From the significant international student population to CUSA members to the politicians that run for student office every year, you will encounter some of the most interesting individuals on campus. You will not be bored if you spend a day people-watching at the university centre.

Engineering extracurriculars alone range from technical engineering contests (e.g., Formula SAE, Unmanned Systems Canada UAV competition, etc.), to professional societies (e.g., IEEE student branch), to Engineers Without Borders Canada, to the Engineering Musical; it’s simple to find only one area you’re interested in.

The vast majority of people here are really friendly and nice; it’s simple to get to know individuals, especially via extracurricular activities.

The student community is really quite diverse, notably in engineering; there are many Middle Eastern, South Asian, and East Asian students (both Canadian and international students).

You will also discover your niche. What I mean is that there is a cohort of people that are mostly interested in the most unique things. If you like to party, your friends will find you. If you enjoy studying, you will quickly locate individuals who share your interests. If you enjoy board games, you are not alone. Carleton has a unique way of making your academic journey enjoyable.
