U of G. Great University but we still have a long way to go.

The campus was beautiful and easy to get around. Everyone on campus seemed so nice and welcoming. It also had professors who were well known in the industry I was looking to pursue. Giving me the opportunity to have them as references on my resume....Read More

I applied to 4-5 universities based on the rankings. And I only got an offer letter from the University of Guelph hence I had no other options....Read More

Because of the amount of liberty we have in choosing courses in our program. I can choose to take very diverse courses which may or may not contribute to my major or minor. Also in the engineering sciences, there is an emphasis on design which was really intriguing to me....Read More

It was never my first choice but I didn't want to miss an opportunity so I took it....Read More

I received a full ride to the school (scholarships based on grades), I liked the upper year course selection (ex.

I opted for this particular university because it had the program I wanted and throughout the tour I just felt like it was a place where I should go the school.

University of Guelph's ambassadors regularly visited our high school to offer more information and answer any questions we may have about any faculty.

I also attended an event known as "Ontario Universities' Fair" in Toronto where we were able to have conversations with a lot of current students at different universities before selecting which ones we wanted to apply to. I applied to about 4 universities and my top two I had trouble choosing between Guelph and Waterloo. I selected Guelph because it was a smaller school, I would be closer to home, and because I heard positive things about their science programs from upper-year students....Read More

I was able to live at home and save money for the first year. Guelph always had a reputation for a great science program so at the time when I was in Toxicology it seemed like a good university to attend. U of G is known for their agriculture, so when I switched to Animal Bio I knew that this university would help me reach my goals....Read More

I came to Guelph because the campus was so small compared to many other schools I toured. When I visitors for the first time, I loved how the campus felt like a community that fully supported each other, compared to other schools that are all about competition....Read More
