- Fees were very low and the cost of living in Kingston is very affordable.,
- I understood the true value of Queen's after I graduated. Queen's has a fantastic alumni network that works towards helping their felow grads be successful.,
- In Canada, Queen's is perceived as a prestigious univsersity and it holds true in terms of job hunts. The engineering school is above average with good programs to choose from. My mechanical engineering program was flexible in terms of the courses I could choose. Queen's, located in Kingston has the perfect student-university vibe that I loved. It at the same time was just 2.5 hrs from both Toronto and Ottawa. The fees and cost of Living at Queen's was very low.
- Dislikes:
- I had a rough experience at queen's because I had to go through COVID while studying there. Neverthless, the online courses were just as good and impactful. Queen's and Kingston in general didn't have a vibrant Indian community that left me feeling a bit disenfranchised at times. The University also provides little to no help for placements and career opportunities.
The overall experience was bitter sweet, bitter because we had to go through Covid while at Queen's, sweet because of the opportunities that it opened up for me later.
- Likes:
- Location, reputation, people and culture. Got offered admission to Sauder at UBC and Schulich York, but still chose queens even though it’s lesser known in India. Queen’s commerce is a highly reputable program and tough to get into, not well known outside NA,
- Best university in canada in terms of employment and salaries (specifically smith school of business). It’s a semi-target school for investment banks in USA, more students than UofT go and do IB. Great people, party school, extremely nice location on the lake
- Dislikes:
- The commerce program is secluded and feels like a bubble, not a lot of international students. Far from Toronto, and no coop program, but still good relation with top firms in Canada. Not known outside canada
The people have been amazing and the culture is totally unique to what other universities have. You should message Queens commerce students on LinkedIn to learn more, everyone would be happy to talk. The lake adds to the experience.
there are many reasons for choosing this college. Firstly it was my locational preference because i don't have to struggle with the language thing. secondly it offers multi project and multi year course curriculum that sounds more fascinating for me.
Scholarship:
NA
The city of Kingston where the university is located is very beautiful. And I have talked to some people from that university and one of the major thing everyone mentioned was that the teachers are very passionate. And that is the one thing that matters to me the most about any institute.
Scholarship:
I received an International Student scholarship of $10,000 and it was only based on my class 12 results so there was no application for it.
I felt it was one of the best for the course I wanted to do and apart from that the city was closer to Toronto where most of the job opportunities are.
Scholarship:
Yes, you fill out a general application for major Addison awards.
They had an easy application process and are very well known for their amazing business school. They have high retention rates and high success of employment after graduating. They also offer a joint Bcom and JD program, few unis in the country do. I was too of my class, president of service clubs, and a public speaker. I did the IB program and they transferred my credits easily.
Its reputation and sense of community is something I was immediately attracted to. Also, Queen's prides itself on its traditions and heritage that are part of its history as an educational institution. Also, Queen's is a fair distance away from my hometown so it's not hard to get home if needed but also I'm far away at the same time.
The school spirit is excellent, I think it's unrivaled in Canada. The campus is beautiful, with scenic views and an awesome lake for events. Buildings and infrastructure are excellent as well. Finally, there is an excellent community feel.
Parents went there. Was originally in the con-Ed program, one of few in the province. It was far away from home while being less than a day?s travel. Cost of living was much lower than home, and it had a vibrant queer community.
Knew a lot of friends that planned on attending the university and had a strong interest in their cheerleading team. A great community environment and a very pretty campus felt very welcomed. It was very easy to make friends.
