Carleton University (reviews)

I am only in my second year right now, and becoming a part of the journalism school at Carleton was the best decision I ever made. It is such a unique program and gives students the ability to genuinely understand the interworkings of a newsroom.

The campus culture is vibrant and varied, fostering a sense of community that makes you feel eager to participate in university life here. The faculty members in my experience are supportive, they help you see positive results from the effort you put into your studies. Overall, I had a positive experience at Carleton University. I am grateful for the lifelong friendships, invaluable knowledge and support from the faculty and institution in general.

Carleton University is a great University with a wide range of undergraduate programs. The university’s commitment to diversity and inclusion and its cooperative education programs. You may appreciate Carleton’s multicultural and inclusive environment, where international students often find support through various services and programs. As well as the university’s efforts to foster a global communit.

In the whole of Ottawa, Carleton gets eclipsed by its more “prestigious” sibling UOttawa primarily since UOttawa has a higher admissions average…But that doesn’t make it a better university. Carleton I feel is better for Undergrad students of all degrees for three simple reasons 1. Carleton Students get way more support from the university in all matters of mental health, financial and academic success. While both universities have similar departments, Carleton is regarded as having the better ones. As a result, Carleton Students are generally more happier than the UOttawa Counterparts. 2. Carleton has a better campus. If you look at a map of UOttawa you will quickly find that the buildings are scattered around downtown Ottawa. This means that you have to walk through the bustling city in order to get to where you need to go. In addition to this, there is a heightened presence of strangers walking around downtown at night which may be frightening for undergrads. Carleton on the other hand has a Campus that is on its own “Self-contained Island”, making it safe and easier to traverse. In addition to this, Carleton has a system of underground tunnels that connect all of the different buildings on campus, Making it excellent for cold and snowy days in Ottawa. UOttawa doesn’t have this thus the students have to make due with walking or biking around in the cold. Carleton is also greener than UOttawa, thanks to all of the green space that comes with being on your own little turf, Students on residence can enjoy all of this green space without having to leave the campus at all. 3. Carleton is right about at the centre of Ottawa whereas UOttawa is more east, this makes it ideal for students in all corners of Ottawa to get to it with relative ease. It’s location also aids it with co-op as being closer proximity to Ottawa’s tech hub Kanata North than UOttawa.
