university of alberta

As an alumni, I love my University and have seen it grow into a great institution. The tour was great as we could see how it grew from when we went.

I visited the U of A for a session in the Technology Learning Center. The University has a nice set up with state of the art Macs with labs of different sizes.

Hi. If you are travelling to Edmonton specifically to attend a course and need accommodation, I recommend the Alberta Place Suites. The UofA Faculty of Extention is in this beautiful building that is centrally located, and within pedwalks of major shopping and food outlets. The Facility itself is clean and well-maintained with a security desk and guards.

I am a local and I don't think you should be going to a foreign place to visit their University. There are better things you can do.

The old "Tuck Shop" no longer exists, but there is a nice shopping mall on campus.The Rutherford museum on Saskatchewan drive is definitely worth a visit.

Of course I'd give my alma mater a good rating. I can't remember all the museums and attractions here, but if you go on the internet, there's a list of them. They've been renovating and upgrading a lot of the buildings. It's a good walk through here at any time of year. I like coming here when the students are here studying. I get extra energy out of their presence.

We visited Edmonton and stay in Lister Center for 2 nights. We just want to stay in not costly accommodation and the dorm room was very nice and the only thing is there is no ac and because it is dorm like, we have to share the bathroom with other visitors. Not too bad at all since it is not too crowded. Campus is big and lots of things to wonder around. Parking is very pricy, there are LRT stations on campus if wanted to head to downtown edmonton. There are many unique buildings to look around and one of my favorite is the HUB international. There are lots of variety of foods to choose and the students' union is also neat. Double check the hours especially in the summer. walk around the north saskatchewan river to snap some beautiful view of the surrounding.

This campus is amazing. It is large and very beautiful. Sits right on the river valley with great access to biking and running.A nice mixture of new and old architecture.

The place is beautiful, open to visitors but there are some place that are not open all the time, I've been visiting the university for several days now, today we went to the paleontology museum and the mineral museum (they are not actually museums but small displays of collections) and we had a great time, everything is on perfect conditions but the website does not provide many information about this collections, also the attention hours or parking information is not available anywhere until you get there. their site needs to be improved, however the place is awesome, many buses goes to the university and the train has two stations inside the university. some buildings are beautiful and you can go walking through all the university entering at the buildings and eating on the local malls or stores (ask for a map once inside the university) TIP: if you are getting there by car you can park on the nearby parking building cheaper and if you arrive early you can pay 6 CAD for the whole day.

We went to the campus to watch a volleyball tournament and was disappointed by the amount of money that was charged to park in the parkade, especially when it is off peak time for the campus being we visited in July. in addition the signage to find the gym was poor which resulted in us spending 15 minutes lost wandering around on campus trying to find the right gym.

The University of Alberta in Edmonton has two major campuses, the South, where regular subjects seem to be studies, and the North, which seems to be devoted largely to medical, pharmacological and medical-scientific research and training. A huge hospital is there with big medical clinics. The South has more traditional campus views, large lawns and a few traditional buildings, along with some modern ones. But the North Campus is stunning in its colorful and create ultra-modern architecture; and the sheer scale of that operation needs to be seen. A good place for camera buffs who like buildings to go and take some shots.

Well run tournament and good facilities. Very loud with 20+ courts of games and whistles. We played at Saville Centre and there was a sandwich vendor and DQ. Close to LRT transit, only 500 m walk.

The campus is fun to visit and the Golden Bears play great hockey. Visit the HUB or SUB and enjoy a lot of little out of the way places to grab a snack.

It absoute worth to spend a few hours to visit this well established university campus. Unique constructions of old and new buildings locate orderly. You can find reading atmosphere all around inside the campus. Scenery outside the campus are beautiful especially with snow. I am sure you will have a good time if you can find a graduate of this university to show you around.

The campus is well-laid out. Buildings are well-appointed. The residential selections are varied and complete with amenities. Offices are well-appointed as well.
