- Offered full funding. Less financially strainfull. Got to work on a unique project.
- Big emphasis on research, diversity and acceptance of other cultures. Lot of activities to do in the campus. The proffs a really well qualified and lot of research projects. Every major festival or event is celebrated within the university and dedicated societies are there for each cultural backgrounds.
Dislikes
- Recent fee hikes has been pretty bad. The weather is pretty terrible with big flactutions. Winters are especially pretty harsh in Calgary. Campus residence can be pretty expensive. Housing in general is not that expensive outside campus but public transit is pretty bad.
My experience has been pretty great at the university. I was fully funded so I didn't have much financial strain. Great infrastructure, and facilities all state of the art. Calgary in general is a vibrant city but has pretty bad weather. Winter can be pretty rough here.

- Good ranking, One of the most beautiful province of Canada, less tax.
Dislikes
- I would say there is no particular reason to dislike the university. It offers us everything a student expects and wishes for. The one thing that I do not like is how cold Calgary gets during the winters, bone-chilling cold!! It stays around negative thirty for most of the winters. That is one thing to keep in mind while selecting this university. Although, Canada is a very nice and diverse country, winters are one thing to be afraid of.
A life changing experience. I grew a lot here. The people, community, atmosphere, everything is on par if not better than the best universities out there.
I knew professor here at University of Calgary as I did internship under him in my 3rd year of B.tech. Its an different experience from a typical Indian college, here everything is run by students, there is no concept of placement, students nee to approach company for jobs and internships. One can get to experience best faculty at UCalgary and best infrastructure and one of the cleanest city in Canada.
Faculties with high research and analysis knowledge, university support system (GSA & ISA department) and low fees
I got offered funding which significantly reduced the financial burden. I got acceptance by American universities also but I preferred Canada.
I wanted to get into this university because of the course structure and the city. Calgary is one of the best places in Canada to live. The fees are also low than other universities.
I chose the University of Calgary because it offered a lot of perks. It has always been a dream of mine to go into medical school in Canada, and a strong undergrad program is an essential requirement. UofC Neuroscience is top-notch, and is a small cohort of highly motivated, intelligent individuals, as only 30 are accepted each year. It is ultra competitive, but worth it as I wanted to be with other like-minded people who were striving for the same goals as me. Additionally, this program has guaranteed research funding, and getting a research position is really simple ( a perk not offered in other science programs), so this definitely stuck out to me. Additionally, having an opportunity to do a Honours thesis on a field of neuroscience in my 4th yr sounded really cool to me.
I chose it because it's a very prestigious university, the fees are less as compared to other equally good ones and I have family in Calgary.
