Wang8, it was unadvisable of you to post that message. You should not have insulted the majority here. Most of chinese students here are studying in Concordia. They, of course, can not tolerate such rank. They naturally suppose either you are a loser for concordia or a student in McGill. If you are the former, it is no surprise that you hate Concordia. If you are the latter, it is easily suspected that you wanna magnify yourself by preaching down concordian.
As to the rank, in my opinion, it has reasonable aspects, for Macleans, as a well-known magazine, would not have simply drawn a rank before investigating carefully. Of course, it is a general rank. Academic quality is just only one of the considered factors. Why concordia was ranked to end of the line? Let's probe the answer. Concordia is unfortunately located in Quebec, a french-speaking province. As one of few english-teaching universities in Quebec, it
is fated that concordia get funds from government much less than that other French-teaching universities do. Money, however, is vital for the development of a unversity. Money therefore becomes the prior consideration of concordia. To recruit more students and force them to take their english courses are the ways to get money. That is why they don't need Toefl and Gre for admission and why they prefer international students and the students from other provinces. It inevitably cause its academic quality down.
Anyway, thanks to concordia, many of us who have past the best age of study can have the chance to continue education. Thanks to concordia, many of us can get loan and bursary. Thanks to concordia, there are more space for us to study. The people who get the admission to the university are lucky, since the competition for the admission between new immigrants is getting worse. So just forget the rank. |
