What students say about Queen's University


Likes

  • An optimal amount of time is given to students to enable them to do well.
  • It was good because I could manage my studies as well as my internship hand in hand.
  • If a student wishes to have a job during school, the odds are that they will be able to find one in some way.
  • Queens offers a substantial amount of scholarships; however, one must be prepared to pursue them on their own time.
  • The student ghetto here is great because it\s practically on campus, and everyone lives very close.
  • Fees, residence, and meal plan are paid together, whereas textbooks you have to buy on your own.
  • For example, students in politics form their own network despite being part of the larger faculty.
  • My mother went to Queens University for undergraduate and graduate studies, and it is one of the best schools in the country.

Dislike

  • The only thing I find weird is that arts and sciences are in the same faculty

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. null

The overall experience was bitter sweet, bitter because we had to go through Covid while at Queen's, sweet because of the opportunities that it opened up for me later.

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 .

The people have been amazing and the culture is totally unique to what other universities have. You should message Queens commerce students on LinkedIn to learn more, everyone would be happy to talk. The lake adds to the experience.

there are many reasons for choosing this college. Firstly it was my locational preference because i don't have to struggle with the language thing. secondly it offers multi project and multi year course curriculum that sounds more fascinating for me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Knew a lot of friends that planned on attending the university and had a strong interest in their cheerleading team. A great community environment and a very pretty campus felt very welcomed. It was very easy to make friends.
