 " Overall, I enjoyed my time at the University of Ottawa. I do wish that they updated some of their older buildings because some of them don't have elevators. The campus is downtown near Rideau Centre (mall). So there were plenty of opportunities to go out for lunch with friends or go shopping. I do wish that the university offered more student research positions. I also hope that they allow for more virtual classes. "

 " The university offers a great course sequence for my program and I find that theres a good selection of majors available. As an international student, the selling point for me was the CO-OP opportunities. Also great for bilingual or French speakers. Overall the school is a good place to get your stuff done. "

 " Good place to study and close to home for me. Being located downtown is a plus because there are many restaurants and places to eat nearby. Administrative staff can sometimes be confusing and contacting them online is not always straightforward, although they do try their best to help. "

 " A very nice university with many professors that care about their students success. Great location right beside the mall. Many study spots and enough computer labs. It can be a bit cold to walk from one building to another in winter, but there are some connections between buildings which makes it nicer. The bus stop is right in front of campus. "

 " Overall a decent school and program. Most of the profs do a good job in making the classes stimulating and genuinely care about your progress in their classes. Lots of group work in this program, specifically. "
