As a recent Bachelor of Commerce graduate from the University of Calgary I am thrilled to have attended the Haskayne School of Business. Throughout my time there, I found both professors and teaching assistants readily available to provide assistance on assignments, projects or offer general advice. Additionally, the availability of academic advisors was great in helping students like myself plan and ensure they stay on the right educational path.
The Haskayne program also helped push students out of their comfort zone by emphasizing on group projects, presentations and offering highly interactive classes. (I recommend OBHR 493 – Business Negotiations).
I found the the University of Calgary handled the online shift due to Covid very well, however I feel they are still slightly over using the online aspect and not currently using the campus to its full potential.
Overall I would recommend this university for its exceptional education, great social atmosphere, and diverse offerings. There is also the added benefit of the transit system coming directly to campus allowing for easy access to downtown and opportunity to explore the city for all those students without a vehicle.

I’m currently a third-year international student at the University of Calgary, pursuing a degree in general business and commerce with a concentration in marketing. The decision to move to a completely new country for the first time initially brought about some concerns, but my experience in Calgary has proven to be exceptionally positive. The city itself has a welcoming and comforting atmosphere, making it easy to adapt and call it home. As for the university, the campus is beautiful, extremely diverse, and full of friendly students and helpful staff aiming for our success. I personally appreciate the supportive network that the university as a whole has fostered, creating an environment that encourages growth and achievement.
