Town itself is small and boring. There is absolutely nothing to do there. Nothing happens. Locals are bored and j...

I took an English programme 3 years ago, and I can say this university is an amazing place to learn! I was really involved into the language because I knew new friend from other countries and I had a roommate from Japan and we stayed with a Canadian family! It was an amazing time and that's why I sh...

Do not get your Business degree from here. There is a reason it is cheap to go here over other BC Universities. They have hired a lot of faculty who have a lot of qualifications after their name but it seems have forgotten to check if that person can actually teach and engage students. I've witnesse...

Absolutely beware!!! First off I had multiple professors preaching how much better communism, socialism and collectivism is than western values. One of the points the prof made was " They care more about family and people they don't know", yes they were all from mainland China.

A very bad institution which is aimed to loot your pockets! Especially the international students. They didn't approve to give back my $2000 CAD which was the balance in my account at the time of taking the transfer to a new college. A big 'No' for international students! The office staff is very ru...

I am currently in the Journalism program at this university. Aside from a lack of Digtal Arts classes, going here has been a great experience. All of my classes from a previous college transfered over. The Journalism faculty is amazing and always super helpful. Other admin and staff are okay. Lots o...

Did an online course with them. The course materials were basically "Read chapter 1-5", do assignment 1. "Read chapters 6,7,8" do assignment 2. Near impossible to get meaningful feedback through the online portal as your 'instructor' has hundreds of other students. If it's a subject you actually ...

I don't know why this uni doesn't give my advance tuition fees back after rejection of visa. I have been requesting to send this back for more than 5 months after visa rejection. Whenever I email them, they just make lame excuses and don't tell when it will be sent. I have serious doubt on their int...

Amanda that answers phones in the admissions and enrollment office is unfortunately very patronizing and rude. She talks down to you when you call and is snappy and abrupt.
I have had her on the phone a couple of times. It's very unfortunate to have such unhelpful service.

Wonderful study experience at TRU. Especially in 3rd and 4th year of my BBA-Accounting degree. Professors were very patient and nice to explain every details if you ask, even if it was after class hours and weekends. I would recommend others to learn Accounting here. Although tuition fees have some ...

The small class sizes really allow for an intimate learning experience where students aren't just a number. I have no knowledge of the tuition issues, but I confidently say that as the schoo...

Great University with a large variety of course and program options. Lower tuition fees and smaller, more personal class sizes that you can't find in the big universities, and all set in the picturesque city of Kamloops. Close enough to the big city yet far enough away too :)

Thompson Rivers University is a fantastic option to explore, the staff are great. The campus is beautiful. And has grown greatly and seems to only continue to do so. Well worth going to and giving it your best, because they will do the same in return.

I've been attending online over the last few years. This is one of several institutions that I've taken online classes. Overall, I would say it's better than most. Booking final exams is a pain with strict dates and deadlines and extremely limited (and expensive) invigilator options in my area. Over...
