Chiragveer teja sir is very humble and good person if any international student is facing problem then they must contact this person.Moreover,he is very good in dealing.

Luba Firsova

rude staff poor service

Bill Herger

Booster dose done. Took an hour in line. Why.

Ga T

Over here teachers have a very old teaching style, many don't even use ppt lecture notes, which makes more difficult understanding the lecture material.

Paviter Singh

Nice one University in Surrey

TOO MUCH EDUCATION AND EXPENSIVE TUITONSISTSICKS\

Nandini Sachdeva

I applied for this university 1.5 month sho and they haven’t yet respond to it even my band score is quiet good but there services are quite late. So consider this before applying

Tejvir Singh

Till I don't get any chance to get admitted in this uni. By the way,it's my dream to study here or study with this uni's wonderful staff .Now, my hope of study there become abolished due to my low profile, which is not matching with required profile for an student in this university. Any one can help me in registering my profile in this tremendous university. Thanks. Much love!

Plan to Shine

Kwantlen university is unethical, money driven organisation. I made the simplest mistake of adding a class thinking it is for the winter semester, dropped the very next day when I realised it is a class that has already started a month prior. Guess what, they are charging me full tuition, sent them emails that explains the situation, but they are tone deaf, they only care about money. I even explained to them that their decision to charge me $700+ will ruin my chances of going back to uni for the winter semester and that I am saving up every penny working as a housekeeper to be able to improve my life, this is their answer “Unfortunately, we cannot refund tuition fees to you, as course withdrawal does not refund tuition fees, according to our published Dates and Deadlines.” I am so disappointed at kwantlen, I will never have registered with them if I knew they only cared about money especially in this confusing time of the pandemic. I don’t recommend it to anybody

Armand Rashid

Smaller classes sizes and a variety of courses makes Kwantlen an excellent option. I gave it three stars for a couple of reasons. It is mainly a commuter school. Even at the "Main" campus it doesn't feel much like a university. The school is growing and changing but it just doesn't have that culture of a larger university. Having the variety of campuses is nice but can also be a pain when a course is only offer at one campus. The second issue I found at Kwantlen is there are a lot of kids that don't want to be there. They are attending because it was easy to get into and their parents want them to attend university.

Feel like a temple for acquiring the quality education????

Went for Covid test and it was fairly smooth, fast & efficient.

Jeff Elder

i really like this university Once you got in, everything is almost perfect except sometime the cafe chef are mean

Kirandeep Kaur Gill

Nice campus just near yo my home ????. Disciplined Study environment. Variety courses. Parking is expensive though.

Marcus Nardizzi (Dizzi)

Great place to make friends.

SidTheKid

Used to be a decent institute up until they decided to flood the entire campus with international students. Majority of these 'students' don't study at all and use the campus as their 'chill out' spot. I mean even the school itself knew it was a problem when they stopped accepting international students entirely for a semester or two. Not only do these so called students ruin the atmosphere on campus, they also have a negative impact on domestic students in terms of group projects and assignments etc. Cause many of them can barely understand or speak English and have no interest in wanting to learn it. It got to a point where I just had to transfer out and its unfortunate cause it was a great campus up until now.

Bilal Shirwani

Definitely most underrated library in all of Surrey. It's beautiful

Great school, very hard to find parking. Faculty is very helpful.

Jonathan Robinson

While there are pros and cons to Kwantlen, location is certainly the biggest pro here. Classes vary from being insightful and rewarding to being useless and dull, and I would highly recommend checking professors' reviews on Rate My Professors prior to taking their courses, especially lab instructors, as the lowly rated ones tend to be confusing and completely unreasonable and unpredictable with unusual and often nonsensical grading criteria and zero patience. I once asked Len how I can improve my future lab scores in his first-year Physics course, and he told me I must be choosing to do things wrong if I'm getting low grades, saying I need to work on my attitude when really he's got a cryptic and secretive grading criteria which he only reveals after the third lab in the semester. There's also an old chemistry lab assistant who is miserable and wanders between both rooms all day yelling at students and avoiding helping anyone in favor of berating those less miserable than herself. Biology labs tend to be more welcoming and the instructors more outgoing, but the workload tends to be excessive, requiring lots of work outside of scheduled lab periods to experiment. Most labs here are a nightmare. I've however had very good experiences with online courses in general, and the arts instructors have been very knowledgeable, polite, and constructive. The library has a superb staff and a great selection of resources and free tutors, and there's also therapists available as well. I wouldn't recommend buying food or supplies here as the markup is insane.

Pawandeep Kaur

Awesome cafeteria and book store. Library staff is very helpful and very appreciative. I really appreciates their marvelous services.

ALL I CAN SAY IS LITTLE INDIA

Lucas Cawkell

Depends. If you are looking to take an information technology course then look elsewhere. The instructors rely on book PowerPoint slides.

vicky sekhon

So beautiful world

Aiman

I am studying there since jan 2020 when it all went online. However , the academic expectations are high here you need to have minimum of 2 gpa in most of the diploma courses too both institutional and course.

James Bonkowski

I Don’t Highly Recommend The Access Program With Disability’s I use to got that program & before COVID hit the teachers who work there don’t tell their students what’s going on bye Email & Phone Call & they totally ran away who everyone in my class money in the beginning I was at a Work Experience At Cora they treated very poorly as a DishWasher & I had a Fight With Wearing No Slip Shoes & the people who work there I was there for 4 weeks in March & I was followed bye the people who work there & that’s it had enough & sew my class was cancelled in April

Vik Brar

Great instructors, practical programs and a pragmatic approach to meeting students' educational and career development requirements

Close to newton exchange. It would be better if the walk ways connecting the buildings together would cover the rain more efficiently.

Erick E

Terrible experience with the registrar. No personable contact, they treat you as a mere student number. They stole my money directly from student loan services. Don't waste your time here. Schools like JIBC, Douglas College and SFU are far better in every way and treat you with respect.

Mashael Alghamdi

take ur money and run! if you are international student of course they will take advantage of you. make you hate school. all people who wrote a positive comments are not international so they don't really know

David Hunt

Best business school in western Canada. The business programs offer practical knowledge that you can use in the real world right away. Many of the 3rd & 4th year courses use the same textbooks as MBA courses at other universities, and nearly every class requires you to work with real businesses to solve real-world problems. Excellent profs, small hands-on classes, and great opportunities for those looking to jump start their career.

Great university. Lots of services for students.

Should have more food accommodations open till later. Not enough outlets at all tables. Seating area by Tim Hortons always dirty. We pay money to go here. And you also charge us to print?! What the hell are we paying for?!

Ava T

Great campus; tons of ressources, parking, options and opportunities. Library study rooms were helpful and often not occupied.

kingxl10

There is so much offered at KPU, not just great classes but all the different clubs and free facilities and events. A lot of the teachers are awesome and the classes are small so you get to know everyone pretty well.

rasmu bhandari

Great university in Surrey area, Staffs and students are really friendly.

Alex McGowan

Great course selection, generally great profs. small class sizes for good access to profs to enhance learning environment and great networking opportunities. Also, Kwantlen offers the only undergraduate Policy Studies program in Canada! Planning on pursuing a policy studies Masters at SFU? Kwantlen is the place to start!

Tara Gill

Registration puts students on a wild goose chase. Eg. Instructed to speak with Program Coordinator. Program Coordinator instructs student to contact registration. Academic advisors give poor advice leading to complications. Students are waitlisted despite it being a required course for their program. Therefore, they need to try to take the required courses at another academic institution. However, they need to seek permission even after ensuring it's transferable. Basically, students are left stranded to fend for themselves. It's honestly ridiculous, students are treated like garbage. I strongly suggest students to invest in their future someplace else if they care about their academic future and peace of mind.

Studying here was good. But getting stuff from student enrolment services was very frustrating. The staff working is rude and has no sense to speak. I literally hate to come here now.

Vivek

All of the students in the university are doing their exam and assignment with online helpers. University is also not taking any actions against them . Have complained more than 10 times but the university is not taking actions . They are encouraging the students to pay others to do their exams and assignments (online exams ) in order to show high CGPA . It's worst for the future of students . Having all details about the students who paid others and also teachers who are all supporting

Worst admission's office, they are just focusing on international students for more fees. They are not giving any positive response to anyone to domestic students. Their admission helpers are worst.

sarao saab

Its a very good university my girlfriends studies there next yesr even i will

Lana Draper

For individuals that may have any type of learning disability, this is not the school to go to. Official documentation provided with little to no supports or provisions provided leading to unsuccessful completion of program. No apparent interest or empathy given by Instructor or Dean.

The Best University I have been till now.

This school is fantastic in a few ways. If you want to learn something super practical or hands on, it's wonderful. Class sizes are generally pretty small, which gives you more time to actually get to know your classmates and teacher. This school is also very flexible in the programs that it offers. For the most part, teachers are very passionate and have a lot of valuable experience. Course planning can be challenging, as the system often overlooks sections and had schedule time conflicts. The school could also greatly improve it's cafeterias and student club dynamics. It's a boring school, but it's a school that will teach you everything that you need to be successful in your future career.

(Translated) Well, how beautiful the University is. (Original) Maşallah ne kadar güzel Üniversite.Allah bize de orda okumayı nasip etsin.

Brianna Doyle

The admissions process is very easy. However, I would never recommend this University to anyone that actually wants to pursue a degree or graduate in a timely manner. The only thing good about this university is the Sport and Rec. Other than that, it is terrible. This is my second year, I’ve been waitlisted for the Human Anatomy 1200 course 4 semesters in a row. No grades do not matter. All of the classes are continuously waitlisted making it an extra two years to get into a Nursing Bachelor program. I was told to take the Health Unit Coordinator course to reserve my seat in the courses as it states on the website, and I have not had ONE class reserved at all. It is ridiculous. I would recommend anyone to go to BCIT, Douglas or VCC before looking at this University. It takes so much time and all of the student support service people seem unbothered and they all have an attitude. Out of the Certificate and 20 additional credits I’ve taken, the only one worth while is Constanza’s LANC class. Unless you struggle academically, do not waste your time.

i came here from university of Winnipeg one of my worst decisions of life. its nowhere near to it. kwantlen polytechnic ripping of students for money. well completing diploma and going back to university of Winnipeg soon. No practical knowledge if you are looking to apply think about your decision again. Update- you will never get courses that you need

Academic Tutor

Definitely disliked the experience at the campus, avoid this school and find a better alternative. A polytechnic university who wants to be a research university, do the math!

O L

School of scams, they charge you money for tuition that you withdrew from on the proper date. Parking robo cops give you $200 tickets for being 10 minutes over during test season. All about the money no thought for students.

Carol S

Covid vaccine and testing site now. Well prepared staff and very helpful. Testing lines were long but vaccine appointment went smoothly.

TJ Paisley

They where supper helpful with helping me find and grab my course books in under 15min! Thanks you guys :)

Kyle Kew

Poorly run, unprofessional.

Gavan

Do NOT apply here for a science major unless you want to fail miserably. This school is setup for failure with horrible profs.

Tinker Jin

Can have drive through covid test at here

Eddie Brock

good instructors! smaller class sizes so a bit more personal attention

Teachers are passionate about their faculties, and its a college/university so cheaper + same education in the long run

Brenna Finch

I studied here for a year and a half, over a decade ago, and I loved it! I was just in the wrong program(the Job Prep program within the APPD(Access Program for People with Disabilities)! That program sucks! The main cafeteria is OK; and the bookstore is amazing! Love all the KPU apparel! Overall, the Professors, and the students, are really nice and understanding! Great services for students(including those put on by the student association(KSA)! I'm planning to attend this place, again in the near future! I love this school! So proud to be an Eagle!

harjinder kaur

Terrible experience so far. I am SFU alumni and may be wrong to compare KPU to SFU! Nowhere close to it. They are not available on phone or in person, online they have KPQueue which sucks too. I am amazed as this is not the busy time of the semester and still no one is available to talk. Imagine when it is in its busy period say beginning of fall semester. No registration dates announcement or course information available to assist students to plan their semester. I would recommend this place to anyone, don't want to call it a university/institute as it has no feature/service to get this title.

Brendan Kelly

I am currently attempting to register for a continuing education course. I have paid in full, and have received my online profile. For the last week leading up to the beginning of my course, I have been attempting to contact student service for assistance. As my online profile was instructing me to do so. I have no holds which prevent me from registering except the inability for the course to render on my profile. It is now two days into my course and I have received no call back as an automated system informed me would happen. As I write this I have been on hold for a total of 45 minutes waiting for an answer. As an Ontario resident, I have an opportunity presenting itself in the form of full time employment in my career of choice dependent on completion of this course. I feel stranded as no one has reached out to help me. Please save your time and money and look elsewhere for a secondary education.

If you do your work, put in even a nominal degree of effort, you'll do well here. You have to be a pretty lousy student to have a bad experience at KPU.

Abhishek Ghosh

I had gone there for a covid test...I guess they r running it like machine.... hygiene and all the protocols are being maintained...so if u have any symptoms plz get the ur test done here.also they r giving vaccine ????...

KPU student council general manager, Jeremy McIlroy, is possibly the most helpful person ever. Kudos!

Constantly getting screwed over by enrollment staff who don't know how to do their jobs.

"" Strongly recommended to the students before Applying . ""Firstly ,we pay them 150$ for Application fees which is genuine then they ask for 2000$ for Confirmation then if you have to Daffer they'll ask for another 200$ for procedure Looks like I have got into the Wrong University But as per you know What can we do about the University after we had paid enough money ???? to the university .

Valueless place

Hirdesh Bajwa

The help they give to disabled students is a joke. Some technicians were operating heavy machinery when i was taking a test in the same building, they gave me half the time of what i was supposed to get, but what really takes away the cake is, today they gave me the wrong physics test. All of this, happened over the course of ten months. A few of the instructors also have quite an attitude. This place is okay to use as a runway before you takeoff to your career, but not the place for you primary education.

Q L

Studied here for credit transfer. Really nice campus and many options for courses. Courses are quite easy to pass and study environment is positive. Would consider coming back if ever want to take more courses.
