[edit] Structure
The article should start with a good introduction, giving the full complete official name of the college/university, detail about location (in suburb, downtown, where?), founder and founding name, and affilation with any larger university system, if applicable. Give other names for which the university may be known (e.g. Cal, and bold them, too). Also, add a few facts about the college/university that make it unique.
Next, there is a table about the college/university. A template for the table can be found at the bottom of this page.
Sections of the article:
- Campus -- Describe the overall shape and size of the campus. Mention any famous buildings and their architects.
- Organization -- Mention the administration, including leading officials. If this college/university has a special organizational structure, such as a residential college system, then it should be mentioned here. Then, in bullet point form, list the schools, colleges, etc. of this university. If appropriate, also list the faculties and departments at the university. If there is a special course system or requisits for enrollment, mention them here, too. If the university is part of a larger system (as in University of California), mention this connection and provide requisite links.
- Students and faculty -- State the number (and any other useful statistics) of the students. Distinguish between undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students; also state the number of faculty members. Distinguish between tenure/nontenured, full- and part-time (if possible).
- Sports, clubs, and traditions -- Mention the sports team(s) of the college/university and what is notable about them. Here is also a good place to mention specific traditions of the college/university, like students' union activities, a student newspaper, fraternities, regular activities, etc. The heading may be changed accordingly in regard to the importance of sports, clubs, traditions, students' unions etc. For example, alternative headings could be Students' Union, Sports and Traditions or Students' Union Activities.
- History -- Describe the history of the college/university, including noteworthy milestones in its development.
- Noted alumni -- Bullet list of Alumni that are notable/famous. Mention the graduation date and degree and give a short description why they are famous.
- Noted faculty -- Bullet list of active and former members of faculty that are notable. If they are alumni/alumnae, mention them here in parenthesis, including the degree and graduation date. For all give a short description why they are famous.
- External links -- Give a link to the website of the college/university, preferable in English language.

[edit] concerns
hi, the statement "and average acceptance rate is 13.6%" is false. acceptance rate is = (# of people who got aceepted) / (# of people who applied) NOT (# of people enrolled) / (# of people who applied), according to The Princeton Review's The Best 361 Colleges, U of T has acceptance rate of 66% and McGill has 51%. It is very unlikely that Queen's have 13.6%. From INFO Magazine if you devide # of people enrolled over people applied, you get approximately 13%.Therefore i think what he/she meant was the enrollment rate. So, i am deleting that statement.

- As the article explains, the University refused to provide the information, however, because it is a public institution, Macleans simply issues Access to Information Act requests, and were given the information they needed. -- Chabuk [ T • C ] 06:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
