The schooling here is exceptional, but needs to rethink parking.
The schooling here is exceptional, but needs to rethink parking.
This whole school is a scam. It looks like a really nice school and it's got all you could ask for in a school (a large recreation area, a huge library, a full cafeteria) but it's actually a scam to make people pay thousands of dollars for nothing. I didn't realize how much I didn't get from this school until I was forced to attend a different one.
When I first applied I wasn't accepted into my program. The students counselors told me if I did open studies and took all the classes I could that were part of my program and scored well they would let me in next year. I wasted thousands of dollars and two semesters of my life working extremely hard and made it on the deans list both semesters, only for them to deny me entrance into my program the next year. It was a complete waste of money and I was miserable the entire two semesters. Everyone in the school is stuck up and didn't even want to talk to me or help me. (I slipped and fell outside one icy morning and no one stopped to help.)
The librarians are ussless too and didn't know where to find anything or help me with printers or scanners.
Parking was an absolute joke. After taking all my money the only place I could afford to park was far away in the A and B lots over by the feilds.
This place is a joke and almost zero of my classes transfer to my new school.
I recommend going other places. They might not have the same amenities but they might care about your actually education more.
I m not even grade 11 and I m getting minute long unskippable ads
no contact over multiple weeks - was accused of under paying (Shelly Davis) though I and the teller both counted the money - no apology was provided or info where my missing money went - spoke with Shelley Davis - who says my refund would take 2-3 weeks though it dose not say that on the website

when I spoke to Shelly about this she hung up the phone on me if i could rate it lower then 1 I would
Great campus. Lots of programs for people of all ages. Public speaking courses are great for children. You can also enroll yourself in music classes. There are also youth orchestras that practice and perform here. There are quiet study spaces that the public can utilize.
Faculty is well experience and educated and class size and time table is also good.
Good facilities and good staff but quite expensive for the courses I was interested in.
Best place to find inexpensive gift-ware. If you're a struggling student and need to send a gift home, or gift something to a new friend, you will always find something very nice at a very good price.
Drews in recruitment is very polite and super helpful in answering questions. Thank you Melinda for all of your patience answering all of my questions :)
Best place It's a great university from what I have been able to read from their webpage. I have not visited but I have a keen interest to do so.
I have absolutely loved this university and recommend it to anyone. Most specifically the public relations or any communications program. The classes are small and engaging with professors who really care. The programs are very hands-on and prepare students for the real world, many with internships or practicums to give students real experience and work on their resumes, setting them aside from students from other institutions. Employers from all fields are eager to hire MRU graduates because of their readiness for the workforce.
They recently moved the bookstore to the old library, so the layout is a little weird (not that they can help it). The selection is pretty nice, and the prices are decent. There's usually a sale at least once a week (e.g., $10 shirts, knick-knacks, etc).
They don't carry disposable bags for purchases -- bring your own or buy a reusable tote.
I applied to this place after exploring the programs and campus life! and I am really hoping to get accepted here because mount royal seems like an amazing university to study, all of their programs have positive reviews and the staff is more than helpful!
rest in piece kirby morrow :( u were such an amazing voice actor...
I had a terrific experience here as a student. My comment is not directed at professors or faculty.
Alumni relations, career services, and the administration department in general here is not good. I graduated in 2016 and it has been a nightmare to get ahold of anyone here during business hours Monday to Friday.
Things don t get done here unless you hold people accountable with a paper trail or take the time off from your day job to go there in person and demand action/answers. They will ignore your calls and emails outright. Expect a battle every time you want copies of transcripts and such. My girlfriend is still waiting for papers from the education department so she can begin the process of applying to work in her field. It seems like once they ve collected your funds they don t care to uphold their end of the bargain post graduation.
I m typically a patient, reasonable person. Over a period of two months trying to politely ask for help and assistance I took a day off work, went there in person, and refused to leave until I had my problem resolved. There s a pervasive not my problem attitude I ve picked up on from their staff.
Tuition costs continue to increase due to administration. But I fail to understand/see how those additional funds are being used for student and alumni benefit. I wouldn t do my degree over again here if I knew how poorly administration would be post graduation. When you spend $35-$40k on a degree a polite callback or reply to my email inquiries shouldn t be too much to ask for.
I enjoy going to the Bookstore. The staff is very nice and always want to help you. They cheer you up, and if you are lucky they will tell you a joke. However, I believe that they can put new items to sell. I like the clothes and the coffee cups.
Hy, i saw all about this university and.. I found it best ever university for education, and actually I'm from Pakistan and i just want to ask,, I've completed my BBA(Hons) with 3.7 cgpa.. Am i able to get admission in MBA?
Thanks
The sound system is the best compare with U of Calgary concert hall. You'll enjoy the whole performance without any feedback noise. Parking lots are outside and inside. Audience can take a bus.
I love MRU and I m so glad I went here. As someone who learns better by doing it was really great how hands on my degree was. Shout out to the entire journalism faculty for being my second family for four years! If I had to do it again I would in a heartbeat.
I wish i could come to this university but i dont have money no passport
Stayed in residence. Nice and quiet. Good facility. Thank you
In July 2015, the $90.5 million Taylor Centre for the Performing Arts (TCPA) was officially opened, accommodating the growing Mount Royal Conservatory, which is a musical conservatoire in operation since 1910 that serves up to 10,000 Calgarians annually. In addition to 43 soundproof rehearsal studios and 6 ensemble suites, the TCPA also houses the 787-seat Bella Concert Hall (opened August 26, 2015), which was designed by Pfeiffer Partners Architects in cooperation with Sahuri + Partners who used a "contemporary interpretation of the rural barn on the expansive prairie of Alberta" in their design. The Taylor Centre for the Performing Arts is named after the family name of businessman, philanthropist, and Calgarian Don Taylor who donated $21-million to the project. Additionally, the namesake of the Bella Concert Hall is Mary Belle Taylor, Don Taylor's mother, who was affectionately known as 'Bella.' In addition to its design, the Taylor Centre for the Performing Arts is notable for being a LEED Gold certified building and for being highly accessible for users with diverse physical abilities. While built with the needs of the Mount Royal Conservatory in mind, the TCPA and its various spaces are considered a community resource.
They have small class sizes for most of my courses.
International Student Graduate in Business Administration.
If you are looking for a Canadian university for business look no further. I loved the fact the classes are small compared to other universities and you get the opportunity on a one on one with the professor.
Definitely worth the fortune you spend in tuition fee. Professors really approachable and eager to help if you show an interest in their course.
I miss the time i spent at this uni, will return for an MBA some day.
Great place with small class sizes and professors that actually care about you.
Mount Royal University (MRU) is a local (Calgarian) University located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. MRU is a great university that puts their attention to putting students first. Class Sizes are small and the professors are great at responding to requests. The Library is a state of the art library with numerous activities and events that are now hosted 100% Online. All Classes and Events and Continuing Education Courses are all hosted online for now as the COVID-19 Pandemic has raged on. The continuing education certificates has a wide variety of certs ranging from Cybersecurity to Esports to the oil and gas industry. As a member of the class of 2020, I am so glad that the university hosted the event virtually and in person to accommodate for everyones personal situations in this unprecedented year of 2020. I am proud to be a Alummi of MRU. I would recommend MRU to all students as their university of choice in the Calgary Area.

Campus itself is very modern and spacious. Parking is available, but very expensive. Biggest problem of the campus is that there is no direct access by vehicle between western and eastern parts. If you are at the west side and need to go to eastern side building, you have to go back to the main road, drive around the campus, enter from the east, park and pay. A bit inconvenient. Other campus facilities are pretty good.
Beautiful part of the campus. I came here as a kid for my sister's ballet practice and got to know the campus. It has changed drastically since then and looks gorgeous compared to then. The pool area is improved, they have a great track and the gym area is huge.
I am ashamed of MRU. COVID has caused MRU to give up teaching for the most part there is little to no learning at this school since COVID. Most classes are handing out YouTube videos or voice memos you listen to. Since COVID MRU is more of a degree Mill in my opinion. Before COVID I feel that MRU was a great school. But I can no longer recommend it.
It s still kinda Mount Royal college....
Employer s don t take a degree or anything here too seriously...
Melinda Drews in recruitment is very polite and super helpful in answering questions. Thank you Melinda for all of your patience answering all of my questions :)
I worked at MRU, before it became a University. I loved working in the beautiful building, walking the serene grounds and interacting with all departments and, especially the students. The years may have flown by and my last name may have changed but, my love for this University and for Calgary will remain with me forever.
Great university! Doors are locked til u call security. Four big bottles of hand sanitizer by the entrance! Very compliant to health & safety of the public!
i do not like this school the vending machines never have change under them like at other places and also they deleted the incel club that was qthe only place i felt comfortable talking to others about my feelings i am a not proud incel and this club was like my family please bring it back and maybe i will rate your school better i have lots of influence in the community as you can see im at the moment a level 4 local guide almost level 5 please listen or else........... dale doesn like
