Studying in Ottawa has been a transformative experience; the faculty's dedication and support have truly empowered my child to excel academically and grow personally.

Uottawa make me, build me stronger. I never love such a school like UOttawa. I really recommend this school where you can find yourself and become a better you! All you have to do is being positive and brave. Best luck of your future endeavors.

Loved my time here and I’ll miss it very much. Had a great education that challenged me in all the right ways. Not every professor I had was groundbreaking as far as influence or teaching ability, but very few were what I would consider bad teachers. Quite a few will stick in my memory forever and I value what I’ve learned from them.

My limited time here was pretty good. Professors were a mixed bag from not so good to amazingly engaging. As with any education, it's what you make of it. I made a lot of great friends in a short time and I think it's an excellent school. The campus is beautiful and many of the buildings are gorgeous.

Ottawa University is a money grab, an elaborate scam that genuinely reflects the state of university education in our times...

Very impressed at how uOttawa students, faculty and President Frémont have defended the rights of their students to a free and open education by opposing efforts to selectively ostracize Israel. Congratulations to you all and the fine example you are setting by opposing the discriminatory BDS movement! “The University of Ottawa will have no part of the BDS movement nor any movement that boycotts academic institutions,” wrote President Jacques Frémont in a statement.

uOttawa has made my dreams possible. I would have never expected to bring my research to action, but the team at the University of Ottawa made it possible. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend!

First month in Ottawa and first month in University, I love the place. It has a large, beautiful campus, and it tries to offer as much activities as it can to its students. (I.e. clubs) and the professor's I've met so far are nice. he school continues to offer great services, such as stress management or tutors. The sight is still amazing. Staff and professors continues to be as helpful as they can (there are still exceptions and you might me THAT professor).

Most people tell me that they just like I feel ripped off by the administration of this university.
