I call BS on that list. My school and another in Canada are consistently ranked in the top three Canadians schools, and in that spread are 92 places apart. What's more, a school consistently ranked below mine in Canadians schools is ranked above mine. Sorry, I don't buy it.

(Or I'm just pissed that I had to scroll to page two to find my school... but really, we're one of the top three schools in Canada virtually every year, I think that list puts us 5th overall in Canada).

Hey Taja! :P

hmm, been a few years since my college days, but as you know I first did a 2 year GNVQ (L3) in Art & design at my local college, then a HND in electronic media at North East Worcestershire college, then a BA in electronic media at Wolverhampton Uni...

ahh...those were the days...


I graduated in '99... O.O


K, I feel really old now.

I don't put much stock in it either. Academically, Wash U is normally in the US top 15.

Let's see. I only plan on sticking around in Monash (or at least, at the Malaysian campus) up until I get my degree; for Honours I'd like to transfer elsewhere. Is the place you went to well-reputed for biotech ?

I generally go by the Times Higher Education Supplement rankings. What's Canada's top school, McGill ?

Sorry I missed your other post, Chris. I'm not saying it's a piece of cake to score straight A's over there all across the board, but from what I've been told it is comparatively easier, or at the very least attainable. Also, the fact that you have significantly fewer core units should make life a hell of a lot simpler.

Oh and hey, Seaniesean. You're going to be 30 next year. =]
