“Terrible University”
Jason W
Austria, Undergraduate
, 2006
Overall
To be honest this is not actually a great university. The classes are very large and no one mentions you don’t get any close instruction at all. The professors are extremely entitled and there is no reason. It is only a public University. The University has just developed an inflated opinion of itself based on the fact it is in a major city, Vancouver. With the cost of living in Vancouver, the cost of tuition and fees now, the lack of career paths for most majors, it is not a great option for studies.
