Campus Life
There are a myriad of clubs associated with a lot of things at the University. Since the campus is huge, there are also a lot of buildings dedicated to the research facilities in every discipline.
Hostel
There are 8 residential buildings on campus, each connected through tunnels, which make commuting easier during the winter months.
- Likes:
- It is in capital of Canada. Good job opportunities around. The university is well reputed and ranked.
Campus Life
The library is very good. Whole campus has wifi facilities. Lots of spaces to seat around and take a rest in between classes and do group study.
Hostel
I live off campus in a private room. Rent around 800 including all utilities. Laundry in basement and it's card operated.
- Likes:
- I liked the reputation that the college holds with local employers. Employers are always willing to prioritize Carleton students for roles at their companies for Internships as well as permanent roles.
- Dislikes:
- As I said above, the location of the University is a bit of the problem because the Ottawa region has long and cold winters.
Campus Life
The campus life is pretty vibrant here. A lot of events, workshops and festivals keep taking place on campus. I've been pretty involved with a lot of clubs on campus which regularly hold engagement events to boost community involvement.
Hostel
Private room - good location, transit access, safe neighborhood, good room mates. Living with people from different nationalities gave me a good exposure to their lifestyles and perspectives towards work and life in general.

I rented a house in Ottawa. You can find lots of places to rent in Canada. Renting a place is better than staying at the university. You will save a lot.
Carleton University has a separate Data Science Lab and they specialize in Data Science. I can choose courses from either Carleton or Ottawa and thus have the advantage of studying at another branded university. I could shape my master's curriculum. I can study whatever I want. This is what I studied about ML in my Master's. Carleton has an underground tunnel to keep you warm while you go to university in the winter. They have well-knowledgeable faculty. They cover more material and the exams are tougher but you will benefit from learning many things. Carleton is one of the best institutions if you want to tailor your master's to your interests. You have the option of taking courses outside your department. I took two courses outside my department.
Hostel
No, I don't live on campus as it is out of my budget. Most of the international students live in rented accommodations off-campus which are preferred and cost nearly 300-400 CAD.
Carleton University is one of the highly ranked universities in Canada and is located in I capital of Ontario i.e. Ottawa which is one of the best places for international students in terms of Job Opportunities and facilities. Furthermore, the University has its alumni placed in high-ranked companies which is a big plus point to join Carleton.
I learned about this college through word of mouth from older friends who went there. The admission process was very easy (like most other Ontario universities done through OUAC). I applied to three other universities (Toronto, Laurentian, and Windsor). I choose this university because when touring the school I realized how nice the campus was- everything is conveniently together in one campus and there is a very warm sense of community there. The students are kind and the profs care about students. There is always help for anything you are experiencing. Ottawa itself provides the capital city advantage with lots of volunteer and job opportunities as well as delicious restaurants, lots of services, and tourism. I was an A student in grade 12.

I stayed at home with my parents and commuted to school. It is more financially feasible to do this than to live on your own and pay your own bills. Residence can be quite pricy, but is worth it considering there are tunnels that can take you to and from class without going outside.
Least expensive University in the Ottawa area. The only other option is Ottawa University and their tutition is almost a third more expensive. This was the only University I applied to, therefore I did not spend a lot of time or money applying to different schools. I believe that the application price was just over $200.

Living on campus is a very easy way to meet new people, at my university the meal plan is included in tuition which is great! I also had a resident fellow, which I'm assuming all residents have.
Good school for the program I wanted to take, and the city I study in is very big in the career path I'm hoping to take. Got a scholarship and an award, out of the 5 schools I got accepted to it was the highest amount of money. Wanted to go to this school since I knew I was going to university. I took law in high school and knew that was the path I wanted to take, and within the program, I am in I learn about so many interesting things.
It’s in Ottawa, which is very helpful for my major. So much history has happened here and is happening. I also really liked how close the campus is. It’s really contained but still big enough that you feel like you’re somewhere new.
