Laurier loses number one spot in student satisfaction for Canadian universities

/

The 2021 Macleanโ€™s Magazineย university rankingsย were released on Oct. 8, which ranks all universities across Canada in various categories related to postsecondary education and campus life.ย ย 

While Wilfrid Laurier University saw increases in reputational rankings, they dropped to number 5 in comprehensive student satisfaction. 

In 2019, Laurier wasย voted number oneย in student satisfaction for the fourth year in a row.ย ย 

โ€œWhile we were hopeful that we would retain our No. 1 position, there are always insights to be gained from rankings,โ€ President Deborah MacLatchy saidย in an email statementย sent to Laurier students.

โ€œWe will be reviewing all the Macleanโ€™s rankings in detail in the coming days and will continue our conversations with students so we can work together to deliver the support and learning opportunities that will help you to develop during your university journey and beyond,โ€ the email statement concluded.  

Students have been engaging with and reacting to the release of the rankings on theย Spotted at Laurierย Twitter account and Laurierย subreddit.ย ย ย
