University of Saskatchewan — Attraction in Saskatoon

After waiting three years to reflect on my university experience at the U of S, I must express my dissatisfaction. There exists a significant disparity between theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Preaching far left social ideology whilst practicing fiscal exploitation of both students and our very own government. I guess left leaning voters ensure the education subsidies are deposited. Do as I say not as I do.

Charles Smith, whom I consider an academic CLOWN, is undeniably a genuinely nice person. However, it’s apparent that he has spent his entire life under the umbrella of academia with minimal real-world experiences. For instance, he claimed/thought/stated that all truckers are in unions, which is not the case at all. On another occasion, when a student expressed disagreement about something related to Quebec, he responded by challenging the student to teach the class, displaying an unwillingness to tolerate dissenting opinions. This incident, among others, contributed to my decision to leave university and do something more productive.

Despite encountering some good professors who privately conveyed to me their discomfort with the university’s direction, it’s disconcerting that educators in a place of “ideas” feel the need to censor themselves and conform to the flavour of the week. I dropped out because new ideas were not welcomed, and after three years, the return on investment was minimal compared to the substantial time spent in the real world.

It’s disheartening to think about those who invest their money to learn how to memorize useless facts, only to find themselves unprepared for the real world upon graduation.

Additionally, during the Covid pandemic, the university closed down all facilities and only provided an $18 discount, which seems inadequate given the circumstances.

Accreditation is not Education.

The University of Saskatchewan continues to raise tuition each year with little to no visible improvements across campus. Many of the buildings are poorly maintained, and safety is a concern due to the growing homeless population in the surrounding area. The location is also inconvenient—there are no grocery stores or essential businesses within walking distance, which makes things harder for students without transportation.

Although the food on campus is actually quite good—despite what some reviews say—that’s one of the few positives. A lot of the classes seem to be more focused on pushing social or political agendas rather than teaching practical content that directly applies to the subject matter. This makes it harder for students to gain relevant skills or knowledge, especially in programs that should be hands-on or career-focused. Many professors are disengaged or underwhelming, and there’s a lack of accessible online options unless you’re in SUNTEP or ITEP.

Overall, the U of S feels like a mediocre experience that doesn’t match the cost. If you’re planning to stay in Saskatchewan, I would recommend looking into the University of Regina—it tends to offer better value and a more grounded...
