Mission

Our mission
Our raison d'être

Since 1848, the University of Ottawa has been Canada's university: a reflection, an observatory and a catalyst of the Canadian experience in all its complexity and diversity. Our university is characterized by its unique history, its commitment to bilingualism, its location both in the heart of the national capital and at the juncture of French and English Canada, its special commitment to the promotion of French culture in Ontario and to multiculturalism. As a result and through the groundbreaking work of our community members, we are uniquely positioned among Canada's research-intensive institutions to give students a remarkable education, to enrich the intellectual and cultural life of Canada and to help the country achieve greater international prominence.

Reviews
I recently went on a campus tour at the University of Ottawa, and the student guide was incredibly professional and friendly. They made sure to engage with both the students and parents, creating a welcoming and interactive experience. It was a great way to learn more about the campus and the university community!
Havint spent 2 years in Ottawa also for studies and whatnot, its an initially exciting city due the European architecture and parliament buildings but once you go past that initial awe or whatever feelings then theres really not much to it and the show in essence of ottawa really only happens because the city markets itself as the rideau parliament area because thats the only thing they can use to market to attract tourism especially as shown in online google searches, not to mention the early curfews and lack of entertainment venues makes it only a space for a certain genre and demographic who are into mueseum, art culture and not fitting for those who need a hustle and bustle of something more lively, additonally as an anglophone it can be rather uncomfortable at times adjusting to the culture and backgrounds there as Ottawa Gatineau area is a special spot compared to the rest of Canada,. Not to mention be prepared for the cold and snow covering 80 percent of the year as someone coming from the West side of Canada, BC where the temperature is a lot warmer and sunnier it is really too much even with a full North Face jacket and being a grown physcially fit adult man who exercises everyday coming from an intense sports background be prepared to get used to it somehow or another or else there will be a very painful cold period like this one instance I had to sit down in the gym locker room for 5 minutes waiting to feel my ears again after the cold frostbite my ears walking down the rideau canal bridge whcih I had to do every morning in commute, the campus itself is really old and feels like it has no life and its really hard to make freinds but this could go for any other uni if your not from there originally nor go to high school there with your own high school buddies. How is it that UBC's smaller cmapus's in the Okanagan adminstration works faster and the campus is nicer than uOttawa? I understand there is a monumental budget differnece but uOttawa is not a small or broke university by any means and should work better on their main campus in terms of simply updating it to be clean and modern espcailly the morriset library, 90u areas
after talking to parents of their kid who attended criminology I can attest and warn parents that they indoctrinate students in the outmost left leaning posture possible. My daughter came out of that university many years ago a full NDP supporter and I am sure today I was able to save her of that lunacy. Be extremely aware of this faculty's lunacy towards extreme left leaning lunacy views.
This is the university to choose to connect with Canada's next political leaders. The staff here are highly efficient, the affordable university buffet with the biggest selection + gaming systems built in is second to none, and the staff eagerly connect students with scholarship opportunities to intern or study abroad. I did 2 exchanges in Paris & Hong Kong through UOttawa's business school and was put in a program paying $4000 in addition to internship salary to do a summer internship in China or the United States. Clubs here are plentiful, and the campus population is very accepting of individual differences. Location? Always lots going on in Downtown Ottawa, just across the street from campus. Fellow Ontarians, note that 18 is the legal drinking age in the Quebec half of this city, you're legal from year 1, unlike in other Ontarian cities. Take my word for it, in comparison to schools like ESSEC France, UOttawa is top notch shots fired at ESSEC! You'll know what I'm talking about if you've exchanged there.
Near all activities, and or Capital and it's very bilingual french/english. It's perfect for students, it's a very friendly walking or public transit city.
