world class? You are getting ahead of yourself too much.Wow Ryerson is truly "growing up" and this project further strengthens its academic gravity and positions it as a world-class post-secondary institution. When I went there it was often called RyHi and this project (alongside all of the more recent projects) moves it further and further from this. It's great to see how all of these changes have helped it rebrand.
Ryerson now has a much higher ratio of applications to spots than York. Besides having a law school and a few other well-known programs and having been a university longer, I see no reason why York is rated any higher than Ryerson. Given the chronic safety issues at York and Ryerson's increasing admissions standards, it's only a matter of time before Ryerson is considered the "#2" school in the GTA in my opinion.Yeah Ryerson isn't world class yet. I may be a lowly York student but I hold Ryerson in no higher regard than I do my own poor, poor university. Well maybe not in all regards, Ryerson does manage to maintain a vaguely safe campus in a neighbourhood that really isn't that different from York's (Regent and Moss Park v. Jane and Finch). But it's still Ryerson High to me.
I'm not a York graduate but i can admit that they do have one of the most renowned business schools in all of Canada.Yeah Ryerson isn't world class yet.

All true and nothing I care about. Maybe I didn't make my contempt for my "lovely" school clear. I just think that calling Ryerson world class is just as stupid as calling York world class. I don't doubt that the movement is toward Ryerson being better regard than York (if it isn't already) but it sure doesn't mean anything except to those of us in the city.Ryerson now has a much higher ratio of applications to spots than York.

It's perfectly acceptable to mention "world class" if that's what the university aspires to. You need the phrase to discuss aspirations, though if you're sceptical about how far into the future we're talking about, then that's understandable. It should be noted that a school's "brand" recognition isn't necessarily a reflection of the overall quality of its education. Looking at the QS world ranking of universities, if you asked the average North American about their thoughts on the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the National University of Singapore, and maybe even Imperial College London, they might not recognize the names. And that's just from the top of the list--the elite group of world-class institutions.world class? You are getting ahead of yourself too much.
few people outside GTA ever heard about Ryerson. Way too early to mention "world class".
