Present day

Today, Queen's has approximately 13,000 full-time undergraduate students and 2,500 graduate students. The undergraduate programs offer studies in a variety of arts, science, engineering, and business programs. The university has an extensive graduate program in these areas, and additionally in its medical, law, and business schools.

Queen's is regarded as one of the best universities in Canada; first year students almost always have the highest average entering marks of Canadian universities. The average entrance grade for 2004 was 89%

McGill has dominated in the men's and overall categories, while the Queen's women's boat has been defeated only once.

Nevertheless, the two share a successful publishing house (McGill-Queen's University Press).

Frosh Week

Once first year students at Queen's have moved into residence and become acquainted with some of the new people they meet, Frosh Week begins. First year students travel with a team of upper year students (called Gaels if in Arts, Frecs if in Applied Science, Bosses if in Commerce etc.) who take their Frosh Groups on excursions throughout the Queen's campus and into the Kingston community. This experience helps students feel comfortable in their new home away from home and includes activities such as mud games, shaving cream wars, house parties, scavenger hunts and more.

Smokers

Smokers, This word has other meanings: see smoker. Smokers are a reasonably common, although archaic, term for social events, generally at universities. Often they had the added implication that it was a male-only event, for example frat parties. Queens University, Kingston continue to have social events called smokers, although... a common term for social gatherings, occur at Queen's and serve two purposes.

The first purpose is to raise money for an event, group, or charity. The money is raised through the collection of "cover" or admission at the door. One event that money is raised for is the fourth year "Science Formal (http://www.appsci.queensu.ca/prospective/tradition/sciformal)", one of the biggest events for a Queen's Engineering student.

The second purpose is to give a group a venue to gather at. For example, First Year Engineering students will gather to celebrate at Clark Hall Pub after first semester exams for the "Jacket Smoker". At the "Jacket Smoker" the students enjoy the satisfaction of finishing the exams and being allowed to wear their Engineering Jackets (http://www.appsci.queensu.ca/prospective/tradition/jackets/).

Smokers are often held at Queen's Campus Pubs (i.e. Clark Hall Pub is the traditional hangout of engineers at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It is run by the Queens Engineering Society (EngSoc), and is located in Clark Hall, above the Campus Bookstore. The old EngSoc Lounge is also in Clark Hall (with the new one...

At off campus bars only a percentage of the money raised will go to the event, group, or charity.

It is expected to take over ten years from design to completion.

The plans include the building of a six-lane track, an Olympic-sized arena, 25-metre pool, eight basketball courts, substantially more gathering and meeting space than is currently available, fitness, aerobic, locker and food space, and a new home for the School of Physical and Health Education.

The university has also unveiled a slogan for the centre, which is "Where mind, body and spirit come together".

The Alma Mater Society of Queens University, otherwise known as the AMS, is the central undergraduate student government at Queen’s University in Canada. It is the oldest organization of its kind in Canada. Its roots... Alma Mater Society promised the University that students would pay for $30-million of the Queen’s Centre cost. This was controversial because part of the student body felt the project to be mismanaged. The proposed method of collection, dubbed the Queen's Centre fee, involved charging each undergraduate student a mandatory fee of $71 every year for the next 5 years, and $141 each per year after that. Opponents of the fee argued that:

• the $30-million could be raised through an existing fee that individual students can elect not to pay;
• the fee was a hidden tuition increase; and
• it was unfair to make students of the present pay for a building that would be completed after their graduation.

The AMS decided to hold a vote on the Queen's Centre fee at its An Annual General Meeting, commonly abbreviated as AGM, also known as the annual meeting, is a meeting that official bodies and associations involving the public are often required by law (In what country?) to hold.

This decision was decried by some as guaranteeing the fee's approval, and was controversial because the A President-elect is a candidate who has officially been elected President, but who has not yet acceded to his Office, as it is still occupied by the out-going President. Analogous titles refer to offices other than the presidency. There are also Prime Ministers-elect, Mayors-elect, Governors-elect... president-elect of the AMS, Ethan Rabidoux, seconded the motion to hold the vote at the AGM—bureaucatic technicalities were cited—despite having opposed it while campaigning for the presidency.

During the period leading up to the vote, both "Yes" and "No" campaigns were run, with the University producing materials that stated that the Queen's Centre project will not be able to continue without "student support". Proponents of the fee, including the University, also referred to Grant Hall (explicitly noting that it was to be the venue of the vote), which was built using student funding and alluded to student loyalty. Opponents of the fee (who had to fund the "No" campaign out of their own pockets because it was not a referendum issue) noted Rabidoux's renege and the opinions listed above; futhermore, they called the motion to hold the vote at the AGM an attempt to circumvent This article deals with democracy in its modern sense.

The controversy led to one of the highest attendances of an annual general meting in the University’s history. While AGMs normally do not attract many more people than those directly involved in the student government, over 750 students showed up to vote on the fee, but most left after the vote on the fee. The motion passed 545 to 212, allowing the Groundbreaking is a traditional ceremony in many cultures that celebrates the first day of construction for a building or other project.

Various members of the student body claim that a dangerous precedent has been set for the AMS to pass further motions through a similar process.
