University of Ottawa Speciality : Biological Sciences
programme: Biological Science

When enrolling to school I started in biomedical science rather than biology and grew to realize that it was not for me. After taking the general requirement biology and learning about animals I really grew fond of it. Now I’ve changed my program to Biology and I do like it to an extent. There will always be teachers that don’t actively help their students but overall the Biology department is very good at providing helpful resources. I can’t speak for every other department but the school has its own problems and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend the school to everyone. It’s very dependent on the program of study. Student life is very limited as most of my classes are still virtual but there are good areas to study and the campus is very wide and within a distance of shopping centres that have many restaurants and cafes. There are services provided when it comes to mental health and there are many people who can help in guiding your studies and future plans postgraduate. Would I have enrolled in this university after experiencing two years of studies, no I don’t think I would? I feel like I could have learned more had I gone to a different school, but I say this as I am still taking my courses online so my opinion could change in the next year. Overall the University of Ottawa is a good school to earn a degree but it may just be limited to that alone.
