The food is the best! Campus is very safe and welcoming. Good parties/bars & it is easy to make friends. Co-op opportunities are AMAZING! Lots of cute campus study spots too. Also the best university gym I have ever seen/been to.

Guelph university has one of the lowest rankings, but it's tuition is the same as UoT in phil. I regret not having gone to UoT. The only good teacher here is Dorter who is eloquent and experienced. The rest, however, have a superficial understanding of phil but are full of themselves. UoG forces you what to take in 3rd and 4th year levels.

This is a good school, just don't expect to make any friends here. Everyone is cliquey or either commuting back and forth, if you are not a residence.
