Ryerson is a university with a wide spectrum of personalities and mentalities. Some individuals have greatness on their minds while others find satisfaction with mediocrity. Due to it being a commuter school, many do not feel connected, but to find connection you must seek it. You know what you are getting into when you accept an offer to a school in the heart of the 4th most populated city in all of North America. There will be smokers, there will be crackheads. I'd say Ryerson is not a traditional university in any sense, but thats where our pride should come from. From not being traditional. Ryerson has all types of people. You may say their priorities suck, they might say yours do.
