University of Calgary, Bachelor of Design in City Innovation

I chose this university as the program I’m in is brand new, providing a fresh look at the built environment as a whole, unlike other universities. University is a unique experience. It’s much different than schooling before. You don’t know everyone in your school let alone even your program, making it much for self sufficient than previous schooling. It’s a challenging experience but feels much more rewarding than high school, with assignments posing actual difficulty and high level thinking requirements.

Course Curriculum

8

Considering the brand new nature of my program, I believe it is very relevant. The course content focuses on current issues in the real world rather than ones from a decade ago when the world was much different.

Faculty

8

Although I am not sure of the exact ratio of faculty to students, I know that they are incredibly helpful to the overall student body. Professors are personable, providing a one-on-one connection with students and administrators are excited to help, at least the ones connected to my school.

Campus Life

7

The campus is fairly lively, with events held by clubs and organizations on a fairly frequent basis. The university has a reputation for being a commuter campus which means that some days it can be quite quiet around the grounds. Besides that, everything else is top-notch with high-speed wifi, clean facilities, and a selection of food and beverage vendors.

Placement

8

Since my program is brand new, there is no one in the workforce yet so I am unable to answer this question.

Accommodation

Off Campus
8

I have no idea the average rental price on campus as though I don’t live there. However, I know that the average apartment in this city can range from 600-1000$ a month for rental on the low end.

Exams

- I did not take any tests for my university however, international students have to be proficient in English at a University level. I believe the students have to take a test for this, though I'm not sure which one. - Requirements: I did not have to submit any of these things- SOP, LOR or CV for my program. The most I had to submit was my high school transcript.

Fees

8000

Scholarship

I received the Rutherford Scholarship for achieving over an 80% average in all three years of high school.
