Well respected in a great location and even better campus. Fantastic opportunities and very entrepreneurial. Campus buildings are beautiful on the outside and for its age, the interiors are often very nice. Fantastic campus wide internet, personal routers in res-rooms. Under-rated meal hall. Excellent social life, campus is "just the right size".

Dorms are great, just watch out for meal hall. Its not the best. (it definitely could be better)

Great school especially if you are looking to do research on chemistry and biology.

Great University, choose it over other schools because of smaller class size. Learnt a lot from Professors, couple of them gave me good references for CO-OP jobs. I am not sure about other departments but Civil Engineering Department is one of the best in Canada.

I love it at UNB Fred! Stay in res is you can because being in Harrison house is my favourite part of university. The food isn't great, but it is worth going to UNB. I feel very safe on campus and there are some really great profs. I am very happy with my choice to go here, and hope to continue going here for the rest of my degree

I hate this school. So unorganized. Have never had an email answered. Previously went to Dalhousie university and this is 10 levels down from that. Not even comparable in terms of learning experience.
Overall 1.7
Absolutely horrendous university. Overcharging for parking and selling twice as many parking passes as there is spots. Raising tuition for what they say is training profs for virtual course delivery has been such a lie. No communication from profs to students. Health support on campus is also terrible. You're better off at CC than UNB.

Poorly organized Campus. Professors are kind of high school teachers. Registrar's office makes tons of mistakes.
