Good reviews

It's a great school. I don't know why everyone is rating it so bad. I do not live on campus but there is no issues with this school. Currently building a whole new residence, campus is very clean and modern, very safe, tons of clubs, and lots of food on and off campus. Professors are very knowledgeable as well.

Good and one of the best
Overall 4.6
I love this University and the faculty I'm studying with, I would recommend it to anyone who asks. The professors care about you both individually and academically. The campus is clean and I think really pretty. Campus is mostly centralized to one part of the city, which I really appreciate.
Overall 4.6
Great place, good programs, fun residences for first year, good gym/athletics. Proximity to pro sports in Detroit are great too. Strongly recommend the business program as well.
Overall 4.6
I can't speak for the whole school because I know some departments are underfunded but their medical school and law school have an amazing reputation around the country. Especially the Single JD program. The professors are helpful, and the campus is decent, however, the food service is not the best, considering most food places close by 7pm.

The University of Windsor is a much better school than they're given credit for.
Overall 4.4
Love this school. Lots of undergrad research if you're in STEM, i was in a lab by week 3 of first year. Some profs are better than others but there is a big support system in place and resources available. I like the campus, some buildings are old and some are new. It's a good school and lots to do being that Detroit is right there.
Overall 4.2
A really good engineering university, with great education and campus life (not mentioning the great people I met). Moreover, there are some bad professors and many that are great, just like any university, there are good professors and there are bad ones. I highly suggest taking the opportunity and go look at the campus with its facilities.
Overall 4.2
Warmest in Ontario, closest to the States with Detroit shopping and airport just across the river.
Bad reviews

An awful school that does absolutely nothing to accommodate its fourth year students with the REQUIRED courses they need to graduate. I've gone to academic registrar, professors, and even the dean and nobody could come up with a final solution.

Not good at all

If you are an international student and ready to spend 50,000 CAD on your master's program, then choose a better university

This is the worst university in all of ontario. They do not care about their students at all. The bookstore isn't even open at the university to give students their textbooks during the first week of classes. Just an absolute joke.

Avoid this place if you are a grad-student. This University only cares about getting your money and graduating you and nothing more. It's all a facade meant to keep the prof's and admin paid and fat. It's a race to the bottom by administrators here such as to make sure the money machine and their paychecks keep coming. You'll regret coming here.

The University of Windsor is overall awful. I've come into many issues and the school does nothing to help. I do not understand how so may required courses are full...I always seem to have time conflicts solely with my major courses making nearly impossible to satisfy my requirements...and don't even get me started on the professors.
Overall 1.1
What a joke of a school. All I learned here was that no effort will ever be enough. Rude professors, who would call students stupid for asking questions (excuse me, I don't know everything in the world. If I knew it - i would not pay $9000 a semester. I thought that is a part of a professor's job).A thell of an expensive way to ruin your confidence
Overall 1.1
Horrible school in my opinion. Most professors are completely unhelpful and there isn't anyone to talk to for help in choosing classes. No ability to contact anyone during the pandemic and I've been emailing for over 16 months with no reply. Definately take your money elsewhere, you'd be better off teaching yourself.
Overall 1.1
Awful school from Faculty down to Admin. 0 support given to students. They have no one working phones during a pandemic to help 20,000 students just leaving everyone out to dry. Professors are ignorant. Located in a sketchy area. Get used to eating subway or knock-off diner food. Clubs such as frats creep on young women. 0 TA/GA/RA opportunities.
