Friendly and well-established public university.
Tips: Students should know that being on campus is the best way to get to know about the University as well as the cultural gap and the environment. Campus like Thompson River University East Village and McGill Residence are among the best. Make sure you are paced with clothes as they are definitely cheaper than the North American market.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The immigration system involves two options such as Express Entry and BC PNP which is a provincial nomination. Those who came after 12th won't qualify for the Express entry option as you need at least an undergraduate degree to apply for permanent residence.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Most of the business faculty is top notch but the accounting department lacks a lot of quality. My major is accounting for the third year. The faculty is not the best as compared to the business department. But I do recommend accounting in general as there are many job options in Kamloops itself.

Friendly campus & multicultural college.
Tips: I prepared few items as a PDF before coming Kamloops. The resume should be according to the Canadian market. It will give students a head up to find part-time positions. - You can work as many hours as you want if you work on campus.
Likes (Safety): Close proximity to law enforcement offices. Panic/Alarm system near campus for emergencies. Public transportation till late night (1 Am in Summer/ 1130 PM winters). Campus services have been improved over the last 2 years with options like Kami Cabs, Ride and Yellow Cabs. The services can be pre-booked.
Dislikes (Internships): Students have the option for Co-op in which you will first pay for the course after that once they get the job offer they will be paying again. A platform will be provided to look for internships and specific jobs. -The co-op course teaches you about mock interviews, cover letters and resume building with job fairs all according to the Canadian market.

Serene surroundings, Home away from home.
Tips: If you love small towns you should choose this place. Everyone knows everyone which sometimes is annoying. There is rarely anything to do. However, it is a beautiful place. Personally, I love big cities as it might give you more exposure but if you want peace and good scenic beauty Kamloops is a beautiful place.
Likes (Safety): Safety depends on the preferred location one stays. According to me, it is safe as I stay in on-campus residence. But if you are mature to take care of yourself you are good. I faced a safety issue with one of my roommates when I stayed off campus which made me change my accommodation to on campus.
Dislikes (Internships): There are campus job fairs. There is very limited job opportunities in my domain. So, I may consider relocating after my studies. It has very less jobs in Human resources which is what I have observed so far. However if one is smart enough they can land a decent job.

I personally like town life that is the reason I chose this college.
Tips: One should be prepared to adapt to everything. You are coming here to become successful. You have to bring tremendous change in your personality and lifestyle to achieve it. The weather is not that bad here as compared to other cities of Canada. Small town-like vibe with friendly neighbours.
Likes (Part time work): I rated Part time job 5 because I got the job within 10 days. Moreover, almost every International student I met in Kamloops has a job so that won't be an issue for anyone who is planning to come to TRU. Minimum wage in Kamloops (British Columbia ) is the highest among all the provinces in Canada.
Dislikes (Public transportation): We only have bus services as our primary mode of transportation. While it is cost effective it lacks reliability. Depending on the bus alone to get you to your destination in time is a bit challenging. To ensure punctuality it is advisable to take at least 30 minds of buffer. It gets worse in winter due to snowfall and blocked roads.

Not the best, nor the worst. Beautiful small city, fun-filled university experience.
Tips: TRU isn't a prestigious university, it is however a public university which is comparatively less expensive when compared to others, hence why most people decide to join TRU for the "University" and student life which you might not get in a college. Securing a part-time job may be challenging at first, will have to be patient and give it some time as competition is getting fierce. More and more students are coming to Kamloops with not many new opportunities arising, the same goes with accommodation. Housing rates keep rising. My gentle advice would be; don't come with high expectations, and you won't be disappointed.
Likes (Safety): So far I haven't felt threatened by anyone or any situation. However, there are safety concerns with regard to homeless individuals and so-called "junkies" in certain parts of the city. But they are harmless until and unless teased or disturbed.
Dislikes (Internships): Many programs in TRU do not offer internships. Only Bachelor programs have an option of doing an internship, more commonly known as Co-op. Course loads are quiet hectic for Masters students, whereas PBD courses are rather easier to pass. Course structures are well-designed and the professors are great, with excellent experience and knowledge.
