Note also that you should not
base your university decision on these rankings. If you are
looking for an "academic" ranking of Canadian universities, see
Macleans' rankings, THES rankings, Gourman Report Rankings, Princeton
Review Rankings, etc. Also, you can ask on our student forums for more
specific rankings such as MBA rankings, business school rankings, and
law schools ranking, etc.

Canadian
University Rankings Criteria:
 The rankings are based solely
on how many times the name of a Canadian university is mentioned on our
forums. Since top universities will tend to
generate more discussions, they will usually rank
higher. On the other hand, many factors could
possibly affect the results such as how big a university is, how many
students a university happens to have on our forums, and so
on. Large universities will, in general, tend to have more
students and thus generate more discussions. And if there are
a lot of posters, on our forums, from, let's say, University
A, then University A will happen to be mentioned more often, and thus
rank higher.
Note,
once again, that the universities ranked here are the most commonly
mentioned Canadian universities on our
Canadian
University Forums, and not necessarily
the best. Note also that even though this is not an academic
ranking, it still gives an estimate of how popular a university is
since there will usually be more discussions about popular
universities. Also, if you are looking for more specific
rankings such as "Ontario university rankings," "Quebec university
rankings," "Alberta university Rankings," etc., or even more
specifically, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, etc. universities rankings,
you could form those based on our rankings list. For degree
related rankings, such as rankings of law schools, computer science
schools, and business universities, or even like undergraduate versus
graduate school rankings, see our
student
forums.
You
can think of these rankings like the Webometrics rankings which rank
(world) universities based on their Internet existence/popularity.
Univforum rankings, on the other hand, do the same solely based on
universities' existence/popularity on Univforum.com forums.
These
rankings were made on June 1st, 2011. The next rankings will be made in
2012. However, at any time, one can get a rough
estimate of how the rankings will be by using the "search" function on
the
forum,
thereby checking in how many threads a university is mentioned.
When doing this, take into account universities' different names.
