During our visit to Calgary, we had the opportunity to experience a drive through, and it was truly impressive.
This university is a joke, and I pity those who go here. I myself dropped out in my 4th year to finally head to Europe to start over. (I may sadly have to come back someday due to sunk costs). I got bullied and harassed by professors, called a "useless broken kitten that no one would ever pick up from the animal shelter," etc etc. The university involved various associate deans and hired lawyers and such just to gaslight me on these issues, so I sincerely apologize to note that students' tuition fees are going towards useless legal fees. But hey, where I'm headed next to study engineering and physics, tuition is free. Just wish I'd gotten that heads-up earlier in life. Do not go here unless you truly have zero other options. It's just a bunch of powerful people drunk on power while the students faint of starvation because they can't afford the tuition fees and food
The buildings of this library look quite old outside. But inside of library is quite new and comfy.
Great university and campus! Very nice faculty and overall great atmosphere. The cafeteria is also very nice!
This review has nothing against the institution itself. But everything against the parking authority on campus. I paid for parking in an area that was clearly marked as public parking, and was given a ticket regardless- when I called to refute the ticket, I was told that area was meant for contractors and not students (I am not a student).
I have to pay a ludicrous amount of money (~$100/semester) to access a website to do graded homework while paying 800 bucks for the course which requires a textbook that I also paid a ludicrous amount for. Also some profs just don't teach/are bad at teaching which the student union is trying to change. Enrollment process was nightmarish with little to no easily findable guides for those without previous university experience in the household. Undergrad also has a reputation for being miserable. It's best to transfer here after completing a few years elsewhere if you really want a degree from UofC.
UofC is a rich intellectual space for social, entrepreneurial, scientific research and development.
