Bachelor of Business Administration - Batch of 2026

Offered by University of the Fraser Valley

Transformative journey to confidence and skills at Fraser Valley University.

Tips: Before joining Fraser Valley University I was very underconfident. However, my experience here has been transformative. I took part in almost all events, which helped me to step out of my comfort zone and engage with diverse groups. The student company programme was particularly impactful allowing me to gain valuable skills in marketing. Over time, my involvement in various activities and programs significantly boosted my confidence and improved my public speaking abilities. The only advice I would want to give to future incoming students is that we have ample opportunities ready it's on you to take that chance and participate in them.

A very good college to be a student of

Tips: Canada is a good country for Indian students. Average students also do good. Fee is not that much compared with other Canada colleges. I got no scholarship myself. Semester wise fees has to be deposited and teachers are from many countries China, France, UK which is very good. I don't know about the job because I have just started. It is more expensive than India but part-time job helps so much to lessen the burden.

Great contributor to personal & professional growth.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that there is a significant difference between the Canadian and Indian education curriculum. This difference can cause a cultural shift that can be difficult to adjust to. It is important to stay focused on your courses and assignments and meet all deadlines. Exams can be stressful, but if you know where you stand, you will be fine.

Likes (Student Life): There are so many fun activities on campus, and people are always there to share problems with. There are also so many facilities such as counselling, internships and student clubs. There are programs such as student magazines, and student company programmes that teach you how real companies work.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The public transportation system in the city where the college is located is quite bad, especially for those who come from a distance. The transportation system in Canada is much better. In the city where the college is located, the transportation system is of poor quality, cabs are expensive, and there is a lot of traffic during peak office hours.

Affordable yet good university.

Tips: The campus here at Abbotsford is not that big, the university as compared to other universities is small in size but it is good only because you get to interact with people more while you see them everyday. Class size is small so there is more individual attention, professors who taught me were very knowledgeable and practical, knowing how it works in the industry. There is Tim Hortons in the campus where you can sit and enjoy with your friends, library is well-equipped. There are books out of the syllabus too. I'll prefer you to stay outside campus only there are not many options for on-campus housing. Culture here is very diverse and everyone is good. If you want to study in a university with affordable fees and good facilities in Canada then you should take admission here.

Fun and loving student life.

Tips: There was a slight cultural change but not that much. It was easy for me to cope with everything. I did not get or apply for any scholarships but I am fully satisfied with my university and the country which is Canada and the province is British columbia.

Likes (Safety): The university provides 24/7 security and counselling and other facilities too. I had a good experience cause every student in the university is willing to help others. Just to brief it that even if it's late and you are roaming outside and you need any help, the security guards are present and students will help you.

Dislikes (Internships): There are not as many internship options available at my university. But the thing is that my university regularly sends me internships and openings offers depending on the courses and requirements. A student can apply for the position by passing an interview and other procedures.
