I came to the University of Windsor from out of town. This has got to be one of the most underrated Universities! I cannot say enough about everything here. Quality Education, Helpful Services, Extracurricular, Affordability, even just walks/jogs along the riverfront... I love this place. I really fit right into the scene though and it was easy to become comfortable here from the beginning. If I had to be critical I would say that I wish they would expand the university area even more. They've done lots of renovations and have a lot of new buildings and exciting projects/things going on; the new engineering building/faculty is absolutely incredible. I think they need more buildings like that! They need to clean up some neighboring areas around the university too... Some are beautiful, like the older style homes and streets that have so much character, and others have the potential to be so nice but they just need some TLC!!!
Course Curriculum :
It's great, courses are usually good & very easy to understand. We have a law school unlike the majority of universities in Ontario which would benefit you a lot. There are big talks right now on moving the law school to the Paul Martin building downtown (very good new). Education is the same as the rest of Ontario. Contrary to what your friends tell you, only where you go for your graduate studies matters.
Fees :
Windsor has a small close-knit campus, great student life, and decent education, but most importantly for me, they didn't charge for disability services, a 2000 dollar hidden fee for students with learning disabilities at UofT. The ability to do a year's worth of courses at Wayne state university in midtown is a welcome advantage to the University of windsor, giving it an international edge no other school can compete with without any added costs. The best University for Masters program in Canada, high-quality education and great infrastructure.
Examination Structure :
That's the prof's decision to make. There's no fixed rule about it. No matter who marks it, there is no guarantee the exam will be marked right away. Talk with your professor, and explain why you need your marks right away. You might be able to persuade her to mark yours early and give you an unofficial final mark. But official final marks won't be posted until all the exams are marked, and the final grades are submitted for the whole class.
Faculty :
The University of Windsor is uniquely situated within one of the world\'s top Higher Education systems (Ontario Universities). The University of Windsor fosters a strong research culture without sacrificing its strong investment in teaching and learning. Academic programming includes a heaping helping of professional schools, several engaging programs in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and many Graduate and Ph.D. programs to round out the institution. It is the perfect place to find yourself in the world with a lot of faculty, staff, and students who will welcome you into their many communities.
