- High knowledgeable lecturers who teaches so well
- Curriculum is very good and well planned
- So much of practical knowledge by having many projects instead of just exams
Dislikes
- Classes for each course was in different building and the campus is huge and hard to walk
- Some of the lectures was bit difficult to understand in the beginning as the course was little intense and hard to catch but later with some self study it was fine
- Lecturers English accent differs by each and that was difficult in the beginning but later it was fine again
Campus Life
- It’s just in Ottawa and that’s the only campus but I got to go to Carleton university for few of my courses as it was a joint university with my university.
- We had so many sports and clubs to participate and it was a wholesome experience as there are other students from different countries across the world which gave a massive exposure and good friends
Accommodation
- I chose an accommodation close to the university with the train facility that just had a stop inside the university itself.
- Monthly rent for each person in my flat was around $350 CAD and I found the accommodation by checking in Facebook marketplace and also by talking to the seniors in LinkedIn who already attended this university and then contacted the apartment people and initiated the process and then posted the ad for the roommates in Facebook marketplace to gather roommates
Likes
- Location of the campus. It is located in downtown which allows you to travel freely.
- Fee-structure: because of per-credit fee structure it allows student to take course as per their capacity.
- Co-ops opportunities allows a student to do an internship which will benefit them in future.
Dislikes
- Lecture time length, sometime lectures are 3 hours long.
- Lecture time, some lecture starts in evening and over at late night.
- Expensive living cost around university.
Campus Life
3 campuses, which are located close to the main campus. My university has a very good library and lots of study rooms. There are many clubs which you can join. And all the possible facilities you want are there.
Accommodation
There are many Facebook groups and WhatsApp groups where you can find the rental unit but it is usually suggested to come before and search by yourself to avoid scams which are very common here and do not pay any amount in advance unless and until you see the unit.
Likes
- University of Ottawa is one of the highest research output universities in Canada.
- The learning is mostly practical instead of theoretical in form if assignments real life projects, including group and individual work.
- The university takes efforts to engage various programs like career fairs, networking events, hackathon etc.
Dislikes
- The university dining does not necessarily offer food that relishes your palette (especially Indian)
- Getting TA positions can be tough sometimes since there are no Scholarship options for non research based programs.
- The learning is mostly self directed and not necessarily guided by the professors as personal attention.
Campus Life
- The campus has 3 locations
- Main campus which includes Telfer
- 200 Lees Campus
- Ottawa health campus
- The campus has medical facilities only for students and it is covered for free by Uhip although it takes a long time to get an appointment. The campus also has small food joints and cafes. There are 2 gyms at the main campus, swimming, basketball, football court, ice hockey area etc.
- Panda fest is a very popular sports activity at Inter University. The university also has clubs that organise Indian festivals like Holi, Diwali and there are major celebrations like Halloween parties.
- The university has a student council for graduate students named PDI and they organise various networking events and cultural activities.
Accommodation
- Finding accommodation is a big task here. I found it through a WhatsApp group and Facebook marketplace.
- My current monthly rent is 930 plus utilities which are another 50 dollars for a private space which is one stop away from the university.
- Not knowing anyone while finding accommodation from India was very challenging. Considering the scams going on, trusting someone was very difficult. I found it through my friends who came before me.
- Finding accommodation off campus through friends and seniors is highly recommended. The university accommodation is very expensive.
- My accommodation is just one stop away from the university station. Mostly Indian students stay in areas like- Smyth station, lycee claudel, Lees etc.

- I received admission offer from this university and global ranking is good.
- The university is one of the top rated institutes and thus students get good exposure in terms of research, jobs etc. There is a huge range of courses to choose from based on student's interests. The Infrastructure and Legacy of the university is awesome.
Dislikes
- Sometimes there is over emphasis over research candidates than course based candidates, so the number of scholarships, teaching assistant positions etc. are more suitable for research based students than course based.
Campus Life
The infrastructure is top class. There are 2 sport complex with latest appliances, library is huge , high speed Wifi is available all over campus.
Accommodation
There are plenty university accommodations available inclosing food facilities but on quite higher side of the expenses.
Accommodation
Accommodation and expenses come to around 700CAD which is not expensive. This can be earned by part-time work.
This university falls under 150 ranks in the world. And Ottawa is not expensive as compared to other cities in Canada.
Accommodation
Better to stay privately rather than university accommodation
I chose this university as I heard from my seniors that the opportunities are good.
Accommodation
Renting an apartment is easy and online. You can confirm your apart before coming here and I advise you do that. It cost $1700-$2000 for a 2 BHK (not in downtown). So if you share a bedroom it will be $500 each. They are private rooms available at $ 600-$700 near the university. If you go far you might also get a private room for $500.
The University of Ottawa is one of the top 10 universities in Canada. There are many good opportunities and also an Indian crowd so you don’t feel lonely in a foreign land.
Accommodation
No, I live off-campus.
The University of Ottawa is a really good university for Civil Engineering. My major is in structural engineering and the university is very well known for that. The course structure is really flexible. Also, there are a lot of choices in courses for structural engineering.
Accommodation
No
Yes, my dream university No 1 bilingual university in the world.
I chose the University of Ottawa's Bachelor of Commerce with a specialization in accounting because of the amazing Co-op program they have and I loved the feel of the university and its location. I learned about the school at the Ontario University Fair and then toured it and it totally lived up to my expectations. I only applied to two universities and got into uOttawa a week after I applied with a pretty large scholarship.
