Canadian University Report 2011
|
The Globe And Mail has released their annual Canadian University Report for 2011 (formerly University Report Card) which collects the opinion of over 40,000 students across the country. There's also some fantastic sections with career advice and tips. Plus interesting information on which places students voted their top choices to work after they graduate. Also, learn where this year's Top 40 Under 40 went to school, and more!
Purchase the Globe And Mail newspaper today (Monday Oct 25) to get a copy of the report included inside (it's a small magazine that is slipped inside the newspaper). The paper only costs $1.50, you can find it at most convenience stores as well as Chapters bookstores, etc.
You can view the entire mini magazine online as a FREE E-zine here, or you can download the PDF version here.
There are quotes from myself, as well as other fellow McMaster Alumni (you can view my quote in the Humanities section page 28/29 of the e-zine, or view here), and one of the contributors of the magazine was Danielle Lorenz. |

I honestly am not surprised. SOLAR + MUGSI will be the end of me.

I wonder who they asked and what sorts of questions they asked as well.
Personally, I wouldn't mind living in Hamilton. Our student housing is fantastic, compared to that of other places.
Unless the town/city thing is about cool stuff one can do, in which case Toronto would always win.

Joe is mentioned in one article, but he's not part of the Working Knowledge section that Chad is profiled in. He doesn't post on MI as much as he used to because of his duties as VP Ed of the MSU. He does provide us with announcements fairly regularly, though.

i believe that. York seems to be one-upping everyone for lots of reasons. They have two reading weeks, for starters -____________________-
