Yes, but this Ryerson student says that Dundas station is on the Yonge line.
Don't know why they didn't name "St. George" Station after the "University of Toronto", if they named a station after "York University"?
Ryerson today is very different from the Ryerson my dad graduated from in the 90s.I think of it as a community college because it was when I went to post secondary. Of course, the school has grown to have many disciplines outside of the narrow confines of a traditional university and Sheldon Levy has built it into a school with a huge physical presence, and significant financial backing. Maybe I'll have time for a course or two some day.
Because this is a more recent thing to name stations after a destination, though i would not consider York university a destination. St george is called that because its the name of the cross street to Bloor which makes sense as do the other stations that are named for the cross streetsDon't know why they didn't name "St. George" Station after the "University of Toronto", if they named a station after "York University"?
Osgoode, St Andrew and St Patrick were named after churches, apparently.

Yes, Osgoode was named after the law school. St. Patrick and St. Andrew are named after their respective wards, which in turn were named after the churches located there.I thought Osgoode was named after the law school right at Queen and University. St Andrew and St Patrick are each in honour of the respective area Wards they inhabit.

It would have been interesting if there were a St. David station.

It would have made the Welsh happy! St. David is the patron saint of Wales. (St. George: England; St. Andrew: Scotland; St. Patrick: Ireland)

Ryerson was never a community college. It was a degree-granting Polytechnic Institute before it became a full-fledged university. Polytechnics - and there are many in North America, sometimes called "Institutes of Technology - are not, and never were, the same things as community colleges, like Sheridan, Humber, and Seneca.
