Carleton University boasts an excellent reputation for its meal program, cafe, and two bars. The campus is located in a quiet neighborhood for studying, between the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal in a beautiful setting. The city is well-served by Ottawa's comprehensive bus and OTrain network.

Reputable programs at Carleton include the Sprott School of Business, the Institute for Advanced Research and Innovation Smart Environments (ARISE), which focuses on applied research in the areas of clean technology, health technology, and communications technology, and the schools of journalism, architecture, industrial design, and public administration. There is a strong buzz at the university from the political atmosphere of the nation's capital combined with the activity of the journalism and public administration schools.
