Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Batch of 2026
3.9
The university is good but getting a scholarship for a course-based student is quite difficult.
Tips: Working while studying is quite stressful. If you are going to take a course-based Master's, this university is good. Remember tuition fee is high. Accommodation and expenses are manageable. Getting a scholarship for a course-based student is quite difficult. Until and unless you are a toppers of each semester, you can get some scholarship. The faculty are helpful and will assist and guide you throughout. Personally, it's a bit stressful for me to do a Master's in this course but worth it at the end. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Awesome college and good facilities for overall growth.
Tips: Lakehead University was a great experience. They provide good education and also provide placements after college term. They also have extracurricular activities that are very helpful for graduation. If you want to pursue your graduation, then Lakehead University is a very good choice.
Likes (Safety): There are regular safety checks and police patrols. Police barricading is in place, and police are only 5 minutes away if needed. Plus, the country is one of the safest in the world, and the crime rate is very low.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The transportation system is well maintained but it takes more time to get to nearby places because the buses stop at every mile. Also some routes have fewer buses which can cause problems for passengers.
