<p>T990, only the first year classes are large and that's at the McGill, Queen's and U of T's and their counterparts. Liberal arts colleges in Canada have just as small classes, and again it's generally only freshman classes at the other universities here that are large lectures. Faculty-student ratios at McGill, Queen's and U of T are generally skewed by first year class numbers. Classes are relativitly small after your freshman year.Granted, not as small as the classes I attended at Columbia, but still small.</p>
<p>Also, according to Maclean's magazine, November 15, 2004, 98.6% of U of T faculty hold PHd's. At Mcgill it's 94.3 and Queen's it's 95.3. So I don't agree that these schools profs don't hold PHd's. The numbers speak for themselves. </p>
<p>I am curious as to why you would want your profs at a Canadian university to hold degrees from U.S. universities?</p>
