 " I wish this school would give students a better idea of what their degree path will look like and how they can plan better. The facilities are ancient and they only update the most modern ones while others fall apart. The parking should be free for how expensive classes are. The professors are generally really accommodating and understanding. "

 " It's alright, some programs are better than others (it depends on funding). If you're wanting university to be parties and fun, this isn't really the place, but if it's a stepping stone for you to get to what you actually want to do it's decent. They've been working pretty hard to try and improve student services and accommodations recently, and most profs are very understanding of the fact that students also have lives. "

 " Honestly, a great school if you are just looking to show up and get your work done. If you are looking for a community or the "true university experience" this is definitely not the place. The Wi-Fi is notoriously difficult to hook up to, limited and poor food options, and the professors are researchers first with many struggling to teach well. In terms of research, this place has many opportunities but is often limited to a few students. Being a transfer student, I found that they made the process very difficult and academic advisors offer minimal help overall. Gym is great and lots of natural recreation opportunities being in Calgary. "

 " University of Calgary is a commuter school, so it can be difficult to meet people and make friends. However, it is also cheaper than many other Canadian universities. With professors it is like the lottery, I've had some absolutely terrible profs and some that were incredibly inspiring but for the most part they are just okay. This university is primarily a research university so the professors are not always the best at teaching but they do know their area of expertise very well, so if you are really passionate about engineering you will do well here.

 " I like u of c. Come join us at business school. Stuff is friendly to talk to. It’s just COVID makes things a little bit disconnected. I’m in mba program and I haven’t seven seen my cohort yet. I’m excited to go back to school and fiannly meet them in person. For the few times dropped by school, I fount it was easy to navigate. Calgary is a beautiful city and close to Rockies, lots activities. "
