This article appears to have been written by someone at Nipissing University. It use "we" and "you" throughout the article and attempts to advertise the value of Nipissing university. I am making several edits right now to help aid this. I am also removing references to excellence, because I'm pretty sure Nipissing has to be one of the worst universities in Ontario (by academic ranking). Nlsanand 01:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I disagree with the biased statement re: "worst universities in Ontario". There are two controversial ranking surveys (Maclean's and the Globe & Mail), one of which places Nipissing at the top of its category and one that places it last. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.26.222.175 (talk) 21:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

It doesn't matter how good it is either way. It's advertising obviously written by someone with an interest in its success. I should note that I also pulled the "lakes" section out as it had nothing to do with the university itself - they just happen to be in the same town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SnOrfys (talk • contribs) 13:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Even if the Maclean's ranking were correct, all of the universities in the publicly funded Ontario university system are of high quality, and the difference between the "best" and the "worst" is negligible at best. There are some aspects of university life at Nipissing that are indeed "excellent" and would stand up well against any other university in the Province. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.148.250 (talk) 07:54, 12 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I just thought I'd point out that someone has added ``which is very corrupt`` to the end of ``The Student Union Council comprises mainly of two parts: the executive council and the student representatives.`` While from personal experience this may be true it has no place in an encyclopedia entry. I`m going to revert this article to its previous version. Rabbitstorm (talk) 23:19, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
