University of Ontario Institute of Technology

I am currently an international student studying at UOIT. I chose this university as it is one of the few universities that offer the Mechatronics Engineering program. Even though they are much smaller than other universities in size, they have quite a lot of facilities. They also have their very own wind tunnel. Needs improvement in teaching as some of the teachers are really bad. However, overall the university is really great.

The people working in the registrar's office are extremely rude, judgemental, and condescending. I would suggest students to stay away from these losers.

I've attended a few schools now, including Dalhousie, University of King's College, and the University of Innsbruck. If you're interested in a really vibrant campus life (especially if you're into activities in the arts), I would suggest going away to another school; UOIT just isn't quite set up to provide an ideal, social first year experience like other schools will offer. However, educationally, I have had an excellent time here. Versus larger schools (like Dalhousie), the experience is much more personal. For example, instead of being matched to a different advisor every time I need an appointment (and waiting two weeks), mine is always available and knows me and all of my individual concerns without having to constantly start from scratch. When it comes to the professors, I have felt that the vast majority are truly invested in my success. The program (accounting) is no easier than any other I have taken, but there has been support every step of the way from both student services and faculty. Ultimately, this approach makes sense; the school cannot simply coast by on a well established name, and it's therefore in their interest to see students build their reputation through actual career success! I don't regret coming here at all, and have had an experience that compares very favourably in many ways to the others schools I have attended. It depends on what you're looking for and what your priorities are. I honestly came here because it was close to home and the most financially sensible choice when I switched programs, but knowing what I do now after almost four years, I would happily make it again.

Seemed like a business than university. I went mental health counsellor who may have made things worse.
