Queen's is 3rd tier school internationally.

Here are some facts:

1) Queen's was ranked 300th by Shanghai's ranking this year.
2) Queen's was ranked 185th by THES last year.
3) Queen's didnt even get anked by Newsweek
4) Queen's was ranked in 5th in 2005 Mclean's
5) 0 Nobel Prize Winner (Queen's University at Belfast has 2)

Queen's is clearly 3rd tier school

Below are some other references:
1) Gourman Report Ranking of Canadian Universities
2) Why Kingston sucks
3) YouTube - Queen's University Rick Mercer Monday Report Pt 2

DONT COME TO THIS SCHOOL YOU WILL REGRET

Go to Queen's University at Belfast.

1) QU at Belfast is a member of Russell Group (group of UK's elite universities)
2) has produced Nobel Prize Winners.

Even the Queen's University at CHARLOTTE is better in my oppinion

Well, you know what they say about opinions...

How old are you and what school do you go to? Your comprehension and induction are certainly..."3rd tier".

What's attractive about Queen's to me is the business school, who gives a crap how many Nobel prize winners a business school has produced

Some of the most outstanding PhDs, who have gone on to serve as professors at tippy top colleges around the world, did their first degree at Queen's. Lots of them. Including as professors at McGill. It provides a fantastic undergraduate education experience, and the school really focuses on treating them well.

The OP is merely a student at a rival school. They love to hate each other.
