Map of the Week: University admission: Ryerson

Map: University admissions: Ryerson

This map begins a three-week series on admission to (update: three of the city's four universities)*, looking at registrations from last September. We will go on to look at York and U of T by campuses.

The first thing I notice is that rates are consistently higher in Vaughan and Markham than in the city itself. In the 416 area code, Ryerson attendance rates are low in the city's northwest generally, and also in the neighbourhoods along Yonge St. stretching north from Bloor to the 401.

* A reader points out that OCAD is a university, something I wasn't aware of.

[Thane]

The city has four universities, not three.

UofT, York, Ryerson, and OCAD (yes, it's a university).

[Melanie]

The city has five universities - UofT, York, Ryerson, OCAD, and the University of Guelph-Humber!
