Alberta provides a seamless combination of enjoyment and competitiveness, creating a serene academic environment. The visually stunning campus serves as an appealing setting for various engaging activities that enhance the overall student experience. Additionally, the university’s faculty and staff are fully committed to teaching and mentorship, fostering an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity with their exceptional support.

THE UNIVERSITY needs to upgrade its facilities. Had to spend a lot of time in the washroom just because it wouldn’t work. Had a PTSD after that because i missed my classes, never using the engineering block washroom.

At our university, exceptional programs enhance the academic experience. These programs cover diverse subjects, creating an inclusive learning environment. Faculty members provide engaging lectures, hands-on projects, and valuable mentorship. Research opportunities motivate students to explore their passions and contribute to advancements. The emphasis on extracurricular activities fosters a holistic education, nurturing leadership abilities and community. These strong programs empower students to excel academically and personally, creating a rewarding educational journey.

I am a 4th year computer engineering student so this review will be in that light.

The campus is great at the university of Alberta. There are numerous events, people are generally pretty nice and there are multiple extra curricular activities and clubs.

The courses are pretty interesting too, however many of the content-heavy courses are poorly executed. There is poor structure in courses such as CMPUT 301 which involves learning good programming practices and learning android studios. The class teaches you about one thing, but the labs rush through the material you need to actually do the major project. This is even worse in courses like ECE 422. The course has nothing to do with he lab, and the labs are large projects worth 20% of your grade and they expect you to learn everything on your own.

These two classes are more extreme cases of poor class structure but the courses overall are generally pretty good. However if you’re interested in cyber security, there arent many options to pick from. There are at most 1-2 classes somewhat related to the field.

Alberta Engineering at the University of Alberta is probably one of Canada’s more renowned engineering schools. It’s tough and rigorous but student support is accessible and the profs, Deans, and the Engineering Student Support Centre are always trying to help the students. UAlberta, one of the country’s top research schools, has many opportunities for students to get involved. So far, as tough as it can be, I’m really enjoying my time at UofA.
