As an undergraduate student in Computer Systems Engineering, I don't always have a good experience at Carleton. All the professors I had were knowledgeable in their field, but only about 2/3 of them could teach effectively. For the remaining 1/3, I had to retort to online alternatives such a watching a video series on the same course for free on YouTube (or Khan Academy) to get a better sense on concepts. It doesn't make sense how those lessons helped me understand more than the actual courses I paid a lot for. Even the textbooks explained concepts better than the professors could. In total, l only failed two courses, which I had to retake in the Summer. I noticed that the professors of Summer classes tend to be more passionate and had better pacing, which helped me actually learn. It made me realize that some professors may be only hired based on their knowledge instead of both their knowledge and their skill of conveying information effectively. If that is true, I wish more consideration was put into the quality of how materials are being taught. I still have about one or two years of classes left, and I'm dreading of having another course with a bad enough experience that can almost jeopardize other courses I do in parallel.

As the only English-language University in Ottawa, this was my go to preference. Many of them who work at the University aren't great, they're able to mislead racially different people off from services and from beneficial information. I believe invisible racism and classism is very much alive in the campus. Only by systemically removing structures that are infected and replacing them with structures that doesn't have supporting features to grow or nurture them could solve these problems. I also don't think many know or are interested in knowing about their work than they are in swiveling around their chairs. Most often they're very much spiteful by the very fact someone racially different is asking them about the services they provide and about the fine print. Emails are always lost in the infinite e-world. If this is the case here, I am sure it would be very bad at uOttawa. I wish AI will very soon change the education sector and will make education accessible for everyone. If sources of human and systemic prejudice is removed from educational services, more than half of the problems wouldn't be an issue. Anyhow, I might delete this later on.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

The campus is quite spacious and has enough residence buildings for students. The library is well-equipped, and the classrooms are nice. Most buildings are connected by tunnels, which is quite convenient. The meal plan is good and popular among the students. Overall, the quality of student life is good. However, adding CCTV surveillance in the tunnel areas would be beneficial for students who attend late evening classes.

  • Teacher David de la Peña

A really nice university with amazing locations and facilities. I will never get tired of visiting it. The buffet three times a day is great. The Rideau Canal passes along its side. There are two train stations within the Campus and the green is everywhere. The tunnels help us to avoid rain, snow or heat. Beautiful and amazing.

Pursing my Masters in electrical and computer engineering. A very beautiful campus on both fall and winter. You can notice lots of activities going through out the semesters. Good commute systems and infrastructures. And I like my University.

  • Gabriel Qitsualik

People from Carlton University don't make room for family and kids to sit down and I had to put my kids on the wheel well as they wouldn't let my kids sit. The bus driver did nothing to help
