6.8 /10

Dislikes:

  • It was a great experience. The issue you are likely to face is that the city, Fredericton is relatively small and hence the amount of opportunities are less as compared to a bigger city. null

Overview

It was a great experience. Especially the overall academics and support from the staff/faculty. The MBA offered here is one of the least expensive ones in the whole of Canada however the ROI entirely depends on the student on how they get the best value out of it.

Scholarship

$5000 for GMAT score

7.3 /10

Overview

The university had an Institute of biomedical engineering. The institute specialized in prosthesis research, which was what I sought to get into. I also sought to work with the professors associated with the institute to supervise my research.

Scholarship

I am fully funded through a scholarship with the university. I received a nomination from my supervisor and was selected to receive the funding.

8.5 /10

Overview

It's the best one in the city and affordable. I didn't want to have to move out of my home town because I don't have the money for that. I also had several friends who attended and graduated and I went to them for their opinions before applying. They all talked of the teachers they enjoyed and told me the pros and cons, helping me decide.
