Reviews of University of Alberta (University)

Ron Kobes

Parking bag is always a chore, but otherwise ok. Quick COVID screening and you are in.

Navigated the campus via wheelchair for Pokemon Community day and was very thankful to have help being pushed because there were a plethora of uneven surfaces, poorly marked paths for universal access and other barriers to enjoyment of the space as a person with mobility issues ( i.e. sidewalks that started with a friendly curb on one side of the designated pedestrian crossing, but at the other was a fifteen centimeter curb blocking the ease of passage; Cracks in pavement perilously affect the safety of wheelchair users, and this campus is rife with them) The campus buildings were shuttered for summer, so am unable to comment on the accessibility of those spaces. Note: for the able-bodied, this rating is 4 stars

In my opinion the U of A has some of the nicest buildings in Edmonton. I am a photographer and love bringing my clients to the grounds for either wedding or engagement pictures. If you are not here for photos it is just a nice relaxing place to walk around, especially in fall.

Sandeep Garg

Great learning place, esp as u don't need to travel to Edmonton

Stuart pretzlaw

Recently did a course at the faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, an amazing worl class facility.

COVID has got the inpatient psyche unit locked down but things are slowly opening up. All in all it's a great go to hospital. Beautiful view!

Rostyslav Danyleiko

Although I'm from Europe and study there and just been in this place as a visitor, it sure did get a great impression! All modern, well organized and greatly equipped. Although I didn't get a chance to familiarize myself with studying process here, definitely recommend considering studying here

Michel Cote

Great, I went to the emergency, I bit of a lengthy wait. But staff was handling all the visitors in an efficient manner. Excellent treatment.

I had a wonderful experience at the U of A ER yesterday afternoon and evening! Was brought in via ambulance. The Ambulance Attendants, Doctor, Nurses and X-Ray Tech were friendly, caring, light hearted and very supportive through it all! Deep admiration, especially during this trying time of Covid! Thank You from the bottom of my Heart for All you do! ????????

Am quite enjoying their online Faculty of Extension courses about Information Access and Privacy Protection. Robust online tools, good materials, good professor.

Michel Buitendyk

Especially during this time of pressure I have found the staff to be excellent, patient and reassuring.

Very mind reflective, environment of creativity, associated with trees, tradition, beautiful art & architecture with creativity, welcoming, beside river valley of Saskatchewan river, the university is on continuos research, being one of the top five universities in Canada, having world ranking less than 100. I visited several times within 2013 and 2018, since my son's were students of the university.

Laura Mushumanski

The UofA grounds are beautiful in the summer! As for the school itself, I am bias. There is a variety of programs to choose from, research opportunities, community engagement initiatives, and a plethora of support- when a person knows what their needs are. There are a lot more positive things associated with such a large institution that makes this learning environment a community. I imagine that it is hard to accommodate all walks of life that are affiliated with the UofA, and overall this learning environment is always growing and engaging with their students needs, in hopes that they are supported during their academic career at the UofA.

I don't know weather the university is good, but the university is really really beautiful, same like u of s

Michael Pavlov

Unacceptable decision about Suzuki. Betrayal of Alberta and its hard-working population.

Shayna Busche

We had to come here while my dad is in the Neuro ICU. The staff have been so lovely and compassionate and it's made the whole process a lot easier. We are so grateful!

Jana muise

Everyone was really nice with me. I was super nervous for my surgery but everyone made me feel better! I felt very supported by everyone! I would definitely recoment University of alberta hospital. Got a little lost but i figured it out ;)

Bell Nuntika

The north campus at UofA. UofAlberta is the best experience of my life.

Kathy Gadacz-Gould

I worked for the UofA and it was an excellent organization to work for. Prior to that, I was a student and now my son is a student! I would recommend this institution to anyone looking to improve.

Inge Hendricks

I went to get a PET and stress test. The staff were all very kind and helpful explaining the procedures. I was really surprised at how efficient and on time it all went. The scan and then the stress test. I expected to have to get on a treadmill, but no, it was done with an IV Injection of a medication that increased the blood flow to the heart, with possible side effects, shortness of breath, chest pain and headache. I had all 3. Then an IV antidote which relieved all side effects almost instantly. Wow.impressive.

K M Boyd

The 5th floor staff are very good people who actually care for their patients physically and mentally. They do a amazing job and I felt relaxed leaving for the night knowing he was well looked after. I would have given 5 stars but our experience in the emergency department was far from professional at times

Bruce Rout

I treasure my time here back in the 70s.

KaGoneIckLa - Bill Jr. Barrett

The Surgeons, Physicians, Nurses & Staff are Excellent, on busier days prepare for an little wait; One will receive top not service normally, & It's been long rumored that here; the best surgeons reside. ????

Mahdi Miganeh

School is great. I worked with the maintenance crew for a couple of months before lay off (government elections froze department cost centres). Great group of guys that maintain this campus. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Amber Murray

All of the staff were incredibly caring and helpful during my recent hospitalization. I am so very grateful to be home with my family thanks to the amazing care of everyone

Liesal Webb

Very friendly and helpful doctors and nurses!

Terry Lucas

University Hospital being in here for more than 2 months it's very hard on a person. I'm learning how to. Walk again it's very difficult. I hope to be out of here in a month and a half at most

Andrew Szeto

I've received an interview at the UofA and was subsequently requested for 3 references, which I've provided. After no offer being made, I have found out from my references that all 3 of them have been contacted and was requested to fill out an extensive and lengthy list of questions. Despite the fact that all my contacts have provided positive feedbacks and no offer being made, it's become apparent of how entitled these people are to think that it is acceptable to waste everybody's time on lengthy reference checks, when they have yet to make a decision on the candidate. In the 15 years of my professional career, I have yet to come across any other employer who conducts reference checks, when a decision have yet to be finalized. And for them to contact all my references, including my current employer, when a decision has not been made yet is extremely unprofessional. Like many other job seekers out there, we do not need our current employers to know that we are searching for other opportunities, but obviously, this is not a consideration for them.

Theo De Leon

The nurses and everyone else at Canada Blood services were terrific. Very helpful and made the donation process a very easy experience. They also have tons of snacks, drinks and delectable cookies

Myra Arevalo

Great pre-screening to see patients at the hospital. Keeps us all safe! ????

Hope UofA will be sensible and change most of their courses to online format soon. The Covid situation in Alberta is spiraling out of control. Other than that it's a fantastic institution.

frank laurie

Clean yet a bit confusing because of the covid protocol. Yet the staff was nice and parking was easy to figure out. All in all a pretty good experience.

Rob Cross

The quality of education here is getting inferior. Why? They're diverting away from textbooks, expect students to learn from places like YouTube instead. Textbooks include exercises for students to learn with. YouTube doesn't. Now they expect students to learn topics like math without having exercises to practice with. Profs got told they have to stop using textbooks because too many students couldn't afford them. But profs weren't given enough time to compose reasonable replacements. So students end up dealing with course materials like: "The notes might be restructured and certainly will be improved this term". Without textbooks, students aren't LEARNING the materials well enough. So they artificially increase students' grades. Like adjust midterm weights to put more weight on whichever midterm students score better at. Or have 3 exams and only count the 2 higher grade ones. Making it so grades don't truly reflect how well students know the materials. Might be okay for students who are enrolled to get nice letters on a sheet UofA prints for them. But not for students who are enrolled to LEARN relevant materials. In my experience, diverting away from textbooks is making the quality of their education unacceptable. Enrolled in 2nd degree, it's the most inferior I've ever experienced.

Amanda Hope

Top place in the world for medical researches

Dorre Love

Shannon Turvey is a tool. Avoid her and go to anyone else. She does the absolute bare minimum of her job and has no personality at all. Definitely the worst doctor in the city. Just terrible at her job.
