Terrific school! Top notch profs and gorgeous campus!

The social sciences are taken over by far-left agenda pushers who would run the world in a totalitarian state if it were up to them. Do not come in hopes to share ideas since they will be shot down by Stalin's U of S purple-haired henchmen! Other than that mostly great folks as peers! A lot of teachers and grad students are communists...

INcredible work towards TRC and the 2025 strategic plan. Many funding opportunities and work opportunities... If you look for it!! SO grateful to be a USASK student.

Worst school for health coverage. Iv been trying to figure out if me and my son are actually covered and they have been giving the run around and different answers 4 times now, since the beginning of the school year. Company does not communicate well at all between eachother. Hands down U of R is better.

The university keeps increasing tuition without any changes in the quality. They

They do not have many opportunities for anything. Clubs are boring and so are the professors. First-year courses are tough for no reason. Again not many options for certificates and none for associate degrees. Very unhappy place.

Old school black chalk board, overhead projectors. Make me feel like i'm in the 19th century. Don't even get me started on Saskatoon as a 'city'...
Overall 1.7
Usask is a school that is lacking in so many areas, and is plagued by bad leadership. Mismanaged funds, lack of improvement year in and year out, and a disproportionate focus on political ideologies/pushing agendas make this a poor university to attend. Go elsewhere if you can.

If you aren't going for Agriculture or a related science field, you can get a better education that's worth the ever-increasing tuition somewhere else. Once you start here your credits are near impossible to get a proper transfer anywhere, so once you start you're stuck.
L School.

This school does not support their students. They continue to take our tuition money and make no changes to improve the university or its programs.

Winter is FREEZING cold. If you are in the Humanities, avoid this university. It is an agriculture hub and heavy science / health focus.

It's not the worst school, but if I had the chance to go anywhere but here I would. The location is nice, right near the hospital, close to both 8th street and Preston so If you live on campus grocery stores are easy to get to. The food could be a lot better, I thought after high school the food court would be great, looks like I was sadly mistaken

I have had nothing but difficulties with this university. I have been a student here for 4 years and there have been numerous mistakes made to the point that I have been delayed graduation TWICE. Nothing but a number and tuition money to them. I will say I do like how the university is connected with tunnels and some profs were okay. Bowl is nice.
