- It’s an interesting place to be. Faculty members for the most part are fairly supportive and the team of students running clubs and organizations are successful at getting people engaged.
- Dislikes:
- The commuter campus aspect of the campus. There is often little engagement between faculties because of this and a difficult transit experience for those living on the other side of the city.
Campus Life:
The campus is fairly lively, with events held by clubs and organizations on a fairly frequent basis. The university has a reputation for being a commuter campus which means that some days it can be quite quiet around the grounds. Besides that, everything else is top-notch with high-speed wifi, clean facilities, and a selection of food and beverage vendors.
Hostel:
I have no idea the average rental price on campus as though I don’t live there. However, I know that the average apartment in this city can range from 600-1000$ a month for rental on the low end.
- Likes:
- I like that my university is very student friendly and has a lot of resources available for international and domestic students such as writing support, literature review, financial support, food bank etc.,
- Also, they have a very affordable tuition compared to other universities.,
- They offer great international support services such as visa services.,
- It has a diverse community.
- Dislikes:
- They do not have the best placement opportunities for students.,
- They do not have a big infrastructure like many other bigger institutions in Canada.,
- They do not pick a lot of international students for my program.
Campus Life:
There are a lot of campus events and activities. There is a huge library, fully equipped WIFI that works well in different parts of the campus, there is a gym, sports arena, multiple food courts, indoor walking facility during winters, bookstore, etc. There is also a SPA, a bar, a therapy center, religious center, neurodivergent space, women's center, and doctor's clinic.
Hostel:
I live in a privately rented apartment 3 train stops away from the university and it costs me 1022 CAD per month. I do not share with anyone. Average cost needed per month is 1500 per month if the student is sharing a space.
- Likes:
- Honestly, this was the top most university in Canada which accepted me. Funding policy for research students is much higher as compared to expenses. I choose the thesis based program because i like the research and i want to go in it. Moreover, most of the thesis/research based programs are fully funded, so i had not to worry about my finances,
- I like maximum things here, but the best thing is the accessibility of the facilities, I can come to my grad office at any time to work whether its midnight or weekend.
- Dislikes:
- I think, these year university is accepting much more students, which basically effect the teacher to student ratio. There is not any on-campus recruitment drive, so think two times if your program need huge investments
Campus Life:
There are lots of clubs and societies that organize different events; you will see the clubs organizing social events and societies organizing industrial visits and networking events. Few libraries have enough quiet space for studying. On the whole campus, your phone is always connected to the university's high-speed wifi, from which you can easily access research papers, books and other important articles. As for the sports, I don't know any common sport that you can not play here, but these all are indoors, since here most of the time over the year outside accumulated with snow.
Hostel:
I am living in a shared house with 3 people(including me). We have rent of 650$/month and its main floor, and the house is at walking distance from the university. I would suggest the same because it has a private room. Here, on-campus housing is a bit expensive as compared to private. I also know some students live in apartments to save money, but in that case, you have to share the room.
Campus Life:
I play basketball there are also many clubs and activities. There is a really nice Library.
Hostel:
Its 1000 per month

- I choose this university, as I wanted to do my masters, I completed my bachelor's in University too , and my main goal is to do masters and it's only to be done from a University.,
- I like the campus of my university, which is big and so accessible, there is a bus route inside and in front of every unit we get a stop for different locations in the city. It has world class facility as well as every building has a place to have a sit and complete our professional acadamic work or anything as there are big sofa as well as tables to sit , the structure of the building is as good as any corporate offices in the Downtown, calgary.
- Dislikes:
- The University is too big and maps doesn't work here, so proper guidance should be there for the students to show the building name as well as map of the building or as we can see in the mall , we can have a big display in the entrance of the building to show the map
Campus Life:
The campus life is so good here , as there are events that were organized again and again and they mail us regularly to get updated.
Hostel:
The University provides accommodations to the students who ask for but they are way costly may be 1000$ per month.

- Good scholarship, only university in the Canadian top 10 with tuition fees below $25k/yr for engineering, 95% graduate employment rate and 94% retention rate.
Campus Life:
Very good plenty to do in every way possible. Sports, recreation, movies anything you can think of. The university has its own football stadium and and Olympic ice skating ring also hosted the Olympics back in 90’s.
Hostel:
On campus accommodation is limited and expensive but really nice to have as there is heavy snow fall almost all of fall and winter terms and temps as low as -35 C can be expected in the winter so it is really nice to be on campus as all the residence builds are connected via tunnels to all buildings on campus never have to go out in the cold.
- Likes:
- The specialization is what attracted me to this University.,
- The opportunities given to improve our skills. The student support here is great so far. Professors here have open-door policies, making it easier for us to seek guidance and clarification outside of class.
- Dislikes:
- The university has a strong co-operative education and internship program that allows students to gain practical work experience in their chosen fields but these are helpful mainly for those in research field. Despite all these as a student doing masters with course work, I don't have that much opportunities to gain some practical knowledge since these are limited for us.
Campus Life:
There are many clubs and their events, many places to focus and read, etc. The libraries are having plethora of books to choose from including topics of spiritual and mental wellness. WiFi facility is available throughout the campus which is a great thing for the students.
Hostel:
Your rent basically depends on the area you are choosing to stay. There are places to stay near the campus itself it will be a bit expensive. Probably more than 550 cad and other utility charges. I live about 1.5km away from campus but it's near to a Mall so it is 510cad+ 40% utility charges . So expect a total of around 600 and Groceries worth 150. There will be places with less rent though but I just chose this place because its 10 minutes walking distance to my work.
- Likes:
- Offered full funding. Less financially strainfull. Got to work on a unique project.,
- Big emphasis on research, diversity and acceptance of other cultures. Lot of activities to do in the campus. The proffs a really well qualified and lot of research projects. Every major festival or event is celebrated within the university and dedicated societies are there for each cultural backgrounds.
- Dislikes:
- Recent fee hikes has been pretty bad. The weather is pretty terrible with big flactutions. Winters are especially pretty harsh in Calgary. Campus residence can be pretty expensive. Housing in general is not that expensive outside campus but public transit is pretty bad.
Campus Life:
All facilities are state of the art and lot of activities in different fields are available.
Hostel:
Rent 1000 dollars Groceries- 300
- Likes:
- Good ranking, One of the most beautiful province of Canada, less tax.
- Dislikes:
- I would say there is no particular reason to dislike the university. It offers us everything a student expects and wishes for. The one thing that I do not like is how cold Calgary gets during the winters, bone-chilling cold!! It stays around negative thirty for most of the winters. That is one thing to keep in mind while selecting this university. Although, Canada is a very nice and diverse country, winters are one thing to be afraid of.
Campus Life:
The campus life is amazing. Huge library, with personal rooms to study, create art, and much more. Events throughout the year, very lively. WIFI is okay, not the best. Amazing sports facilities, one of the best campus infrastructure.
Hostel:
I rented a room, ranges anywhere from $550-$1300.
