Hi there! I am pretty confused as to what university I should pick.. Basically here's my plan for the future, and some pros and cons of each university.
I wish to find a decent/middle ground job in the medical field,(whether it be registered nurse, therapy, radiation, biotech etc.) I don't plan on doing Medical School, or any post-graduate school like dentistry school, etc. I plan on doing either a Masters Degree, or to go in an applied Healths College to gain practical experience.
I don't know if I should do York or Ryerson, since I want to have a good GPA.
York Biology Program- Pros - nice campus. - easy to commute - has a decent rep. - has a wide range of the different science programs.
Cons - large classes, may be slightly harder to get a good GPA. - no co-op
Ryerson Biology Program- Pros - love the campus, maybe a bit more than York's. - smaller classes, seems easier to get a better GPA in comparison to York. - co-op - lots of jobs available on campus - can commute to & from as well.
Cons - not that great of a science school. (about 3 science programs) - was a community college, so not sure about it's reputation
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

If those are two choices I have, definitely Ryerson. Co-op is definately a huge plus point . Reputation for undergrad does not really matter. Ryerson is a good, decent school. Who cares if York has more Science programs ; I have a feeling it won't be long before they go on strike again!! Good Luck!
