Meet your classmates
I found that the support for international students at the University of Guelph was unlike any other school I applied to. The Office of Intercultural Affairs made the admissions process smooth and enjoyable for me and my family.
Finding out that the environmental management program at U of G enables me to improve corporate sustainability made me feel like I had found my career niche.
Aside from making the best friends and connections with my professors, I love how everything that I’m learning can be applied in real life. Whether it is food chemistry or sensory evaluations, I can really see myself using the knowledge that I’ve gained in the future.
I decided to study at U of G because of the amazing landscape architecture program! I loved that it combines science and design, as well as being the only accredited undergraduate landscape architecture program in Canada. I had only heard good things about the community and culture here at Guelph.
I like how likeminded and driven everyone is, and how approachable and helpful the professors and teaching staff are.
