one of the best looking campuses

i hate western's campus. one of the worst i've seen (although i haven't seen a lot). carleton has a gorgeous landscape and one of the best jounalism programs in the country. our caf food was voted #1 in macleans (but then we boycotted their stupid survey thing and we mysteriously got last the year after...).

Lauren, you judged Western's campus ugly when you walked from the gates to my residence, a grand total of 100 metres.

 

Seriously.

my sister's boyfriend has been going there for 2 years. i've done my share of walking around campus.

[Prometheon]

London is nice, and the Western campus is pretty decent. I probably wouldn't say its the #1 campus in Canada, but it's definitely above average.

 

Can we all agree on one thing though? Mac is fucking ugly.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

oh i like the buildings ;)...

[Muran]

Other than looking like a prison, there are a lot of good programs @ SFU. I personally took the SFU Surrey, Interactive Arts program, which is really, quite amazing, although not as amazing as when it was a TechBC (now defunct) program.

 

If you're into computer animation, audio/visual production, New Media Design and/or graphic design, I would suggest you check it out.

I think I feel that way cuz my buddy and I got lost in Hamilton on our way there, so we have a small grudge against it.

If you're into charming university towns, a close-knit community, fantastic residence life, and an overall great undergraduate experience, try out St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish.

I should be slapped for that advertisement. Or paid.

 

I'm in my second year at X and I love it. The small class sizes and professors who actually care are unusual at the university level, but X has them both. Getting involved in student services and other societies is non-intimidating and the people in general are super friendly. Honestly, I couldn't see myself anywhere else.

[Lauren]

they take attendance in all of my classes. no joke. it's more for a participation mark but stil... my largest class has 100 people in it.

[ecnarf]

Yeah, but social sci / a&h tend to have smaller class sizes on average than science. Just keep that in mind. Seeing as all 1200 first-year science kids at Western have to take the same four subjects (as well as many health science/kinesiology students, students fulfilling their science requirements, and the old-timers) a first year science course with fewer than 100 people is going to be rare. Although I'm failure sure my calculus class has less than 100 people. Or maybe it's just that less than 100 people tend to show up. Either way it's a fraction of the size of my big three lectures.

some schools have bigger class sizes than others. fewer people go to carleton than western so it makes sense that my class sizes would be smaller. we do have psych classes that have 400+ but luckily i am not in anything that size.

[Guest jsunC]

i thought carleton was huge, guess not

[Lauren]

i think its a relatively small university. most people looking to go to school in ottawa go to ottawa u. i was just following the ex here and i'm really happy here. i don't know why he chose here... i think he liked their bachlor of humanities program.

[garsk]

i personally think you should go to DeVry, cause like the commercial said, their serious about success!

[Guest jsunC]

this is true....

[no yu begin wher i end]

Take psychology at U of M. It's where the sensory deprivation techniques used by the CIA and passed on to tin pot dictators were developed, with financial support from the US and Britain.

[ecnarf]

Because if you want to enjoy living in Winnipeg, you're going to need that.

[no yu begin wher i end]

Hence why I want out.

[Lauren]

come to CARLETON!!!

[garsk]

hey, bovine university is suppost to be great.

[ecnarf]

I like how those two lined up so perfectly.

[Hyphnip]

traitor!

I like Winnipeg... kinda. it's better than anywhere in Saskatchewan and thats something, right?

[ecnarf]

Well, the eight layer of hell isn't quite as bad as the ninth, am I right?

[Lauren]

they are equally bad but in different ways. at least that's the impression i got...

[ecnarf]

The problem with Winnipeg is that you have to interact with people.

 

The problem with the rest of Saskatchewan is the soul-crushing flatness.

 

EDIT: As flat as a white girl's ass. Or an asian girl's chest. You get the idea.

No, the people are fine. The problem with Winnipeg is the mosquitos, the extreme cold, the crappy roads, the idiot kids who kill people (but apparently don't know better), the urban sprawl, the transit system, the hustlers, the cyclists and lack of bike paths...

I once saw a hot Asian girl with big tits. It was like an early Christmas present.
