My mother went to Queen's University for undergraduate and graduate work, and it is one of the best schools in the country. Kingston, Ontario is a very nice city and the program was a good match for me.
Course Curriculum
The economics program at Queen's is fairly theory oriented could use a bit more practical application. However, if pursued properly (i.e study and do all of the required work) the degree primes one for professional work as an economist.
Exams
I have only taken respective exams for the undergraduate courses in which I was enrolled in. For example, microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, econometrics, etc.
Placement
Non-existent.
Internship
No, not applicable.
Events
My birthday, St Patrick's day and homecoming.
Fees
Tuition, other fees, houses, athletic fees.
Scholarship
Yes, an academic entrance scholarship based on merit. Queen's offers a substantial amount of scholarships but one must be prepared to pursue on their own time.
Examination Structure
Typically 3 hours, long answer short answer.
Faculty
Fantastic faculty with exceptional research capacity. Overall, some teachers are better than others but that is the case for almost every school. Many of the teachers show genuine concern for students.
Hostel
The first year in residence and then final 3 years living in off-campus accommodation in the student ghetto.
