Dislikes
- Housing Crisis - University has less space for accomodating students as part of its hostel culture.
- Harsh Weather - Since university is closed to Atlantic ocean and expect strong gusty winds , winter travel becomes difficult.
- Less Course and Staff - More Faculties and Course need to be added to diversify the area of interests for its students.
- My search started with the university's WhatsApp group. After finding the group, we added our accommodation request. Luckily, we saw the Kijiji and Facebook marketplace postings on the group, to which we responded. Since alumni from the university were leaving the city, we found the perfect time to pitch in our request and paid all the rent to secure the spot. The lease was signed online, and we found the perfect house close to Dalhousie University.

- The course fee is also lower as compared to similar courses in other universities which is another good reason to study at a great university in a budget.
- The course curriculum is diverse. There are ample of career paths one can pursue after this degree.
Dislikes
- The University is based out of Halifax, which is a small city. Most of the students have to look for jobs in other provinces and relocate after graduation. This can be tedious and also costly as one would have to pay for the basic setup in a different city.
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.

- Dalhousie is reputed institute of Canada. It provides updated knowledge within current industry. MACS program also has COOP term which a good start to career development.
- Streamlined curriculum, focused on trending stacks. They performed curriculum review every two years and updates the curriculum effectively. University campus is also so friendly you can have anytime conversation with professors. They always stays present.
Dislikes
- Some mandatory courses I think is not useful for all. Not all students will like to attend data management course for example. Apart from that I think course content is good and effective if one likes or have interest
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 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 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 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.
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.
