I like the residence and the city, and the program that I wanted they offered. It has a good reputation as a university. The city is nice and big and is great for students. My friend also decided to go to Halifax to study.
Course Curriculum
It is good, it has lots to offer. There are many courses offered but also a lot of teachers but the class sizes are small. This is good because you can create a close relationship with your professors, better than at a bigger school.
Faculty
The faculty is ok. SMU has arts, science, psychology, and business. A lot of focus is on business at SMU as that is their main program that people want. A lot of the money that SMU gets goes to business.
Accommodation
Fees
Tuition is about 7000 CAD a year, the residence is close to 10000 CAD depending on which you choose, then you also have to get a meal plan or live on the residence where you have a kitchen. Books are not too overpriced, and you can often get them second hand for much less.
Examination Structure
The exam structure is ok. We have about 3 weeks after classes end where our exams will be scheduled. Some times you end up have 2 or 3 exams in one day and it is difficult to get them to change that. You may also have weeks without an exam.
