Carleton University (reviews)

Overall, my experience as a student at Carleton University has been terrific. It has a welcoming and vibrant student community that encourages creativity, growth, and perseverance. Students have various avenues of support in excelling in their desired field from the plethora of student clubs and associations to the supportive faculty.

The journalism program at Carleton was quite good when I attended in the 1980s. Professors were intelligent and fair; the course materials were good. The campus is lovely, situated by the canal, but it is a little cumbersome to access and you have to travel some distance to do anything off campus. Sport and recreation facilities were good.

My experience at Carleton University has been really positive overall. The programmes are well-structured and the professors are approachable and genuinely care about student success. I especially liked the campus community, it’s diverse, welcoming, and there are lots of clubs and events that make it easy to get involved. Ottawa is also a great location for internships and research opportunities. If I had to pick one thing to improve, it would be more support around housing during peak intake periods. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Carleton to future students looking for a balance of academics and campus life.

Overall, my experience has been very positive. The courses are engaging and encourage critical thinking, especially in programs like Human Rights and Social Justice. Professors are generally supportive and approachable, and there are many opportunities to get involved in student life and community initiatives. One thing I appreciate is the diversity on campus, which creates a more inclusive and open learning environment. There are also many resources available for students, both academically and socially. One downside is that some administrative processes can be slow or unclear at times, which can be frustrating when trying to get quick answers. Overall, I would recommend this university, especially for students who are interested in social sciences and want to be part of an engaged and active student community.
