Ranking

Au hasard de mes recherches sur UofT, je suis tombé sur ce classement des universités canadiennes. On y apprend que l'Université de Toronto a une note générale de B.

De toute cette profusion de critères on peu retenir: qu'UofT est en terme de réputation au top; elle est bien classée pour tout ce qui est ressources informatiques et documentaires, qualité des cours, ouverture d'esprit, moins bien classée pour la qualité de vie/l'ambiance/l'accueil des étrangers :(, et très mal classée pour la nourriture...
