University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC)

I liked the modern buildings specially the glass parts. The dorms were quite equipped too but they are not well cleaned.The housekeeping is not good at all.

Beautiful campus! Really neat how most of the buildings are connected on the main level. I can see how this would be appreciated in the depths of a PG winter! Location is a bit out of the way. Parking is a bit confusing too... I drove around for a bit looking for a pay stationary finally realized that first you park and then walk Into one of the buildings to pay - that was a new one for me, and was not well explained with the available signage.

I have always appreciated the beauty in and surrounding this amazing small campus. Going there feel connection to community, nature and diverse individuals. Lovely place to study, wander, explore, learn!

UNBC is a beautiful campus! It's amazing to be surrounded by so much greenery.I like how straight forward the layout is. The pieces of art showcased on campus is proof of how unique the campus is.

This is an amazing place to study while you get closer to the north. I am happy to be here and most of all for being a grad student. We are all timberwolves! #UNBC

Nice place if you’re not an outgoing person or if enjoy to focus on your studies. Beautiful campus, but not enough study places. For example the library closes at 11 pm (on weekdays), as a night owl that is when I start studying at times. To this the dining hall is closed off to people that are not on the meal plan and cost around 20 or so bucks to get in otherwise. There is a new (great) study area but it is only for engineers and planners, which is a shame. Great profs and with more freedom (and better pay) they would be even more awesome. The only down side is not enough outdoor projects... which is interesting because we are surrounded by an amazing forest. If you don’t have to go to residence, don’t. I’ve had so many problems with them and they do not seem to care for their students (my experience, might be different for others). But res is close by and I still am in it, due to confinience. The dining hall made a bunch of people sick last semester and it is increadibly hard to get out of it when you are on residence. But I somewhat enjoy my studying here. It has a couple of skiing hills close by and downtown has nice restaurants. Dont know if I would do it all again, because it is super stressful (the uni life) and I miss the ocean.

I love this university from my whole heart. Finished my ESL course before the 1st year of Social Work program. Enjoyed ice fishing and snow sports a lot in PG!

If your an international student I strongly recommend that you dont pay application fees before knowing the hidden policies , like in my case my GPA is not 2.23 and they rejected my application because my last 12 months in my previous bachelors was below 2.0 regardless that i graduated with that GPA , so if your an international student again I recommend you ask about everything before you pay

Rarely have people on staff. Huge wait periods. Slow responses. Constant rescheduling.Just needed a signature. Took 3 months.

Profs have wide and varied background, program options are extensive, one of the best value Universities in Canada.
