This is the university to choose to connect with Canada's next political leaders. The staff here are highly efficient, the affordable university buffet with the biggest selection + gaming systems built in is second to none, and the staff eagerly connect students with scholarship opportunities to intern or study abroad. I did 2 exchanges in Paris & Hong Kong through UOttawa's business school and was put in a program paying $4000 (in addition to internship salary) to do a summer internship in China or the United States. Clubs here are plentiful, and the campus population is very accepting of individual differences. Location? Always lots going on in Downtown Ottawa, just across the street from campus. Fellow Ontarians, note that 18 is the legal drinking age in the Quebec half of this city, you're legal from year 1, unlike in other Ontarian cities. Take my word for it, in comparison to schools like ESSEC France, UOttawa is top notch (shots fired at ESSEC! You'll know what I'm talking about if you've exchanged there.)

A very good place. This is my first time being in such big university i like everything about it. Food courts, places to study, gym, swimming pool

Great university! Very nice campus, very stylish building!

Beautiful well kept campus.

The school tries really hard to rectify any mistakes it makes, its affordable (im from ontario) thanks to OSAP, their teachers are really nice and they have adapted tremendously to the needs of Covid.

An excellent and beautiful university. It was founded in 1848 as the College of Bytown by the Mary Missionaries. Currently, this public university has more than 3,000 staff members and more than 34,000 students. Almost 70% of the classes are given in English and the rest in French. It has residences for the students, a Bioscience complex, Advance Research complex, Faculty of Engineering, Campus Boutique, Morisset Library, Languages Institute, Music School, Minto Sports Complex, Fitness Centre, Matt Anthony Field, Faculty of Education and many other facilities and things.

Literally nobody is picking up the phone, and I have probably contacted multiple people at this point. If your institution claims to care so much about "mental health" why not be more helpful to students. COVID is over, why not open up the phone lines??? Getting an email response takes way too long and I only get automated responses saying they are experiencing a "high number of emails". Maybe if you'd open up the phone lines you wouldn't have such an influx of emails!!! Disappointed and beyond frustrated.

Central location and clean amenities. Students are generally helpful. Feels multicultural. I would have loved to give uOttawa many stars but the treatment Part-time Professors receive is disappointing. PT profs are underpaid, and, in some cases, their payments are delayed!!! Does the university care? Unfortunately, the rift is wide between decision makers and change makers, PT Profs who shape education on the ground and who speak up for their rights regardless of being ignored, excluded or belittled!

Average Campus. Nice greenery and Parks. Lots of old and historic buildings. Not very clean and not as well maintained. Old area of the city.

I taught a geographic information systems workshop here and the facilities were wonderful and everyone was so nice.

(Oct 13, 2017) A really nice and cozy university. If they accept me I will move in a heart beat

There for my 4th Covid shot, sort of busy, but staff on hand doing a fantastic job moving people along. Definetly knew what they were doing. Fantastic job.

Love my prof. They are amazing, could deal without all the truckers. Also, free condom supply in the bathroom is gassss! #safesexpromotion

Wonderful campus, although scattered, great infrastructure and vibe.

We were at the arena of the GG's. The main arena is very. The practice one is just that for practice with no spectators unless you go to 2nd level to watch. A nice bilingual University in Ottawa.

I'm studying an online M.Ed part-time. However, due to an error on the university's end, I have no access to enrollment - this has been explicitly stated by a member of the graduate education faculty. Now all the classes I need are filled up, the graduate education faculty are telling me the problem is resolved (it isn't), and I won't be able to continue my graduate studies simply because the functionality of the university's website is completely broken for me (with no possible alternative route to enroll in courses). Genius. Bravo uOttawa. Thanks.

The biggest scam of a students career, don’t waste your money on the cold, lifeless overly woke “bilingual” (it’s only french they care about) useless excuse for a university. You couldn’t get me to go back there if they paid for my entire education.

One of the top ten universities in Canada i guess. Good structure n sensitive to the needs of PWDs as well

The University of Ottawa was first established as the College of Bytown in 1848 by the first bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa, Joseph-Bruno Guigues.Placed under the direction of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, it was renamed the College of Ottawa in 1861 and received university status five years later through a royal charter.On 5 February 1889, the university was granted a pontifical charter by Pope Leo XIII, elevating the institution to a pontifical university.The university was reorganized on July 1, 1965, as a corporation, independent from any outside body or religious organization. As a result, the civil and pontifical charters were kept by the newly created Saint Paul University, federated with the university. The remaining civil faculties were retained by the reorganized university.

Great bilingual university in the national capital!! Large variety of programs offered. Some of their student services could be improved though.

Awesome university. Awesome staff. Awesome students. Awesome Poutine from food truck!

Very helpful and clear guidance for students. The faculty admistrative department is readily available to answer student queries in person. There are other universities in Ottawa who are still working remotely and students find it very difficult incase of queries and there is no in person guidance.

How can the University provide proper education when one of its professors, Ivan Katchanovski, teaches at the School of Political Studies and the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs? This guy is just a valuable russian asset and continues to teach East European history.
