University Of Windsor Middle Of The Pack In Rankings

Macleans Magazine is out with its annual rankings of Canada's universities, and when it comes to graduation rates and cost, the University of Windsor is in the middle of the pack.

The magazine compiled the graduation rates at 49 universities across the country.

Queen's University had the highest graduation rate at 89.5%, followed by Western University in London at 86.6%. McGill University rounded up the top three where 85% of students graduated their courses.

The University of Windsor came in 23rd with a graduation rate of 73.5%.

Dead last in the ranking was the University of Winnipeg where only 44.2% of students graduated.

Macleans also added up the cost of tuition, books, rent, food, and even alcohol. Again, the University of Windsor was in the middle of the ranking in 38th place with a cost of $17,291 for out of town students.

Not surprisingly, the top two most expensive schools in Canada are in Toronto. The cost of attending the University of Toronto is $23,485, while at Ryerson it is $23,066 a year.

The cheapest place to go to school if you're an out of town student is the Universite de Sherbrooke for $11,556.

Every year, Macleans also compiles statistics and ranks the best and worst comprehensive schools. This year, there were 15 schools ranked. The University of Windsor came in 14th for the second year in a row.

The top three schools were Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria, and the University of Waterloo.
