The University of Winnipeg — Local services in Winnipeg

It was quite helpful that the site was right on the street corner. It was easy to find. I was right in the centre feeling the University vibe. Both the exterior and interior, the building was clean and well maintained. The lobby area was inviting and it gave an extra layer of comfort that security was friendly, alert and available at all times.

The highlight of my stay was my interaction with site staff. Staff Lavkiran was engaging right from the start. With her confidence, I knew right away that she is knowledgeable in her field of work. The site walkthrough was thorough. She allowed for ample time for question and answer. After settling in, I reached out again for a few follow-up questions. Each concern was properly addressed. Attentive, task-oriented and excellent in customer service are the three top words that come to mind if asked to describe her. As expected, she was able to deliver a high level of customer service. In the entirety of my stay, I knew I could lean on her for support to make my stay worry-free and worthwhile. Thank you for taking care of me in Winnipeg. The wonderful experience surely sparked interest in returning to Manitoba. Thank...

I attended the University of Winnipeg for one year in 2025 as an undergrad political science major. The main issue I have with this school is the difficulty to get any clear communication about the processes of registration, class changes, transcripts, scholarship, etc. It is downright impossible to get consistent answers from anybody and if you do email somebody prepare to wait a week for a response. Other than that, the classes were small and well taught. Some questionable professors but overall the teaching was good. I have major issues with the campus living and food, please be well informed on those institutions because they are also incredibly inefficient and downright scams. Also be aware that this university is going broke. They rely on the tuition money of international students whose enrollment is going down. So prepare for things to get worse. The university is also pretty socially dead with little to no active student clubs. Over all I would have never attended...

If you're homeless, this is a great place to stay out of sight. Computer access, places to sleep, can charge phones here as well, microwave access, and to use spare lockers to lock up your belongings overnight when you're forced to spend 8 hours awake, out on the streets of Winnipeg... if you're homeless and NOT running around on drugs, the U of W is PERFECT for your continued survival. Known friends that have gotten back on their feet, thanks to the U of W environment. So thats the ONLY reason why I'm NOT giving it 0-1 stars.

Other than that? The U of W... the professors are good, but the school itself, theres so much wrong with it. Especially hardcore communist UWSA, the $20 buffeteria food, lead pipe water fountains, security guards are basically hippies, all being surrounded by the worst parts of Winnipeg too... its not pretty. You'd be better off going to Red River College, moving to another province,...
