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 security and resources like the DalSafe app, which offers emergency contacts, incident reporting, and personal safety tools. Personally, Halifax also has a visible police presence, particularly in student areas, and reliable public transit that makes travelling around the city feel safe.
Dislikes (Part time work): I rated part-time work as 3 because, while there are some on-campus job opportunities at Dalhousie, competition is high, making them limited. These roles include positions in libraries, labs, and student services. Off-campus, Halifax offers options in retail, food service, and events, but students often need to look early and be proactive. Balancing part-time work with academics can be challenging, especially during busy semesters, so good time management is key. The average payout for the part-time work is between $15.20 - 16.20 per hour.

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 the airport. Also, the university has great accessibility to the downtown and there will be frequent buses and a number of stops to avail public transportation.
Dislikes (Part time work): On campus Part time jobs are usually hard to get. Off campus part time jobs are relatively easy to find. MACS course is a bit exhaustive course, so you have to get your basics ready before you join the course as you have to find the right balance between part time and course exams and assignments. The average pay at the moment would be 14-15 CAD.

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 students as you pay for them in your fees.
Dislikes (Value for money): The course provides a lot of opportunities and demand is high for IT professionals in Halifax. Most of students get a job within 6 months depending on the intensity of the job search, skills and passion for the industry but the starting pay is good as compared to money spent on education.

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 sometimes create confusion.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Groceries are not available everywhere and even if they are, its very costly. Restaurants are costly for students and food is not authentic. Tiffin services are available now but still costly for students. There are some local grocery stores which imports some food from country of origin but they are costly too when compared with the minimum wage given here.

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 for them, competition is really high.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not many vegetarian options available. If you are comfortable with non-vegetarian options then it's fine. I prefer to cook at home because it is both healthy and affordable. Eating outside is quite expensive here, a simple meal will cost more than 40 Dollars.
