Dalhousie University: A supportive, inclusive environment for academic and personal growth.

Tips: Students joining Dalhousie University should know it provides strong academic support, career services, and a diverse student community, though the workload can be intense. I adjusted well, experiencing a cultural shift towards independent living and self-advocacy. I haven't received a scholarship, but some are available. Overall, I'm satisfied with Dalhousie, my programme, and Canada's inclusive environment, which supports both learning and practical experience.

Likes (Safety): Dalhousie provides strong campus...

Awesome Dalhousie Journey

Tips: There are no cultural shifts after coming here. Also, it depends on your academics to avail scholarships as you should be attaining top grades in all courses to avail them. And I am greatly satisfied with the university and country except for the harsh winter climates from December to March-April.

Likes (Public transportation): Transportation is awesome as public transportation is free when you are a student and we can have great accessibility around downtown. All parts of the city are well connected with metro buses including...

Dalhousie University is good but it still has a lot of potential to be better.

Tips: Transitioning here is quite easy and everything is well structured. Also, there is a large base of Indian students here which makes everything easier. I didn't secure any scholarship. I am enjoying my time at my university. I am satisfied with my decision to do my masters here.

Likes (Internships): Most of the seniors got their internships but still, some were not able to secure an internship position. I will not say there are a plethora of opportunities here nor are there no opportunities. We have opportunities but...

University is one of the best in Canada

Tips: The education is world class and cutting edge. Very different from India and required a lot of self-studying and hard work. Be ready to put in a lot of hours and also discipline will go a long way. Make sure to learn skills rather than getting grades, it will help you a lot in the long run.

Likes (Public transportation): Cheap and safe, there is no metro or trains only transportation available are buses but it’s extensive. The buses run till late and cover most of the city. The service is really good and the buses are free for...

Tough academics, average lifestyle and very expensive tuition fee

Tips: Make sure what is the tuition fees and what you require to complete the program. No scholarships for international students are given. The college has good campus area, its within city and accessible. Not a lot of on campus jobs. Some courses have 5 days classes so it can be difficult for part time work.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Not all professors are that great. Some have extensive knowledge and some do not. Subjects are not regularly taught by the same professors. Professors try different teaching approaches which some...
