Is the best person you would ever want as a (best friend). He is very shy but once he gets to know you he is the most hyper as ever. He is very loving and will never let you down.he is very giving so you don’t even have to bribe him.

The faculty with the most innovative, faced-paced, and challenging degree programs at Ryerson University.

Contrary to popular stereotypes that Ryerson is a "high school", the Engineering degree very much entails a curriculum obviously only found in higher education institutions.

Engineering students can usually be found drowning in work, unable to attend parties, whining about their GPA, and not engaged in romantic relationships with other students.
Person 1: He goes to Ryerson University.

Non-eng student: ...Oh okay, maybe some other time I guess ;)
Girls: Probably not.

A college that still thinks its a university, much like western being a 4 star vacation resort. Engineering is good at ryerson, but overall is a very mediocre school, especially the business program.

ned ryersoning 

Share definition Flag
That thing where you keep meeting someone when drinking and introduce yourself, forgetting you've already met them because you were drunk last time you met. Based on Groundhog's Day where Ned Ryerson (Stephen Tobolowsky) keeps introducing himself to Bill Murray's character, unaware they've been in the same situation many times before.

It works better if you end the awkward re-introduction with "Bing"
"Hi, I'm Mac"
"I know."
"We've met before? Was I drunk?"
"Yes to both."
"So I'm Ned Ryersoning you right now, arnt I?"
"Yes."
"Bing."

Ryerson University 

Share definition Flag
A university in the heart of downtown Toronto. And contrary to popular belief, Ryerson *IS* a university, albeit a very non-traditional one at that which makes this institution unique.

Ryerson is aptly located amidst the hustle-and-bustle of the city, which has often labeled Ryerson University as having "street cred." This is a school where, on comparison with other insitutions in the area, the students are not snobby, not obnoxious, and just generally really open-minded.

Ryerson is well known for its Business, Image Arts, and Media (Journalism, Radio, etc) programs. Ryerson also hires some of the coolest professors to lecture the courses (the Pop Culture prof looks and acts like Jack Black, seriously!) Ryersonians are collectively known as the Ryerson Rams, who happen to kick quite a lot of arse. Ryerson is also particularly well-known for boasting a fine-looking student body. ;)

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
