- I really like the teaching faculty, especially the computing science department. The professors are very helpful.,
- I also like this one thing about my University they put a lot of focus on the student's mental health whether it be a domestic or an international student.
- Dislikes:
- The one thing that I dislike is that there are not many jobs on campus for international students except for the co-op positions. There are many opportunities for domestic students comparatively.
The one particular reason for choosing this University is because it has a tie-up program with a college in India in Chandigarh. Through this program, I was able to complete two years of my Canadian education in India with the same curriculum as Canada. My overall experience at this University has been amazing. I really recommend this University as there are so many things you can find in here. I chose this particular program as it was of my interest and I was able to complete the first two years in India.
- Likes:
- Practical knowledge valued over theoretical knowledge,
- Clean and hygienic campus,
- Good faculty while delivering lectures
- Dislikes:
- Less on-campus accommodation,
- Very high competition for on-campus jobs,
- Fewer placement records from the campus
I chose this university as the program schedule was what I really wanted to study; the weather is pretty good compared to other provinces. On-campus classes are more than in other colleges/universities where the study is half online.
- Likes:
- This Post Baccalaureate course in Supply chain management was available only at TRU and it’s located in British Columbia, an important international hub in logistics and exports. Job opportunities are comparatively higher in this province when compared to other provinces.,
- The university is diverse and involves students from different parts of the world. Staff are really supportive and are open to help in whichever way possible. Qualified professors & lecturers and the university is located in a scenic city with lots of explore.
- Dislikes:
- University tuition fee is really expensive and comparatively fewer jobs in and around Kamloops city. When looked at housing costs, on campus is a good place to live, but again the cost is massive when compared to the amenities available.
I have completed one year of study and it has indeed been a roller coaster of an experience. There are ups and downs but in the end the focus shouldn’t divert from the goal. There may be days when you may feel lonely but it’s important to remember why you’re there. Focus on your goals, speak to family and friends, work and strive hard to achieve your dreams.

- It was one of the best universities to pursue MBA in British Columbia without a GMAT. As I decided very late to move to Canada I had not planned to take GMAT. This helped me to still pursue MBA from one of the best universities in BC,
- Some professors were extremely Knowledgeable. The campus was great. Good exposure to extra curricular activities like basketball games, LEAP, etc. I made good friends, have good relationships with my professors.
- Dislikes:
- There were no courses that would actually prepare us students for our future jobs. So many software were not included in our courses to prepare us for the job roles in future. In a technologically advanced era, the students could benefit a lot if SQL, Tableau and Python like softwares are taught to us.
Overall experience was okay, for the fees that I paid to become an MBA graduate I had a lot of expectations regarding learning a lot of things that could actually help me get a job sooner.
I contacted CareerBrick in Delhi, and they helped me with the admission process. Gave IELTS after studying for 3-4 days from an online platform called Magoosh. The admission process was relatively easy. Got the confirmation from the university in a couple of months, and that's it. Also, I gave my GMAT too, although it isn't a prerequisite for admission at the university.
I applied with my engineering transcript and IELTS scores for admission with help of an agent from India. It took six months to know a decision from the university's side. I selected this institution because being an engineer this is the only institution that takes non-business graduates for higher studies in programs such as post-baccalaureate diplomas.
TRU provides options to work on and off campus. They also have a co-op program where we can gain career related work experience before graduating
TRU is one of the best experiences anyone can get. For an average student like me, you get more than average rating University which has a good campus and can explore a lot of things in the University from joining clubs to being part of all the activities. One of the other reasons is diversity which is difficult to find in many colleges in Canada but fortunately, TRU will give that opportunity, especially in non-business courses.
I came from Ukraine so the price is a good reason to choose TRU. It is cheaper than most Canadian major universities but still, it offers a lot of programs and activities. That fact that I had really good grades in school helps me still in studying and I did not have any problems with getting in a course.
