University of Ontario Institute of Technology - UOIT (reviews)

I loved my stay in the university. The lecturers were the very best and also patient with us the students. The campus landscape is beautiful and well demarcated. Security is tight to ensure student safety

I completed the Bachelor of Legal Studies at Ontario Tech University, and overall, it was a solid experience. The program offers a strong foundation in Canadian law with a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Courses cover a range of topics, including constitutional and criminal law, with a focus on legal research and analysis.

The professors are experienced and approachable, often bringing real-world insights into the classroom. However, I feel the program could benefit from more hands-on opportunities like internships or case studies.

The campus is modern, with great facilities, especially the technology lab, which was useful for legal research. The career support services were excellent, helping me secure an internship at a law firm in my final year.

Overall, the program is great for those interested in law-related fields, but it’s not designed for those looking to become lawyers. It’s ideal for careers in paralegal work, policy, or business law.

My time at Ontario Tech University (formerly UOIT) from 2014 to 2018 studying Business Commerce was a tough but rewarding experience. The program challenged me academically and pushed me to grow both personally and professionally. One of the most unique aspects of the school was its strong focus on technology. Every student was provided with a laptop as part of a mandatory tech-enabled learning environment. This helped prepare me for the real world, where digital skills are essential.

I genuinely learned a lot during my four years. The professors were knowledgeable and approachable, and the curriculum provided a solid foundation in key business areas, from marketing to finance. The emphasis on applied learning, group projects, and real-world business scenarios made the education practical and engaging.

That said, the campus lifestyle could have been better during my time. The school was still relatively young, and between 2014–2018, it lacked some of the student amenities, events, and social infrastructure you’d find at more established universities. While there was a sense of community, it wasn’t as vibrant as I hoped for something I believe has improved in recent years as the university continues to grow and invest in its student experience.

Overall, I’d recommend Ontario Tech to students who are serious about their studies and want a tech-forward education. It’s a school that’s evolving quickly and has the potential to become one of Canada’s top modern universities.

I believe this degree is really what you make it. Does it provide as many opportunities and in the same scope of marketing degrees from bigger universities like those of Toronto? No, but it does offer great opportunities if you show initiative and put forth the effort. By being an active participant of your academic and professional outcomes, this school can provide everything needed for you to become successful.
