I can't tell you enough about Ryerson University. It's the place to go where you feel like it's a home away from home, it's where family is created. And it's a place where we reach for the stars - we encourage students to go beyond their vision, and attain incredible potential. It's just the place to be. The special thing about Ryerson I think is the atmosphere. The students bring such a spirit and enthusiasm for all the programs they're in that I don't think that can be beat anywhere else. There's a lot of opportunity to get involved not only within your studies but also outside the classroom. Fantastic institution to be able to work for. I think Ryerson is the best school to go to because we are in the downtown core and that makes us accessible to all people everywhere and it just opens the world up really, being downtown Toronto. It is a great way to start your future with some proper guidance, I really appreciate the personal connection I have with professors all staff members and students. The opportunities that Ryerson gives students. Ryerson is growing in a really fast pace, and that's directly proportionate to how many opportunities are given to students, and that's why I love Ryerson. Because I heard you have a really good biomedical program. I heard you have a really good engineering program and I'm really interested in it. Fantastic theatre program. Well, for the biology program, I think it's a great gateway to veterinary school. I like Ryerson because the opportunities are endless.
