University of Manitoba — Attraction in Winnipeg

It is the largest university both by total student enrollment and campus area in the province of Manitoba, and the 17th-largest in all of Canada. The campus boasts dozens of faculties including the first medical school in Western Canada, and hundreds of degree programs. In addition to its main campuses, the university also operates a French-language affiliate, Université de Saint-Boniface in the Saint Boniface ward of Winnipeg. UM is a member of the U15 and of Universities Canada while its global affiliations include the International Association of Universities and the Association of Commonwealth Universities. Its increased global outreach has resulted in one of the most internationally diverse student bodies in Canada, while its competitive academic and research programs have consistently ranked among the top in the Canadian Prairies.

The Manitoba Bisons represent the team in athletics as a member of U Sports and Canada West (CWUAA).

As of 2018, there have been 98 Rhodes Scholars from the University of Manitoba, more than from any other university in Western Canada.7

The university's alumni include recipients of the Nobel Prize, the Academy Award, the Order of Merit, and Olympic medalists, among many others. The university has produced countless government figures, including Premiers of Manitoba, Supreme Court of Canada justices, and Members of Parliament. Research at UM has produced countless contributions, including the creation of Canola...

The facilities themselves are pretty hit or miss outside of the well-funded ones (EITC, ALC, etc). Public transit is great if you like the idea of freezing in the cold since bus shelter is scarce. The food tends to be overpriced and anemic. Covid killed many clubs and even some very large and active ones (Anime club) can't get their own room.

If that wasn't bad enough, several programs are horribly underfunded, understaffed, and competitive. For my program (comp sci) the profs are mostly bad with a few superstars. But the worst is that co-op is competitive, difficult to get into, and offers absolutely NO webdev courses! That was unacceptable 10 years ago and is even more so today! Despite having just graduated, I'm forced to teach myself missing skills since I can't get a job.

If you can afford a higher cost of living, go to a more reputable university that will give you a higher quality of education. In my opinion, the savings just aren't worth the spotty education quality here. At the end of the day, my U of M degree really is just a...

The most horrible and toxic universities I’ve ever been. Please review other universities in Canada before you sign up for this one. As a student that studied in other universities in Canada this is the worst experience I’ve ever had. 01) professors are horrible they are not up-to the standards. Avoid coming to Agriculture/ food science/ bio systems eng. 02) university itself robs you and steals your money. They don’t have a good and consistent policy with students fee. They come up with policies however they want. Financial aids and student fee coordinator are the worst to deal with. 03) Parking is another worst experience. Over priced not enough parking permits issued but so many free spaces in the lots. You can get daily parking in downtown for way less price compared to at the university. This university is lost. Not even worth enough one star. Please look for other universities experience here is not worth...
