We're Number One! (because no one's left)...

11 universities, including UofT, McMaster University and UBC, have opted out of the Maclean's Annual University Survey, citing flawed methodology on Maclean's part for their withdrawl.

While I really don't care either way, it really paves the way for Queen's to brag about the fact that we're #1 in the survey!

Oh wait, McGill's still around...

Apparently, McGill WILL be number one because we're not even there anymore. It seems that Queen's has reviewed (*cough* followed the crowd *cough*) this issue and has decided to pulled out of the Maclean's survey. With most of the major universities out, looks like the yearly publication is likely as good as dead...

Its good to see the Macleans survey finally being undermined the way it should have been years ago. Much of the data they have prsented in the past has been useful to incoming students but to then aggregate, simplify, and rank the way they do does a diservice to the complexity of programs offered by Canadian universities.

That being said, McGill is ofcourse still number 1.
