“Inspiring and Communicative”
Mark C
Canada,
Engineering, Computer, 2025
OverallThe courses are quite detailed and organized in a useful structure that merges well to the prerequisites and post requisite courses. I found that the instructors are open to questions and emails out of hours. I also appreciate how some professors are open to critique designs and ideas.
There are of course some professors who are less open to help and occasionally make life difficult, but we usually have good TA's and tutorials to help out.

Careers
There are several career fairs each term and there is a co-op job opportunity and job competition each term if you are enrolled in the course. There are co-op advisors for each discipline and the writing centre is good for getting tips on how to improve your writing in any use case.
I found my last internship through our MyCareer website portal. Companies who would like to accept coop students can put a job posting for students to apply to exclusively. Students can also just apply to jobs on their own so long as they apply to a specific quota each week.

Pros
Widespread reputation in Canada and parts of the USA
Cons
More student-admin communication and colaboration. Students and professors don't seem to have enough say when it comes to admin decisions.

Personal comments
Make sure you are in Fenwick Tower on the 32/33rd floor, it was amazing up there. I could talk for hours on how good it was. Also make sure you ring Dalhousie Accomodation and ask to have a big room. The rooms up on the 32/33 are diffrent sizes and are all the same price so get a large one.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I had a great and enriching experience, living on the same flat with other exchange students. Indeed it's the best way to learn more about other cultures, besides the host country culture.
