As a master's student from the Department of Computer Science, I would like to mention that even though the department is small, we have the flexibility and freedom to perform research in our desired areas which is the best part of studying at this school.

I love UofL and have enjoyed my entire experience. I have had excellent proffesors for the most part, and have always felt safe and cared for. There are tons of learning, social, and career opportunities at this university if you are willing to look. There is literally always someone to help if you need it. I have really enjoyed my time at UofL!

Lethbridge University does not its your students or care for them. Their No. 1 methodology is shame and indoctrination. I am a Christian Female. I have been told that my religion is the 'root of all evil'. I have been told that Jesus Christ and God are myths used to keep people in ignorance. If you believe in god - stay away from this school.

Once you get past the first year excitement, this school is terrible. At least the bio and chem departments are. They are full of bigots and good luck getting good grades. It almost seems like a sport in these departments to see who can give out the lowest grades. Some of the newest profs in the bio department are deplorable. Go elsewhere!

I returned here for graduate school after having a fantastic undergrad experience. My instructors were transformational and inspiring except for one. This one instructor soured the whole experience for me. When I reached out to exercise my voice, this campus does NOT support its students or its own policies that this teacher repeatedly breached.

If you can, avoid this university. Prof doesn't really care if a student were to cheat/plagiarize. Hard to get into courses that you want to get into, as they might kick you out of the course depending on what year you are in. Taking a lot of useless courses to fill up the degree requirement.

School is atrocious, was originally built to be a prison, don't expect the experience to be any nicer than a jail. Good luck finding an outlet if you need a charge between classes. No real common area for students to sit, talk and do assignments, except the library. DO NOT eat the food there, chicken is served medium rare at best. 75% of profs suck

If you're from Lethbridge, stay here because its relatively cheap. If you're not from Lethbridge, go elsewhere.

University of Lethrbdige is a joke. If you actually want to succeed in your career, choose a different school. The city is super sketchy and there is nothing to do. The university offers no opportunities and lets anybody who applies in.

I came here with such high hopes, since it's a smaller school than UofC and UofA but still had well rounded programs, especially education. After two years of the pandemic and a preventable strike, I tell anyone this who wants to come here to the run the other way. They do NOT CARE ABOUT THE STUDENTS, JUST YOUR MONEY!! Place reeks of incompetency.

wifi is horrible, registering for classes is a pain because everything gets full so fast. its almost impossible to graduate on time sometimes
