It is the way you look at it. If you want to just study well or be just well to study.

Tips: Just be prepared that everything is going to be different from what we have seen in India. Be open to learning anything and leave the attitude we have in India despite being from a Rich or Poor family. Start to learn and explore according to your life goal. Check with the university and the agents how the scholarship works. If you have managerial experience, please work on it and not get enrolled on a foundation course.

Likes (Public transportation): You just need to get the hang of the location where you and the University are. You will find multiple options and can travel around easily. We have accessible sky trains, and buses everywhere. A bit of walking is needed though. Check with people around you if there are easy ways to reach your destination in less time.

Dislikes (Value for money): We need to be more understanding of how the courses we selected or were opted for, this can save a lot of money. We need to take multiple opinions before we opt for any course. Also, the comparison has to be done from one University to the other. You should be confident enough to avail as many offers or scholarships as we can.

Stressful and helpful. Students can face a hard time financia as courses are expensive

Tips: Courses are expensive so accumulating fees for each semester can be difficult. All this needs to be planned early so this is not a last-minute stress factor for students coming to Canada. Finding jobs can also be difficult. These are the things students should know before joining.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Very helpful and welcoming faculty. Maintain a good rapport with the faculty members as they are very helpful towards the students. Faculty members are considering and willing to help as long as they see you put in effort. This is why I have rated 5 for faculty.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Cut-off scores in Canada can be a huge headache and the process can be really tiring and exhausting despite the time money and efforts we international students have put in. This can be a very stressful process. This is why I have rated 3 on permanent residency immigration or settlement options.

One will experience diversity in culture.

Tips: There wasn't any cultural shift to be honest. But there is a lot of diversity in this University and all the students respect and value every culture around. The atmosphere is really productive. I availed 6k CAD as scholarship on the basis of my Bachelor's result. I am very satisfied with my University.

Likes (Student Life): There are lot of events, workshops, and volunteer opportunities for students to take part in. The unique trait of this university is that it actually give attention to each and every student to help them flourish. They also celebrate festivals across the region to help students learn about and celebrate various cultures around the globe.

Dislikes (Internships): Very strict guidelines to be able to get one. Moreover, getting an internship in the respective field of study is hard in general. Furthermore, there is fierce competition in the market as one has to compete with elite universities in the same province, such as UBC, SFU, and BCIT.

I like my college very much as there are so much things on campus to do if we get bored

Tips: Since I moved to Canada, there has been a lot of change in my life as I started making new friends. In India, we speak in our local language but in Canada, I have to only speak in English which made me more fluent. I thought there would be a cultural difference but the day before yesterday only our college threw a Diwali party for the students which made us like we were in our own country. I got scholarship on a merit and on IELTS basis which was 45% of the total course fees. I am pretty much satisfied with the university and the teachers and the managing staff are quite helpful to the students coming from India especially.

Dislikes (Safety): There are shuttle services which students can apply by their university identity card to opt for a discount on monthly passes. Safety wise Vancouver is pretty much safe. There are discounts on grocery stores and in Target they have a scheme for the students like 15-20 percent off on the college goodies.

Overall it is a good experience to study in University Canada West

Tips: I would say that one student should understand the requirements of the subject which students have chosen. Because there is a lot of difference in the structure of the study. Please pay close attention to the assignment for eg plagiarism APA etc. For scholarships, students have to maintain 72% or 3 CGPA grades in order to be eligible.

Dislikes (Internships): I have not heard of any internship programs at the university. I got to know from my seniors that only selected students get the chance for internships. Only those who have outstanding scores throughout the course.

One of the best reputed colleges in British Columbia.

Tips: The college has a very good curriculum. They are very focused on what the students need after completing their Masters. Anyone new joining the college should focus on selecting the correct professor as this is very important. They have very good scholarship programs which help students.

Likes (Indian Food): We have many Indian food options in Vancouver city. There are many Indian stores where we can get Indian groceries easily. Many are worried about the utensils, but we get all Indian utensils here so people should not be worried about it. It's available very easily.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of opportunities in Canada but they all require a lot of references, which is difficult to find. Another difficulty is that we come from different countries so our resumes are not as per Canadian job market requirements. Lastly, in consideration of our PR, they do not consider our past experiences.
