Re: umm

In terms of undergraduate student population, the order is:

  1. U of T (across 3 campuses)
  2. York
  3. UBC (across 2 campuses)

Undergraduate enrollments have pretty close for UBC and York as of the last few years.

In terms of total student population, including graduate students, the order is:

  1. U of T
  2. UBC
  3. York

In terms of Campus Size, the order is:

  1. UBC (main Vancouver campus)
  2. York
  3. U of T (across 3 campuses)

According to rankings, Univesity of Waterloo, UofT, and Mcgill are always on the top.

biggest in ranking?? :confused: that doesn’t make sense… and rankings can be based on various criteria.

Generally speaking though, U of T, UBC, McGill, Queens are considered the top Universities across the variety of programs offered.

For science and engineering disciplines, it’s usually U of T, U of Waterloo, McGill and UBC.

For life sciences, it’s U of T, McMaster, McGill and UBC.

For social sciences, it’s U of T, York, McGill, UBC, Queens.

etc.

I think I posted various rankings for Canadian Institutions in the C&A forum a while back.

i was talking about Mcleans ranking, and those are overall rankings, i mean not for particular faculties and stuff.
there ranking was for “best universities in canada” and they have it every year. although i dont agree with their criteria (that keeps on changing)
