It’s exam time! For those students toiling away at our post-secondary institutions, the next few weeks will be spent with noses dug into textbooks, coffee shops crowded with caffeinated co-eds, and a general sense of dread.
In honour of the season, this week’s post looks into which Canadian universities are performing the best on Twitter.
In order to quantify the which universities are getting the most bang for their buck on Twitter, we compiled the most recent enrollment numbers from the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, as well as the number of followers per primary Twitter account as of April 2, 2014.

The school with the highest number of followers per capita? One that also ranks high on the National Survey of Student Engagement – Royal Roads University.
