Student Sound Offs
"TRU became Canada's newest university in 2006, and many people across the country fail to recognize that we even exist."
"While there are a few excellent teachers, the majority of the teachers I have had are poor. They are disorganized, unclear, not helpful, and do not care about the students at all."
"This university seems very good at providing services for international students, as well as opportunities for students to earn degrees from TRU while travelling abroad."
"The recreational services here are extensive and affordable. I enjoy that our campus makes healthy living accessible for those who are interested in it."
"I particularly enjoy the aboriginal services at TRU. These services have made my transition from a small community to university life easy and enjoyable. The staff have been very helpful."
"The library is too small to house the books we have, let alone the number of books we should have."
"I really enjoy the open campus that has a very green and natural appearance, with very visually appealing buildings."
"I like the diversity of the student body. We have a large number of international students and I think it enriches my experience and also the community as a whole."
"The newest buildings on campus are constructed with open concepts, which allows views of the greenery on campus. This creates refreshing areas to study and socialize."
"They just cut down all of the pine beetle-infested trees, so the campus is really bare right now."
"The university seems to have little school spirit. Only a handful on individuals seem devoted to supporting school teams and participating in cultural events."
"The quality of education provided is poor in comparison to the alternative (UBC). I find the diversification abysmal."
