I’m currently in my second year at the University of Guelph and I can honestly say it’s been the greatest two years of my life. The community here at guelph is supportive, welcoming and some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. Before coming to uofg I took a year off working and during this time I went to many different universities across Ontario to visit friends and get a feel of the schools. Some of the places I visited were Western, Laurier, TMU, McMaster and of course Guelph. Out of all these schools, I found Guelph to have not only the friendliest Staff/workers, but students. Everyone I have met here has been so welcoming and supportive no matter where no are. I’ve also been having great experiences in my academic career here. While I have had the odd “not the best” prof here and there, the majority of my classes I’ve seriously enjoyed and gained so much knowledge. Some of the professor that teach here have seriously changed my life with their passion, education, and kindness. There is also a huge amount of opportunities on campus not only academically but in clubs, sports, jobs and more. My only concern with UofG is as someone in the arts program, our department often gets overlooked in these opportunities. The business and science program here on guelph offer such great external experiences and ways to get involved and connected both on and off campus but I’ve found quite a lack in this department for my program. Finally the food here at UofG really is as good as everyone says. First year I probably eat a crepe almost everyday (do not recommend your meal plan will be empty before you know it). From the food I’ve had at other universities, nothing tops Guelphs. As someone who doens’t eat read meat either there is a lot of vegan and gluten free options! Guelph gives a warm, homey and community feel and has been such a great experience for me. If you’re thinking about coming to guelph I highly recommend! Beautiful campus and people!
