It was very near to my home. It was also the only college in my province with an accredited engineering program so it was effectively my only option if I wanted to stay at home. I also heard positive things from others.
Course Curriculum
I think there are places where it is lacking but overall it is comprehensive and appropriate for the program. We must take several first-year courses that are not directly related to our specific field.
Fees
There are several hundred dollars in student fees that go towards student groups as well as the student union. Other charges include mandatory gym membership fees as well as a universal bus pass.
Examination Structure
Exams are administered in the last few weeks of the semester, in December and April. Most courses have midterms during the semester as well. Exams are typically worth 50% of the course. Exams are generally 3 hours long.
Faculty
I think the faculty are average. There are some that are certainly leaders in their respective fields but several that are less than stellar. There has also been a significant turnover in just the last few years.
