- Student Diversity, Supportive staff, Peer Support (academic & emotionally) Vibrant social life, nothing less than a dream living here, the University is directly located in front of the lake which looks amazing in summer.
Dislikes
- It is way too expensive, building social circle is bit of a hasle, the area does not have many Indian restaurants and it is sometimes very tough during winters to attend classes. Not many Indians live here
Campus Life
- Campus regularly organises festival camps, parties, and stalls. We have a total of 2 campuses; one is called Main campus and the other one is West campus which are 15 min away from each other.
- There is a huge diwali and holi celebration every year and we get to eat indian food for free sometimes.
- You get to sign up for many of the sports clubs in queen's which include football, table tennis, swimming, basketball and badminton.
- We have a total of 3 libraries on campus, which is perfect during the exam seasons
Accommodation
- I searched facebook Marketplace for rental units and there are many listed there for lease
- It was quite easy for me to secure one
- my monthly rent was 1000 CAD including all the utilities
- Based on my experience, I would say start finding rental units as early as possible so that you don't risk your accommodation.
- I live just 10 min away from campus and it's very close to downtown too.

- Fees were very low and the cost of living in Kingston is very affordable.
- I understood the true value of Queen's after I graduated. Queen's has a fantastic alumni network that works towards helping their felow grads be successful.
- In Canada, Queen's is perceived as a prestigious univsersity and it holds true in terms of job hunts. The engineering school is above average with good programs to choose from. My mechanical engineering program was flexible in terms of the courses I could choose. Queen's, located in Kingston has the perfect student-university vibe that I loved. It at the same time was just 2.5 hrs from both Toronto and Ottawa. The fees and cost of Living at Queen's was very low.
Dislikes
- I had a rough experience at queen's because I had to go through COVID while studying there. Neverthless, the online courses were just as good and impactful. Queen's and Kingston in general didn't have a vibrant Indian community that left me feeling a bit disenfranchised at times. The University also provides little to no help for placements and career opportunities.
Campus Life
It's top notch.
Accommodation
I took an apartment with a friend and paid $600 a month.
Likes
- Location, reputation, people and culture. Got offered admission to Sauder at UBC and Schulich York, but still chose queens even though it’s lesser known in India. Queen’s commerce is a highly reputable program and tough to get into, not well known outside NA
- Best university in canada in terms of employment and salaries (specifically smith school of business). It’s a semi-target school for investment banks in USA, more students than UofT go and do IB. Great people, party school, extremely nice location on the lake
Dislikes
- The commerce program is secluded and feels like a bubble, not a lot of international students. Far from Toronto, and no coop program, but still good relation with top firms in Canada. Not known outside canada
Campus Life
Updated infrastructure, newly built business school and hood food options.
Accommodation
1-4 person rooms available with carrying facilities according to price points. 10-16k a year plan including all meals, with a lot of options. Newly built accommodation and old accommodations both are available for different prices.
Campus Life
campus life is very good, its infrastructure support all kind of learning facility. many extra curricular activity are organed on regular basis in favor of students. here environment is very helping. everyone is very supportive.
Accommodation
I did rent out a room. Ontario Tech has a lot of living options, dorm rooms of 2 types- with and without meal. Around the campus, within a 10 min walk, there is more than 10,000 rooms available for rent. I was having a house with 5 room, as we were 5 people.
Accommodation
No, I live with my parents in Toronto 3 hours away from my campus. But the uni has very nice res which I visited last year. And there are student preference residence programs. That gives emphasis on renting places out to students. And those neighbourhoods are practically in the campus. Would be 15 minutes walk on average to get to the farthest edge of the university from those neighbourhoods.
The city of Kingston where the university is located is very beautiful. And I have talked to some people from that university and one of the major thing everyone mentioned was that the teachers are very passionate. And that is the one thing that matters to me the most about any institute.
Accommodation
In your first year, you will get a chance to live on rez but afterward, if you want to live on campus you should apply early otherwise there are a lot of off-campus options.
I felt it was one of the best for the course I wanted to do and apart from that the city was closer to Toronto where most of the job opportunities are.
Accommodation
Almost all first-years live in residence and the experience has been amazing. The meal plan includes 19 meals a week plus 200 opportunities to purchase a meal in a retail outlet for no extra cost per year. The residence is less than a 5-minute walk from the business school
They had an easy application process and are very well known for their amazing business school. They have high retention rates and high success of employment after graduating. They also offer a joint Bcom and JD program, few unis in the country do. I was too of my class, president of service clubs, and a public speaker. I did the IB program and they transferred my credits easily.
Accommodation
In the first year, almost all incoming students live in residence. The style of residence I received was a 'single plus room' which is a single bedroom that includes an adjoining bathroom shared with one other room on a mixed gender floor and building. All residence options include an on-campus meal plan. In upper years, almost all students live off campus in the University District which is more colloquially known as the 'student ghetto' in which there are very old student homes to live in that are falling apart. I personally chose to live in a newer housing development within the university district so as to avoid common problems students face living in the poor quality homes available (e.g. bugs, mice, no A/C, no in-suite laundry, squirrels in the walls, etc.)
Its reputation and sense of community is something I was immediately attracted to. Also, Queen's prides itself on its traditions and heritage that are part of its history as an educational institution. Also, Queen's is a fair distance away from my hometown so it's not hard to get home if needed but also I'm far away at the same time.
The school spirit is excellent, I think it's unrivaled in Canada. The campus is beautiful, with scenic views and an awesome lake for events. Buildings and infrastructure are excellent as well. Finally, there is an excellent community feel.
Parents went there. Was originally in the con-Ed program, one of few in the province. It was far away from home while being less than a day?s travel. Cost of living was much lower than home, and it had a vibrant queer community.
