Even stuff like McGill and Queen's are public.

You mean the government takes an active interest in educating its population? What a concept. -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 11:37
and the ones that aren't public pretty much suck. -- nm - link hogthrob Jul 16, 11:35 3
- like Devry, etc. -- nm - zork Jul 16, 11:41 2
  - Not a university in Canada. IoT. -- nm - Reagen Jul 16, 11:44 1
    - I think in alberta it might technically be a degree-granting institution. -- nm - link hogthrob Jul 16, 11:47
The only real impact is "state" status has, is generally admissions preference (and lower tuition) to residents. - musubi Jul 16, 11:34 2

You have states? -- nm - Spawn Jul 16, 11:33 3
- respect the scare-quotes. -- nm - Reagen Jul 16, 11:33
- what else would we be an enemy of? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 11:33 1
  - I thought you were an enemy of *our* states. -- nm - Spawn Jul 16, 11:33
Waterloo and Ryerson started as private schools but I can't imagine they still are officially, certainly not in practice -- nm - zork Jul 16, 11:32 5
- Simon Fraser was one I was sure was private, but it isn't. -- nm - Reagen Jul 16, 11:34 4
  - definitely not, but there are a couple in BC. trinity western and quest at least. there's also that mennonite one in MB. -- nm - link hogthrob Jul 16, 11:37 3
    - i just saw that SFU has been accepted into the NCAA -- nm - zork Jul 16, 11:39 1
      - they've been pushing for it for years. they were in that non-NCAA one for a long time. -- nm - link hogthrob Jul 16, 11:48
    - I was probably just conflating it with the Fraser Institute. -- nm - Reagen Jul 16, 11:39
