Which Toronto university for Civil Engineering?

0

If it’s prestige you’re interested in, it’s a no-brainer: people still call Ryerson “Ry-High” make t-shirts that say “friends don’t let friends go to Ryerson”, and generally look at it as an overblown community college. On the other hand, U of T is full of pretentious jerks (who say things like the above). I don’t know anything about the program at Ryerson. U of T has some pretty impressive (to me) civ facilities. U of T engineering is generally regarded as a fairly academic (on the scale of academic-practical), which may be good or bad.

For better or worse, U of T has a much better reputation than Ryerson for engineering. If he can get into U of T, he should do so. Better employers recruit at U of T and the alumni network is better. (In engineering at least – for journalism it would probably be the other way around).

I’ve never heard of Ryerson before, but I know that U of T publishes quite a bit of interesting research. (I say this as a librarian working win a transportation engineering library.

U of T. World class and internationally recognized university. Ryerson – Polytechnic with new “university” name. Easiest decision ever.

U of T is a perfectly decent university, meerkatty, but how in the world did you learn that it’s “world class”? No Canadian university is “world class.” U of T does not even remotely touch the level of the best US public universities (Michigan, Berkeley, UNC-Chapel Hill), and speaking of U of T and, say, Harvard in the same breath is ludicrous. U of T is predominately- overwhelmingly, in fact- a commuter school. Commuter schools are NOT “world class.” It’s as “world class” as, say, The University of Florida or SUNY-Buffalo. Maybe less. The U of T is elitist. It’s not elite. There is a huge difference there that Canadians don’t seem to grab. All universities in Canada are basically the same. I teach at the University of Calgary and there is nothing- NOTHING- to distinguish my students here from those I taught at all three campuses of the U of T (which required something like an 80 HS average for admission. Oh, and a pulse, first and foremost, a pulse and a high school diploma), Guelph,
