What students say about Royal Roads University
Likes
- It is also considered a young university that is still trying to expand its operations.
- We all are finding it very difficult to compete with people who are from better universities and have better credibility.
- The university has the famous Hatley Castle and also has its own lagoon, which is the best place to chill.
- The other dormitory is more affordable and also has private rooms, but it has shared kitchen and bathroom facilities on every floor.
- Experienced and professional staff are perfectly equipped to handle and operate diverse classrooms, such as a multicultural workforce.
- The knowledge gained, the outcomes achieved, the supportive community, the people of Victoria, and the campus environment all contributed to a memorable and enriching journey.
Dislike
- The university also has a job portal, but the number of job postings on it is very limited

- Because of the course arrangement, I was doing my regular BMS( Bachelors in Management Studies) when I came across this opportunity in year 2, they gave an option to have transfer courses so I took it, then my degree got transferred form BMS to BBA and I completed my 3rd and 4th year in Canada.,
- So, Royal Roads gave me quite a bit of experience. It was definitely a bumpy ride because Victoria is a small town, but of course, the prettiest one. My initial few days were not so well. I was getting adjusted and our campus is extremely beautiful but very spread out and huge. This made things pretty confusing. But if you like peacocks, ducks, and a big lake with an amazing castle view, then you are at the right place.,
- Now, enough of the environment. Let's get real and talk about the courses... Well, they are debatable. Remember, this is just my side of the story though. After graduating, I was jobless for a long time. At first, I thought I was the problem, then I blamed the course/my degree, and finally, I realized that according to my aims/goals, I am in the wrong location. I have to be around industries where there may be competition but at the same time growth opportunities. After shifting to the city (Toronto), I realized the competition is way too high. So, I had to take some extra certifications and finally landed a good job.,
- So, in my experience, you need to be alert to the market and make sure you take good initial steps, which I did not, and so I was struggling. Anyhow, that was quite a lot to take in, probably. Royal Roads is fine! The courses teach you a lot, have a fun community environment, and if you want to experience the real Canada, you should be in the town for sure. All the best, folks.
- Dislikes:
- Probably the lack of industries can be quite a challenging part, but my suggestion would be to start early, as in a year before graduation, make sure to apply for internships in firms, do some volunteer work, and apply your education to something practical. This way, you will understand what you are studying and eventually choose a field that is best for you and society.
It was a bittersweet experience due to the strict rules and high level of rigor compared to other universities. Despite pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), the courses often felt more akin to an MBA program. The university emphasized pragmatism and enforced strict adherence to it. However, aside from these challenging moments, everything else about the experience was sweet. The knowledge gained, the outcomes achieved, the supportive community, the people of Victoria, the campus environment – all contributed to a memorable and enriching journey.

- The program is very future oriented and focuses on the demands of tomorrow. It is made to prepare you ahead of time.,
- Very open minded approach to a bachelors degree. Hands on experience, no exams rather a client-oriented report. Quite demanding but a worthy experience. Plenty of volunteer experience available if you are proactive.,
- The gym facility is top of line everything you need is there. The food is so-so. Could do better but still a good option nonetheless. There’s places where you connect with nature. A lagoon in-house. Beautiful sunsets and lots of culture. It is built on the lands of Xyspuem and Lekwagaon lands. (Sorry if I butchered the spelling) much love! It is an experience that’s what I can say.
- Dislikes:
- The location is a bit odd and far. Away from city but very pretty as well. Blessing and a curse.
It is quite an experience, you have to be prepared at all times. It tries you mentally and physically. There is an excitement. You need to feel it to understand I think.

- It was a credit transfer program for us through Vidyalankar University in Mumbai where we did 2 years and then rest 2 were done from RRU,
- The location and the campus has many resources for students. There are only few courses that actually help you gain knowledge and will help in your career. Few instructors are really knowledgable and fun to interact with.
- Dislikes:
- This university is a B grade university whom no one in Victoria knows let alone Canada. The program heads are usually very strict and personally I felt are racist. My whole batch had 16 Indians 7 Chinese and 12 Canadians surprisingly onlt the canadians used to score 90 or above and rest all scored below 85 and this went on for 2 years. There was no action taken when we wrote to the instructors. Apart from the MGM program no program is recognized or have any value. Please choose UVIC or Camosen college if coming to Victoria.
The college just helped me enter Canada and also enjoyed the city Victoria which is very beautiful apart from that everything is poor.
The program was interdisciplinary and applied. In addition, it was designed for working professionals and delivered distanced (for the full program or majority of it) so students could work and didn't have to stay in Victoria throughout their study period.
Gave me an opportunity to use my previous work experience as a qualifying factor as I had a huge gap in education.
Affiliation with the government provided the basis for genuineness and good reputation. The affordability along with the unique programs and preferred courses helped me make up my mind for this university.
1. I was accepted for a master's program at a University without GMAT. 2. The length of my program was just 18 months. 3. I was eligible for direct admission and I wasn't required to take any pre-masters course. 4. After completion of this course, students receive 3 year of Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). 5. The university is situated in one of the most beautiful places in the country.
