Untitled[edit]

Vic's official name is Victoria University in the University of Toronto, not Victoria University at the University of Toronto. [1] Darkcore 04:24, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Why all the comparitive information? The whole "most attractive college" business is opinion and the highest admissions average stuff 'of the large colleges' doesn't make much sense since Vic is in the middle of the seven colleges. If we stay with facts we are safer. 3900 students instead of one of the biggest. I also don't think that the per capita scholorship thing is right either, 125 scholorships for 3900 students at Vic vs 90 for 1600 students at Trinity. Seems per capita on a strictly numbers basis favours Trinity. Why compare with Trinity at all? On what basis is the academic difference minimal? Since when and how for how long? Why not compare with all colleges or other universities? I think you know where I am going with this. Lets stick with useful information. I would like to clean up a little bit of the comparative stuff but will leave this comment up for a while before I do.

Largest Student Centre?[edit]

The article states that Vic has the largest student centre, but is it in fact larger than student centres at UTM and UTSC (which are controlled by UTMSU and SCSU respectively)? Those student centres are quite large, but I don't know the square footage for sure so I didn't edit the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.77.244 (talk) 05:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Vic crest.gif[edit]

Image:Vic crest.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Gate house monopoly on traditions?[edit]

The traditions and culture section under residences is dominated by discussion of the now dissolute Gate House; if there are no other traditions remaining, shouldn't this section be headed to reflect the nature of its content. In addition, I have taken the liberty of softening the indignant language of this section and explaining the mention of the "snow penis" that seemed to imply foreknowledge of that particular incident's importance, although I'm not sure it's important enough, four years down the line, to be included at all.

College versus University[edit]

This article is misleading as to its structure (Victoria College versus Victoria University) and relationship with the University of Toronto. Victoria University and Victoria College are not the same thing, although "Vic" may refer to either. Victoria University is a separate corporate entity from the University of Toronto, composed of Victoria College and Emmanuel College, which owns its own campus adjacent to the University of Toronto campus. It, along with others, is "federated" with the University of Toronto. Victoria College is an arts college of Victoria University in the University of Toronto. One of several. Victoria College provides programs within the University of Toronto's Faculty of Arts and Science. Emmanuel College is a theological college "[r]ooted in the ecumenical heritage of The United Church of Canada" to quote its website. Hebbgd (talk) 14:09, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop using the term "federated college."[edit]

This is an article about Victoria University, not Victoria College. Additionally, the term college in Ontario refers to a different type of institution, similar to an American community college, or a CEGEP. VicU is a federated university to the University of Toronto, consisting of two colleges under it -- it is not a federated college in and of itself. --@Lllibéral Lllibéral (talk) 06:16, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
