I came to Guelph because the campus was so small compared to many other schools I toured. When I visitors for the first time, I loved how the campus felt like a community that fully supported each other, compared to other schools that are all about competition.
Course Curriculum
It's okay but doesn't exactly teach us what we need to know for work. After having a coop term I felt that I learned more than was taught in the past two years. I also find that there is a big jump in difficulty for some courses, which makes the end of the second year incredibly difficult and intimidating.
Fees
Many fees are frustrating to have to pay. For example, we have to pay a fee for the gym but that doesn't give us even close to decent access to the gym and the fee is mandatory. We also have to pay money for a bunch of school clubs that add up to a lot of money that most students don't have an excess of.
Examination Structure
The exam structure varies depending on the course being taken. But almost all exams are in person and are a mix of short answer, long answer, multiple-choice and some true or false. The multiple-choice and true or false are filled out on scantron cards as well.
Faculty
Most of the faculty are great, some are very rude in person and super nice during lectures. Which makes it hard to approach them if I have any questions or concerns.
