- Quality of Student Life 4.2
My Take on Guelph
I love the University. I am in Marketing Management and I definitely chose the right program. Everything I learn is interesting and it makes me more motivated to do my schoolwork. I LOVE the campus. It is very small but it is comfortable. It is a 15 minute walk from one end to the other which makes for easy commuting to different classes. Some buildings are a little tricky to navigate but it gets easier as the time goes on. The student life at Guelph is amazing. I have made so many good friends. It is a fun school. I have dealt with a few questionable professors during my time here. But it was nothing I couldn't manage. I think that if you are thinking about applying to Guelph that you should do it! It is my home away from home. When I have to go home for the breaks I genuinely get sad because I miss it that much.
