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!
