A great place to make your career.
Tips: There is a cultural shift. You will initially feel discomfort and excitement both at the same time. But when you will get assignments and work at the same time, you won't get time to think of that. Scholarships are for thesis based mostly. I applied for them, it's a bit competitive.
Dislikes (Part time work): As you enter, it's difficult to find on campus part time jobs unless you are in thesis based course. So even if part time job is not in your field, just try to grab it. I did my first part time job at a grocery store as a produce clerk. You need to find off campus jobs. It's manageable. You should do proper time management. 15 CAD per hour.

There are few local job opportunities and students needs to relocate after graduation.
Tips: UAlberta has excellent academic, research and work opportunities, and the campus and student life are pretty vibrant too. Diversity is pretty good, with people from all over the world. Moving to Canada was a big transition, but the UAlberta community made it easier. Overall, I loved my experience here.
Likes (Student Life): The University of Alberta has great spots on campus to study, like SUB, HUB, and a lot of libraries, all of which are very safe. There are also a lot of food options available in these places. There are a lot of club options—Indians Students Association, CS clubs, and many others—to keep students engaged.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Edmonton doesn't have a very large tech sector compared to cities like Toronto or Vancouver. This means fewer local job opportunities, and students often need to relocate after graduation for better job prospects. At least in tech fields like core engineering, there are opportunities right here.

My experiences in the University of Alberta was good.
Tips: The university is in Edmonton. Weather goes to -30 degrees in winter. Cannabis is legal here, so you will see many addicts on the street. Many homeless people near the downtown area. So avoid downtown. I am not that satisfied with my degree. I wanted to switch from software development to machine learning developed with this degree but I don't think I can do it.
Likes (Public transportation): Rate 5 due to robust public transportation. Campus seamlessly connected to the city via buses and Metro. The whole city is well connected. Transportation cost is included in the tuition fees. No need to pay extra for transportation. Uber is easily available if you want to go to a remote destination.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Rated 3 on post-study jobs due to limited visa sponsorship. Unsure about specific companies. Generally, job roles vary, but the average salary in Edmonton post-studies is around 50k. I got a job through my professor, got lucky with this one. But do not expect the same thing to happen with every student.

My journey here was amazing and exposure at University of Alberta is great.
Tips: Definitely there is a cultural shift. It is more about individuals here. Moreover, received a fund of around 21000 CAD/year, which covers my course fees, accommodation, and my living accommodation. This fund is part of my scholarship where the course fee is around 11k/year. CAD and for me the accommodation cost is around 580 CAD. I was very much satisfied with my university. One thing more is that I also received a one-time scholarship of 5000 CAD at the beginning of my programme.

They gave me opportunity.
Tips: Canada is foreigner country. So obviously there are many culture difference. But I love the culture here. I applied for scholarship before the starting of the college and they approved my scholarship. I get $10000 scholarship. All the process details available on the university website. I am satisfied with the University of Alberta and Canada.
Likes (Safety): Safety is the first priority of University of Alberta for students. Campus security team available 24/7 to maintain safe and secure campus environment. University of Alberta provide safety and security programme. Security patrol the campus and respond in emergency.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many food option available in Edmonton but the thing is foods are very expensive. Our area have different types of foods like Italian, Chinese, Indian, Mexican etc. If you are international student and doing part time job then the food is expensive for you. I prefer eating from home and cooking by myself, because it is very cheap.

Life changing college for me.
Tips: I am very shy type boy but after coming to Canada I completely changed and my network is big in Canada. When you leave your home country no one can be with you so you are solely facing all the problems and it is life changing for me. This country culture is different. I am not eligible for applying scholarship because my IELTS band is low. But I enjoyed to live in this country.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is best in university of alberta. Because they gives university of alberta student U-pass and who have U-pass they can unlimited access to light rail and tansit buses. It is more affordable compare to buy daily ticket. So most of the student have U-pass. And it's affordable.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Because our area lack of availability of Indian food. In our local area Indian foods are hard to find. Most of the hotel and restaurants are non-vegetarian. But all the foods are available in Edmonton. And eating outside is very costly for international students. So I prefer to cook by myself at home.
