    Fantastic university, beautiful campus, supportive and fabulous professors, and very diverse student body. Starbucks or Tim Hortons on the main route through campus is great. Do note, having class in Mackenzie then next class in Southam is brutal but easily doable (up hill and 10 minutes to get there) ...Continue reading

    Carleton is pretty rad The location, right on the Rideau, is amazing (sunrise is beautiful). The cafeteria has food that's above average as far as cafeteria food goes and there are plenty of other places on and around campus to eat. There are also really great profs here, so you'll learn a lot while having fun doing it. Also, great co-op. ...Continue reading

    Having been to both OttawaU and Carleton I can say Carleton is by far the better school! In these fields it has a very strong international reputation. The biggest downfall is that the Uni has deeply inconsistent quality across disciplines, so you must know the reputation of the subject you are taking. ...Continue reading

    Carleton is a great school. Degree value is highly dependent on program choice... like most comprehensive universities, Carleton diverts funds from meh programs into reputable programs. Go for a BA and you may very well never liquidize the value of your degree. Go for engineering and Carleton will make you king. It's got over 300 clubs and societies, interesting courses, and the Greek life is phenomenal. ...Continue reading

    Take it from an upper year student, choose your program wisely. The issue is really with the city which dies down way too fast in the winter. Kind of becomes a little too creepy for anyone wanting to go out. Otherwise, as a campus, nature here is beautiful. Go for a run during the early fall semester or through the summer and you'll see. Or skate down the canal and you'll love it! The academic advising center will really help you out. I don't know of any other university that is willing to help BA students become BEng or BSc students. They will really help you get the requirements you need to move to the better faculties and programs. ...Continue reading

    I would say its more of a corporation than a school, but nowadays I guess that's true for most schools. The campus is pretty but like the city-disconnected and services are not visible. Many supports but scattered all over campus and no idea what is offered or where its located. Many activities, and lots of social activism for students. That's the most positive thing I can say. Worst professors, Worst Staff, Worst students, Worst TAs, Worst Accommodations, Worst Social events No1 cares about anyone, most professors are half retarded and terrible grading, they just try to indoctrinate you, Students are mean and its hard to make friends unless ur part of a specific club of rich white kids or friends from hs ...Continue reading

    Carleton is a great campus and most of the profs are amazing. So many doors were closed because they didn't know how to make their own careers work, let alone give us proper guidance. Loved it at the time, TOTALLY regret having gone there today. Carleton's for engineers. Carleton marks harder then other 2nd tier universities that are similarly ranked (Macleans). This is done purposely to weed people out. By third/fourth year you'll just want to get out of here.

    Carleton is a great school. Degree value is highly dependent on program choice... like most comprehensive universities, Carleton diverts funds from meh programs into reputable programs.

    Take it from an upper year student, choose your program wisely. The issue is really with the city which dies down way too fast in the winter. Kind of becomes a little too creepy for anyone wanting to go out. Otherwise, as a campus, nature here is beautiful. Go for a run during the early fall semester or through the summer and you'll see. Or skate down the canal and you'll love it! The academic advising center will really help you out. I don't know of any other university that is willing to help BA students become BEng or BSc students. They will really help you get the requirements you need to move to the better faculties and programs. ...Continue reading
