It's unfortunate that it's kind of separate from the rest of the city but further development on campus should help that.

Yeah, while the U of R location near the lake is nice, it's unfortunate that it is on the edge of the city. On the other hand, it does have a lot of room to grow in the future.
While the UofR has grown quite a bit in the last few decades, it is missing one thing the UofS has: graduate programs. The UofR has actually caught up to the UofS in undergraduates, I believe, but still lags far behind when it comes to graduate studies. There are some, of course, but nothing of the size and quality of Saskatoon.
I like both cities! I think Saskatoon has the better downtown in terms of activity and attractions (though I like the more grid-like nature of Regina), but Regina has the nicer park for summer activities I think. Both are nice places to be in.
