"I meant york is outranking UofT in key areas"

Well, I don't know about "key" areas...but whatever....I'm not talking about a pissing match...I don't give a fuk about either...I thought I made that clear already????????????????????????

I was specifically addressing the stement you made....such as York gaining 12,000 students in one year (bS)...and it's building so much more than UofT that it's not even worth comparing (more BS)...or that more than half of York's buildings were built in the last 5 years (more BS)...or that "the facilities York is building are far bigger "...more BS.

Yak on about how great York is all you want...just don't use false info or stats to do it.

Well KGB, if you want to discuss the matter in a more civilized way I will be more than happy to participate in any thread you start about this topic. The last post pretty much summarizes my point. I really respect your knowledge on many urban topics KGB, but when you can't discuss in polite terms it really ruins the conversation.

KGB · October 21st, 2004, 07:17 AM

I love when people try to weasle out of getting caught continuously trying to defend their point by posting BS by pulling that "you're rude" line.

Why don't you just admit you were wrong...seems like a much easier way to handle the situation than trying to still get out of it.

Well the point of it all is, York isn't the same suburban brutalist university it once was and it will soon be one of the premier schools in the country. All it needs is a subway and everything will be golden.

Last time I checked York University is in Toronto it's not downtown but Steeles and Keele is in Toronto, North of Steeles and you are not that's where the border is, idiots...

KGB · October 21st, 2004, 09:58 AM

Er...well, last time I checked...nobody was suggesting York was not in the city.

But what the hell, it's fun to call people idiots on your 8th posts though eh? LOL!!

nope. That would be OCAD. Ask anyone in the arts.

I meant best University for Fine Arts algonquin, and even there York is only tops in Theatre and Graphic design, not music or visual arts.

KGB · October 21st, 2004, 07:34 PM

I think the Graduate Programme in Communication & Culture, that is a partnership of Ryerson University & York University, is a great idea. Instead of competing, they join forces. I think a few programs could benifit from this.

Hey don't forget Film and Video, although York and Ryerson here are in constant competition with each other (although if you ask me, the two programs are very very different).

scarbmike · October 22nd, 2004, 12:06 AM

Sorry, I often put the three in one: Theatre...lol.

Graphic Design? OCAD is tops in that department too...

scarbmike · October 22nd, 2004, 05:31 PM

Isn't OCAD a College??

"Isn't OCAD a College?? "

Um...yea...it has the word "college" in it's name....but it offers university degrees.

And a degree in graphic design from OCAD pulls a lot of weight...it is the oldest and best art school in the country.

scarbmike · October 22nd, 2004, 08:03 PM

"Um...yea...it has the word "college" in it's name....but it offers university degrees."

How does it do this? is it some kind of joint program?

"And a degree in graphic design from OCAD pulls a lot of weight...it is the oldest and best art school in the country."

Yeah...not just OCAD though. All college art/graphic degrees tend to hold more weight than University degrees, because that subject area is more practical as opposed to theoretical. That's why Universities tend to pair up with colleges for these programs.

KGB · October 23rd, 2004, 05:30 AM

"How does it do this? is it some kind of joint program?"

No...it has degree-granting abilities on it's own... The Ontario College of Art & Design Act 2001 was passed in the Ontario Legislature on June 27, 2002.

"Yeah...not just OCAD though."

meh...OCAD is in it's own league in Canada as an art school...it's the oldest and largest university of art and design.

As mentioned, OCAD is a full degree granting school. And you certainly do learn more than just practical stuff.

I've never been much of a football fan, but when I heard that the Argos were going to Varsity, that got me excited. Situated in a great urban environment where there is tonnes to do before and after the game would have made going to see the Argos a great Toronto experience. A neighbourhood kinda thing. Now, I seriously doubt that I'd ever go to York to catch a game. I lived there for a year. Thank god I had a metropass so I could escape it on a daily basis, 'cause that is one serious dead zone. Sure, there are more football fans in the 905, but they would have created more in the 416 if they opened in Varsity. What a shame.

Anyone know who the architect is for the new stadium??
