Ryerson Speech & Debate Association Reviews

I wanna attend this university but I gotta get a few degrees in collage firstly , am just a soul on a #JourneyToSelfImprovement

The university is getting busy. Its that time of year again!! Maybe different just because what's going on this year.

Gotta love Rye High. Lots going on, good location in the heart of downtown. Mostly a commuter school for locals, but you get an interesting downtown vibe you don't get elsewhere in Toronto, not even U of T.

I didn't know there's a beautiful park just adjacent to Ryerson!

Ryerson University is very special from the outside, the artistic atmosphere is very strong, and the son is also interested in design and architecture, so I especially want to see it. Compared with the University of Toronto in the same time, I still prefer how big, relying on this. My son s own efforts for a few years

The name of this University is after Egerton Ryerson, who was a prominent Methodist educator, politician, and minister.
In June 2001, the institution assumed its name as Ryerson University. Today, Ryerson University offers programs in aerospace, chemical, civil, mechanical, industrial, electrical, biomedical, and computer engineering. The Biomedical Engineering program is the first independent undergraduate biomedical engineering program in Canada. The university is also one of only two Canadian universities to offer a program in aerospace engineering accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board of Canada.

Best place to lay down on the grass within the city towers

Ryerson University is an institution faced with extremely limited space. As the world is constantly challenged by managing finite resources, Ryerson's innovative thinking and planning has resulted in an authentic university experience within down town Toronto. The chief city planner of Chicago, Daniel Burnham, states "make no little plans. They have no magic to stir the blood and probably will not be realized. Make big plans. Aim high in hope and work." This ideology reflects Ryerson's ambitions as the Master Plan intends to create a campus that is more than just about getting from point A to point B. By hosting local farmer's markets, a variety of food trucks, an effective student union, and a myriad of entertainment on the minuscule campus, Ryerson has truly fostered a unique identity within one of the most culturally diverse parts of the world.

awesome university - go there if you want to learn something you will actually need once in your life
!

I am in the bachelor of Social Work, 2nd year advance student, Michelle Free was concise, informative and supportive in transitioning during COVID. I was extremely impressed with the professors, how genuine, understanding and involved they were in seeing us succeed in the courses. There is a lot of supportive services, and everyone is so easy to talk to!

I studied film and photography at Ryerson over 30 years ago and psychology later. While it's a big institution and I sometimes felt insignificant when dealing with administration, I have met many great people, both professors and fellow students. Many of these people I remain friends with to this day. I'm taking a course on the Psychology of Personality in the spring as part of my commitment to lifelong learning and am looking forward to it. Great School!

After moving across the country from British Columbia to Toronto, Ryerson University provided an environment that was welcoming and homey. Large enough to have many opportunities to meet new people everyday, but small enough to feel connected to everyone, including teachers, as part of the Ramily. Most teachers know you by your first name, and care about the education and success of students in the classroom and as individuals.

I am still a student here, but Ryerson makes me excited for what I will be learning during my next two years here! I feel like the level of education here will provide me with the knowledge and hands-on experience in my field of study to be successful later in life.

R.U offers part time learning and classes after Office Hours. It makes it more convenient for those who are continuing education while working.

It's a great school filled with great experiences !

Great university, accommodating and helping immigrate to emerge in Canadian job market.

Easy access to garbages. Love it. Good dinners in the trash bins for me and raccoon friends. Big fan over all, would just ask that dumpsters be a littler shorter for dinner parties. Love everything else tho. Thanks Ryerson.

I just don't understand why their telephone lines are always sooooooooooooooo busy

Great university for any entrepreneurial individuals finishing a degree. The entrepreneurship and innovation support that is open to all students is wonderful. And the electrical engineering program is great. Modern style campus.

Love how fast Rye High is growing. The SLC is a must for studying in a fun, vibrant, and quite setting.

Great community feeling while also at the heart of the best city in Canada.

Great school. Cost benefit ratio is low. You get similar value of education to other 'snob' schools......I learned way more here than most my colleagues who supposed graduated from ivy league schools. It's a hands on practical knowledge uni where graduates come out ACTUALLY knowing something about what they studied. I loved this school. It was exactly the kind of post secondary education I was looking for. plus, less than 4 years after graduation, I making 6 digits.

amazing institution with a wide range of highly educated staff ready to teach on any topic. Great atmosphere with the student life very present.

A money grabber. I've just found out I wasn't the only one who got scammed and wasted a lot of money to have an instructor who would just read *.ppt. Seriously? If you care for your money or your learning experience, BEWARE.

Come from Germany and I like this school better then in home! Thank.

Whoever called university students indoctrinated left-libs must be a Trump supporter who lives in Crackton. (I say the same things about religious nuts, who are brainwashed, uneducated, low-information hicks who are stuck in the 1950s).

I can speak only about Ryerson's journalism program. Although it favors attractive rich kids with connections galore, the program itself is comprehensive and its courses complement one another. I learned quite a bit from my liberal studies curriculum, and I developed critical thinking skills that continue to be honed in mid-late adulthood.

As for my core studies, however, I felt out of place. My profs counseled me to quit the program because I lacked necessary social skills. I was bullied in small town Ontario and at my last college, so whatever social skills I had were either lost or never properly developed. A little compassion was necessary, I thought.

Although I was not the best student journalist, I did well in my compulsory courses.

I don't work in the communications industry. However, I have an edge over many of my hicktown high school peers: while they read the Toronto Sun, I can understand The New York Times. Their precious Fox and Friends gives me an ice cream headache; I'd rather watch a good documentary or Newshour on PBS. And I don't like simple solutions to complex problems.

Dental associates program is very good. Internships at an all time high for this program.

Ryerson is amazing. I'm a recent graduate and loved being a part of the community here. Other students are pretty welcoming and the staff/professors know their stuff. Teaching styles vary from textbook to more hands-on (though more hands-on), which was great as I learn by doing rather than reading. There's also tons of clubs and extracurriculars you can be a part of! I'd definitely recommend Ryerson to any student interested in their programs!

Went here for a free workshop called the Ryerson Startup. It was really insightful and I can't wait to do more! Thank you!

Writing an honest review since Larry Page/Sergey Brin/Sundar have given me a voice on the Google platform.

Going to Ryerson is probably not a good idea as the major systemic issue (other than the horrible campus layout) within most Toronto postsecondary institutions is that there is no effort from the staff employed at the institution to prepare their students for success in their lives. Most of them just read their slides every single and look forward to the course ending just as much as the students do. Its sad that the world is really becoming a heartless place where even instructors don't want to see their students succeed or "be better than them". I could go on about this for hours really, but most I'm going to leave it there for today.

TLDR: If you have a job/field that you're already working in, and would like to further advance in that field, continuing your education at Ryerson is a good idea in most cases. Find a job before choosing your program that you can manage and like at least a bit to earn a stable income and then choose a program that gives you the qualifications to be hired in that role.

Great university with professional professors and staff. You have a good education here and the university are in the middle of downtown so you're close from shopping , subways and cafes.

Ryerson has been a place that has harboured inspiration, passion and success for me and for my peers. My time here has changed me as a person and showed me what I want to do in my life; I am proud to say I am a student here.

Ryerson University has given me a mixture of hands-on learning and theory, and has provided me with the skill set to enter the workforce confident in my ability to succeed. I am thrilled to be attending an institution with such a reputable staff and encouraging environment.

Well known university. Very big. Excellent facilities. Huge campus and close to downtown. Lots of stores and restaurants in the area. Eaton centre isn't to far.

This university was full with experienced lecturers one of the great place for education

I really like this campus, all buildings construction,area, people

If you are an irrational liberal who likes emotion based thinking, without true empirical data, this is the school for you. I was going to get my BSW as a third year advanced part-time student. I started in April 2017, dropped out December 2017. Took the money that I would have wasted on tuition, and invested in my business. One of the best decisions I've made.

They have a midwifery program at Ryerson. I hired a midwife ( Kensington Midwives) who graduated this program with honors. She neglected me during labor and my baby was severely brain damaged and died in my arms at the hospital 13 days of age in September 2016. My baby girl was in perfect health, full term and so beautiful :((((
So this midwife said in her official response to the College of Midwives that my baby died due to brain and other organ injuries, not because there had been an absence of a fetal heart rate, leading to death.
College of Midwives also is concerned that the midwife appears to misunderstand basic physiology and has failed to connect the perinatal events with baby s death . What kind of education is that?? If this midwife graduated with honors and has no medical knowledge whatsoever, what to expect from regular graduates, who graduated without honors?
The best part: this midwife is still allowed to practice since it was just one dead baby.

I just got off the phone with ryersons admissions office, and Dianne was the friendly operator helping me out. She patiently went through an extensive list of criterias and requirements needed for my admissions. She also went over the administration processes and painted a very clear picture for me. I am so grateful to have come across an absoluteltly amazing staff member!

Great post secondary education University. It was fun because of it's downtown location.

It's like crack. It will suck all the money and life out of you but someone told you that one time that you will enjoy it after so you keep going back in hopes you haven't wasted everything on a false prophet.

Great institution, teachers are very enthusiastic, I love being part of such a innovative university.

This rating is for the campus itself. The physical part and the social part that its design fosters. If you're visiting Toronto and find yourself near the Eaton Centre, walk one block over and explore this urban campus. You'll find Ryerson More

The quad at Kerr Hall is a lovely place to spend time, walk dogs and relax.

Trigger warning: financial responsibility.

The students Union loves to waste time and money. Whether it's on fighting Canada's history or dropping a few thousand dollars so the executives can have fun drinking and going to the Rec Room.

Ryerson is a fantastic university! The location is incredible and in reality the walk in between classes is not that far as all buildings surround Dundas Square. The students attending Ryerson University are down to earth and friendly, as well as the professors. Other staff at Ryerson are always willing to answer questions or direct you to the appropriate department fast and efficiently. In all honesty, Ryerson feels like a second home whether or not one is even living on campus. Ryerson is selective in their acceptance of students into various programs and the quality of education gained from this experience is like no other. Furthermore, Ryerson keeps in contact with post-graduates in which current students may be sent to conduct co-operative education.

Good teachers. Modern design to classes. Reasonable administrators.

great uni, with many resources and opportunities which are offered to students

As a first year Urban Sustainability student at Ryerson I have definitely made the appropriate choice. This unique program divides the environment and urban sustainability portion of the curriculum with faculty of arts programs, which creates diversity as we have so many avenues available for classes and choice of minors. With only a hand-full of programs world-wide focusing on Urban Sustainability, Ryerson has done a great job of selecting profs who are also upper-league in their research and development of this sector.

Great study space. Great environment, and interesting architecture. Overall welcoming community.

Empty building now because of coronavirus hoping will be full of student soon

Great place to accommodate when studying English nearby.

Had a hard time with my essays and English a silence. Had to get outside help, so I contacted this at agency.

Didn't study there, but like the look of the Campus.

Great school and excellent location, loving my experience here at Ryerson

Took the accounting program here. A lot of professors are subpar and just read powerpoint slides and cannot explain things in detail because they clearly did not review the materials themselves. I ended up skipping the majority of classes of any professors like this because the lectures were useless and my 3 hours could be spent much more effectively. I ended up graduating with honours but it felt like half my classes had unmotivated professors who did nothing to contribute to your learning.

Next, when I was attending school there was no career guidance system set up and pretty much 0 support for helping you find employment. All we had in the accounting program was the Big4 recruiters who only recruit a handful of people from our program of hundreds. There were no medium/small accounting firm recruiters, no industry recruiters, and no government recruiters coming to the school making post graduation job hunting very bleak. The online job site Ryerson launched is full of sales job with very little jobs related to your degree.

All in all, I got my degree here but the school did not help open much doors. It's still a relatively new University so I hope that can change in the future. If you're looking for an good Accounting program I would highly suggest looking elsewhere. It's impossibly hard to land an accounting career job in Toronto without an excellent recruitment program. There are many accounting grads from U of T that are still struggling to find work in the area. Many have finished their first designation exam and still have to get their masters to be competitive. Your odds of getting an accounting designation tracked job before they do with just a Ryerons degree will be challenging. Just a fair warning if you decide to come here for accounting.

Thanks for an exhibition about Climate Change. To rethink the planet wide and make the Greener our moves

They deserve more reputation. Glad to be part of Ryerson!

I'm currently attending Ryerson's "prestigious" film program. So far it's been a huge disappointment, and it baffles me that people hold this school's film program to such a high regard.

Ryerson turned into a university in the 70s from being a polytechnic college. Quite ambitious, but it worked out well for many of its programs. A majority, probably. But, for film, we're left with a program that feels like a weekend crash course stretched out over four years. As an academic program, it's an insult to education. As a technical, hands-on program, it's a joke.

If you want a scholastic education in cinema, go to U of T or York; if you want career-prep, go to Seneca or Humber. Ryerson's program is a compromise between the two, and it feels almost like they tried to somehow integrate academia into what was otherwise a fine college course in order to justify the degree. In doing so, however, they've managed to maul the technical and practical aspects of the curriculum.

I'm in second year, and in a whole semester of visual studies we've only learned how to move and transform objects in After Effects. We're just starting FCPX, and the only thing about lighting that we've learned is how to turn them on.

If you have money and time to waste, sure, Ryerson might be a great option. If you want a job or an education, stay clear of this institution and disregard all of the hype associated with it, because that's all it is.

Just finished my 1st yr. Amazing time meeting new friends and loving my courses and profs. Can't wait 2nd year to start! Will miss you all over the summer.

Often rated "Canada's worst university", but too arrogant to answer emails.

Ryerson offers a unique university experience as it is located in the downtown core of the city. There are many enthusiastic and engaging professors, and the new student learning centre is a great addition offering tons of (much nicer) study/work space!

One of the best universities in Canada! Truly a unique place to study in.

The side of the escalator hasn t been dusted in what seems like months, how do you expect me to eat here

not only does the location of this uni become quite lively, but the wide variety of programs made available to students is great!

beautiful study space, incredible look from the outside as well as the inside. Lots of lightening, open space for students to relax. I can just keep counting, building provides everything you need.

It's a very new, fresh, vibrant look for the name of the school, its students and Yonge Street.

I love it and I hope it'll be used properly by students

Go to UofT, if you can't afford it, I guess this place works
