Lakehead University Reviews and Ratings: Student Reviews, Campus Reviews, Faculty Reviews

Great for research. The subjects were really great. The co-op options were really good to get real-life experience.

Well, I am more interested in the field of Data Science. Since there is a lot of competition in the computer science field, Lakehead was the best option for me.

Because Lakehead University blends academic excellence and opportunity with a rich variety of social and recreational activities. It is excellent in research and career opportunities.

First and foremost, the campus and location. I love Northern Ontario and it's wildlife. There is an overwhelming feeling of calm whenever I am in Thunder Bay from the moment I land, very different from the hustle and bustle of Toronto. Secondly, the faculty. I first met the faculty at a college/university fair in Toronto in my grade 12 year, and they were so nice and welcoming. They weren't condescending or judgmental and answered all my questions - unlike the other schools. Thirdly, I wanted to be out on my own. Thunder Bay is very far from my home and when I was coming here, that's what I needed.

The location was appealing to me and I had family in the city if I needed help with anything. I also had friends in the city and knew the city well. I heard it was one of the best places for nursing as you get to start placements in year 1.
