University of Lethbridge - Uleth (reviews)

I had an incredible experience over my 6 years at the University of Lethbridge. There was always a variety of courses being offered in most programs, you were never forced to just do the courses within your degree program. You were able to choose other courses that were of interest to you and get credit for them! By the end of my university career, the University had expanded and was growing each year. I highly recommend the University of Lethbridge to those who want a positive and individualized learning experience.

U of L will provide you with a comfortable, affordable and accredited degree and experience. The faculty of health sciences is still new and gaining its ground, the practicum experience is worthwhile if you are driven and make the best of it. A semester abroad is highly recommended, as well as joining a club to meet friends and have a reason to travel/try new things. The university sits in the coulees, a beautiful, calm (but often windy) setting for studying and getting into a little toruble. Lethbridge is big enough to host all of the necessary amenities but not too overwhelming, especially for a new student leaving home for the first time. A quick weekend trip to Calgary to do laundry at your moms!

The campus is small compared to other top universities in Canada, and classes are also smaller, allowing for more intimate settings in class. Being an active participant in the class will definitely make a Professor remember you, and allow you to build a good relationship with them, hence easy reference for your resume.

The school being an internationally credited institution makes it so that the students have diverse backgrounds. The institution also has many programs that can boost your career. The co-op program is only one of them, and I recommend browsing through their website.

Of course, like everything, it has its pros and cons. Being a small campus makes it so that there are fewer options for choosing professors and fewer seats available in a class. So you have to be fast during the time of course selections. The cafeteria food is repetitive, so it will definitely force you to learn how to cook and budget for yourself if you don’t want to just eat a sandwich, pizza, burger, and fries for a whole semester.

I really liked the friends that I made during my time at uleth, but I didn’t really like the city mostly because of the weather, it was always windy in Lethbridge, I feel like they could improve the social life at the university
