I am from the Yukon and this school had a nice close location. The department also had a very good reputation. I also liked the course selection as compared to other universities that I was considering.
Course Curriculum
Since I am an honors student, my class choices are somewhat limited, but all the required courses are very interesting. The program also offers very interesting electives. I think the curriculum is shifting to focus on more practical work.
Exams
I didn't take any exams to be accepted at this university. I just had to apply online and submit my current grades.
Internship
Yes, they do, but we call it co-op. I made minimum wage when doing one. I worked for the university for four months in the summer of 2018 and gained a lot of valuable experience that turned into a work-study.
Fees
Tuition was due at the end of the first month of each semester. I find it less expensive than the tuition of other schools. We paid athletic fees etc. and also each co-op term you undertook cost you a fee.
Examination Structure
I don't have to do very many exams because most of my professors choose to assign final papers instead. I find the exams in this department much harder than final papers because they require you to memorize things which you don't necessarily have to succeed in the field.
Faculty
I've had nothing but good experiences. I've gotten close to quite a few staff who have become mentors to me and I often use them as references when applying for scholarships or jobs.
