Good for RRC and UWinnipeg on having vision for downtown. UManitoba - yeah would be nice but I get it. And as others have pointed out the idea of students taking busses back and forth to classes is... not good. THere'd need to be something in place so students who would be mostly downtown would have options to take certain essential / popular courses at the theoretical downtown arm so they don't have to commute back and forth multiple times a day.

I'd love to see UW grow to accommodate more students - right now about 10,000 compared to UManitoba's 30,000 (200 postgrads to 3000 postgrads respectively - rest are undergrads) - I don't know the economics / logistics of how post-secondary educations grow like that but to me that would be an exciting place to start and UW already in position. Does anyone know if thats possible or even realistic - even an additional 5000 students and the expansion that would bring would do wonders.
