• Tuition is paid semester-wise; they also allow credit. it was around 10000-11000 for the first 3 semesters, which include around 6000 international fees. For the last, 4th semester, the fees were around 8000. I think they increased the fees recently. Fees include health insurance, buss pass, gym membership. These can be removed if not required. To remove health insurance, you will need another health insurance.
• I am not sure about hostels, but its really costly. Better find a place to live in the city. In Halifax, a shared room can cost around 500 CAD and can go up depending on utlities. A private room can be found for around 800-1200 CAD.
• Food is costly; depending on your phone plan and how much do you like to spend for entertainment, monthly expenses can be around 350-550 CAD.
• For transportation, I would suggest keeping the bus pass that you get with the tuition, as it's way cheaper than getting a normal bus pass.
• Overall, you will need at least 900 CAD monthly.

Overall, my experience has been great at Dalhousie University. The course curriculum they offered and the Professors putting in some efforts to really see their students excel is something very rare. The university also offers a good health infrastructure to its students when needed. I have learnt a lot from my experience and that is indicated on my profile as I have such clear understanding of the concepts which I can apply in my professional experience.

The entire campus has high speed internet connectivity. There are 2-3 libraries which provide excellent selection of books to learn from. There is also a huge playground for football, 2-3 open tennis courts and their very own sports complex which consists of gym, badminton courts, basketball courts, rock climbing, squash courts, swimming pool, indoor running track and much more!

Overall I had good exposure with University. I have seen growth in my knowledge as well as in communication specifically when it comes to technical talk. University offers an opportunity where we need to present our work in front of leaders, and tell about the invention we did. It is really helpful.

I joined the university while pandemic period. So wasn’t able to explore campus life. But overall it is good, university is in halifax, very quite and nature friendly city.

I did my own research. I got to know this is one of the colleges where I can apply from my range of marks. But this was the last in my last to go. I have applied to many universities like Waterloo, Alberta. According to my score, I was pretty confident that I would get into a better university for sure. Dalhousie was last in my list, but I got admission here. So I got to know the flavor of competition going on in Canada.

It has so many facilities. We have so many clubs like dance club, ted talk club, and coding community. The gym is superb. The standard of equipment is very high. They maintain it so well. They hire around 1000 members to maintain the entire sports community. 1000 members are from Dalhousie university, students are the ones, who are doing part-time there to maintain the entire sports community.

It is in a city that I have visited and wanted to live in and it is a very strong research school. I only applied to this school but I applied to several different programs within the school. I performed well academically in high school so I appreciate the challenge of some of the courses at this school.

My tuition is about $9000 a year. I got a government student loan and was not awarded any scholarships as I am a transfer student. The school does offer bursaries that students can apply for once every semester and they can help offset some costs. They are given out based on financial need. I applied for one this semester.

My academic score is good but the sole purpose I have chosen this college is one that I have friends and relatives living in Halifax, other reasons include the internship benefit of the course, short tenure, less academic stress, high chance to be part of Atlantic nominee program. One more thing is that Dalhousie is one of the top universities in Canada that I can afford. As I completed my Bachelor's in Computer Science, I am sure that I need to enhance my knowledge in the same field, so that?s the reason for my master's in computer science.

The fee structure is like around $5000 each semester which includes transit, gym, society fees altogether. The total course in rupees will come around 13-15 lakhs. I took an education loan from a bank back home. Even to get a loan it took me a month. For Masters, there are not many scholarships available but they do offer teaching assistants and best student awards.

Picked this university because it was the most reputable in my area, I did not want to travel too far, and by going here I can live with my sister and watch my nephew grow up. The public transit option is a great way to get to and from school without having to waste more time and money looking for a parking spot every day.

2 payments, one first semester and one second, the larger payment being first, includes medical insurance, bus pass, facility renewal fees, etc, tuition, instrumentation fee, and the list goes on.
