Best University in Canada?

Post by Ugaas Diini »

Which one is it? I have never heard of any good Universities being in Canada. Also I wanted to ask. Does York University have an open acceptance policy? I ask because even my high school drop out cousin that moved to Canada recently tells me he attends York University and he really does. Surprised

GREAT Universities here. Most uni's here have an open policy, to some extent. Admittance is determined for the most part on marks, (more stringent than those easy ass SAT's Yank's write) but if your cousin is a "mature student status" (19+. Out of school two years) then he will only have had to write (and pass) an aptitude test, and pay the fee. It's a way of making post secondary education available to those who may have missed out. Unlike the US, we believe in offering post sec to everyone. Smile

There is no REAL open policy for any Canadian institution of higher learning. You must write some test or have HS diploma.

Well it depends on the program.
Some universities are strong on certain programs and weak on others.
For example, Waterloo University is excellent in the sciences. While dalhousie is known for its law school.

Gedoboy, did he speak French? I remember french speaking skinny associate prof who always looked dishevelled and out of sorts, don't know what became of him. IN my department there are no Somalis but lots of hairy arabs and iranians. Alright for the most part.
