I know school names doesn't justify how great a university is but let's just slack off a little bit and discuss which school has the best name..?  I would say McMaster. The word 'Master' makes it soo nice to hear. LOL

I like St. Francis Xavier when you shorten it to St.FX. Mount Allison sounds kind of cool too.

LOL I was gonna say McMaster as well also because of the MASTER part Queens sounds snobbish to me maybe because of the royalty name Carleton reminds me of Fresh Prince of Bel Air  University of Ontario Institute of Technology sounds very technologically advanced

Acadia. It comes up first alphabetically (among schools in Canada), which seriously helps if you are trying to recruit international students who look at an alphabetized list of all schools in Canada!  And then what's not to love about a university named after the Acadians that's built on land they were forced off of!
FAQ's: 1. Will I get in? See: electronicinfo.ca for Ontario schools. If you have a couple percent above the marks there and it's not looking at supplementary, the answer is almost certainly yes. 2. Anything else: Google it before asking.

St. Francis Xavier is pretty cool... mainly just because you get the X ring when you graduate from there, but I guess that doesn't make it a cool name. St. FX definitely sounds cool though.

I'm not a huge fan of their academic programs, but Mount Allison has a cool name. It makes me feel like it should be a really tall, foreboding building somewhere in the North....even though it's not.
