RyHigh Rulz!

For the third time in the past four years, Ryerson University ranked #1 in the Leaders of Tomorrow category among primarily undergraduate institutions in the 2005 Maclean's reputational survey. The survey is included in the annual Maclean's magazine ranking of Canadian universities.

The University was also ranked third as Best Overall (up two spots from 2004), third as Most Innovative, and fifth in Highest Quality in the reputational rankings of primarily undergraduate institutions. These rankings are determined by a poll of corporate CEOs, university officials, high school principals and heads of organizations.

According to who?

I think the people doing the ranking should actually come and spend a day at Ryerson, use the library, or should i say wait in line to use the library, good luck getting a seat, nevermind a computer, use our bathrooms, try to climb the main stairwell, try to use phone, get food and push through the over crowded hallways to get to a class that's not even on campus...yeah we're number 1....sure

Really?

I honestly can't believe that. Maybe it's because I hear such negative comments about Ryerson, not only from the students at Ryerson but also from the community and from students of other universities.
I think it's great that we are rated that well, but have they actually taken a look at what Ryerson has to offer. I mean we aren't the most advanced school. We lack a lot of great things. For instance, a library that contains recently published books by Canadian authors.
I do think that we have a lot of great programs that prepare students for the 'real world' because we get to have actual hands on experience. So I do think we deserve that number one spot.

If you check out the criteria, it clearly says that we suck in terms of space, only in terms of the issue I mentioned are we #1. You should notice that Ryerson is cleaner since Levy showed up. We're on the way up, not down.

I know the criteria you were mentioning I just wanted to vent a little about everything else that has gone down in Ryerson, especially this year.

WOW, I am surprise to hear that. Well I am proud to go to the number one school. I hope that this will help me to get into teachers college.....lol

It does put you ahead of lots of the other universities to which you may be applying. Good luck!

Re: According to who?

right. venting is good. I don't do it in public any more, now that I'm not a student.

Every university's good at something. Ryerson is very cutting edge, and has a lot that UofT doesn't have. If you find something lacking at Ry, you should compare how it might be at other universities. They may be worse. I'm so very happy to be teaching at Ryerson, to be totally frank. And the more time I spend here the stronger that sense gets.

Well I'm just glad I got into this school and program. I've always heard good things about Ryerson and is good to hear that it's at the top of the list!!!!!
