The small size of Laurentian means more one on one time with professors, and placement oportunities you won't get anywhere else. The UNI is on a peninsula sounded by lakes and forest. This is the best place to go to school in Ontario.

This is a great university for International Students as this is comparatively cheap and well-organised.

Beautiful campus. The Internet quality was great, the staff are amazing and helpful, and the small classes make it like a family, and make it easier to get help. The food was tasty, and those who say the campus is old school must have not have seen all the renos they've done recently. It was like a home to me, and I still miss those days a lot.

I am in Chemistry (BSc and now MSc). Most of my profs (in my faculty) are great and some of them are a true inspiration! No bad experience yet (5 years)!

8.5:School is separated from rest of Sudbury as it's basically located on an island. Beautiful scenery, beach, and trails. Amazing profs that care about you. Nice ppl that are chill. Good off-res parties but not every1 drinks. However some facilities: out-of-date but improving. Overall I'm happy to come for SPAD. Housing near campus is hard to find

Probably the most crappiest school of Canada, those mentally challenged screwed up my class schedule ! Luckily (thank you Sainte-Anne !) I was able to get classes on campus instead but I'm considering changing my program as I'm disgusted by Laurentian, thank you Laurentian for making life miserable, no one will miss you when you'll fail ?

University of Sainte-Anne here,
It's really frustrating that Sainte-Anne choose to go with Laurentian, administration is abysmal, 2DL is quite subpar compared to Sainte-Anne and it's wishful thinking trying to get help from most professors there or administration, I do hope they'll fail and close their doors as they'll do society a favour

Laurentian have unlimited man-made crises which made it collapsed on its knees with the debt crisis. The toxic culture made learning impossible. Generally speaking, Profs are very bad and you can expect all kinds of miss-treatments from them. They became bankrupt with human moral values first; and as a consequence; they became financially bankrupt.

The worst school ive attended. The teachers dont care about you and about you being successful. The school doesnt even accommodate disabilities in a proper manner. The nursing department is totally unorganized. This school will blame you for your problems without reaching to help you out. Get out now.
Overall 1.3
There's always construction going on, the food gets boring after awhile, the campus is in the middle of no where and the profs/staff are horrible... it takes weeks to get ahold of someone and they never give a direct answer. Wouldn't recommend this school.
Overall 1.3
The staff members are rude. The school revolves around the library. The teachers make you write stupid assignments on the library and how to find a book in the library. Terrible school. DO not pick Laurentian.
Overall 1.4
Maybe not bad for undergraduate students. But not a good choice for master's students. Only care about making money from international students while providing bad quality and useless courses.
Overall 1.4
The campus relocated in my 3/4 years so I had to live 4 hours north against my will in the middle of nowhere for 8 months during the coldest winter. The staff are inconsistent with what courses you need to take. The residence is falling apart. The food is boiled which makes everything tasteless. Transport via bus is horrifically cramped. Don't go.
Overall 1.5
This school has the been the worst institution in Canada. I cannot begin to describe how awful it is. Please, do yourself a favour and avoid this school, go somewhere else. You wont be able to focus on your studies because of all the other bullsh*t you are forced to deal with. I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE !!!!!

It is very difficult to get any help from administration. Apart from the professors who have taught me, the rest of the school faculty has been difficult to work with, as they are incredibly unorganized.
