University 1 Review
My experience at University of Manitoba was smooth. They offer many resources for their students, especially first year student. They offer free academic support (the expenses are included in your tuition), such as tutoring various support programs like charge ahead and even mental health counselling. The staff and different offices here are very helpful, respectful and resourceful. The professors I've encountered so far have also been very good at what they do.
