The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) is a Canadian public research university, founded in 1907, and located on the east side of the South Saskatchewan River in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. An "Act to establish and incorporate a University for the Province of Saskatchewan" was passed by the provincial legislature in 1907. It established the provincial university on April 3, 1907 "for the purpose of providing facilities for higher education in all its branches and enabling all persons without regard to race, creed or religion to take the fullest advantage". The University of Saskatchewan is the largest education institution in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is also the only Canadian University that has a partnership agreement with University of Oxford. The University of Saskatchewan is one of Canada’s top research universities (based on the number of Canada Research Chairs) and is a member of the U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Putting all the stress of studying and University aside, the U of S is really nice. Most people you run into here are really laid back and nice! The campus itself is gorgeous in the summer and fall seasons. Wish there was more variety in terms of places to eat, the few restaurants they have in Place Riel get old after a short amount of time. Also wished there were more places to study, most places you go to are full during normal class hours. Parking too is an absolute nightmare if you don't have a parking pass. This however, does not take away from everything else that makes Usask great!

Very beautiful campus - lots of trees, paths, and very architecturally beautiful buildings. I have had very good experiences with all the classes I have taken - professors are qualified and for the most part care about your education. People are pretty friendly and welcoming to everyone. The biggest downfall is the lack of parking and parking prices. You can pay for a pass, but it is expensive and typically still a 5-10 minute walk or more. Pay parking lots are too expensive for the average student. Our bus system is such a fail that driving and paying for parking is often necessary. The arts parking lot is probably the best (lots of spots and not too cramped) but it often fills up. Admissions applications into the various colleges can be a little vague (can't easily make changes) so filling out the application with a counselor is ideal.

Attended post-secondary education here a few years ago. The campus is beautiful at anytime throughout the year but especially spring fall. Outside of Thorvaldson with the fall leaves makes for picturesque scenery.

Communication was poor. Even after sending all the required documents, they never update the application profile. All emails and phone calls went unanswered. All they needed to do was just communicate whether accepted or rejected.
Huge disappointment...huge!

Amazing place full of talented professionals! Hopefully soon will be part of this great institution and I will be able to give my best to increase the quality!

This university silences free speech and academic freedom. One should be aware of their abusive ways to silence critics and/or professors who speak out against their policies. Example: They fire a tenured professor and director of Health because he wrote a simple letter.

I have a fondness for the U of S as my alma mater. They've continued to expand and improve programs as well as infrastructure. A fine and well respected institution, in a lovely city.

Just speaking of the campus itself:
A wonderful place, but it's only pretty during the summer with all the flowers. During the school season, they usually plot of over all the plants after 1 week and then setup orange barricades for all the construction they will be doing.
