My Queen's Uni experience

Likes

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

Scholarship

Yeah, I got a scholarship for 10000 CAD; this was for 2 consecutive years
It was the International Student scholarship India (given to students with exceptional extracurriculars and strong academics).
Yeah, just 2 more friends of mine got it for 10000 CAD, distributed equally for 4 years.
I have no idea about the average scholarships each year but it is definitely less than 200 students every year. Please contact the department to know the exact amount.

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.

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.

Queen’s Commerce

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

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.

For me its just the beginning, I still havent had chance to fully experience the university yet. So, my opinion at this point would not be very applicable

Scholarship

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.

It's an amazing experience at Queen's University

Scholarship

I received an International Student scholarship of $10,000 and it was only based on my class 12 results so there was no application for it.

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.

My study experience in Queen's University

Scholarship

Yes, you fill out a general application for major Addison awards.

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.

Queen's University

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.

Queen's - Courses and tution fee

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.
