MacEwan University - Edmonton, Alberta

Lack of communication, ended up not enrolled in proper classes because of the lack of information for new students. They basically have students enroll themselves and make their own schedule and pay the fees and map out their entire experience. Nice school though.

This building is amazing. It’s been around for a while and at the time it was built it was a college but now is a university. The university is attended by many students, hard to imagine but hey that’s what it is here for. I personally have not attended but I work downtown and have passed through this building many times over the years and have always enjoyed the experience.

Brought my kid here. Parking was $10 for the day. People seem surprised when they get tickets.
Tons of restaurants, groceries, and other services within walking distance.

Paid parking during holiday wasn’t good. Management have to take look on this or they have to give the parking for ielts students who’s coming for test every month on Saturday and Sunday.

Went to the fitness centre. They've got a good system! Pay for drop in online, it's easy to book your slot and fairly easy to cancel if needed. 1.5 hour slots. $7.50 for drop in I believe. Everyone carries around disinfectant spray and wipes down the equipment before and after use. Not tons of equipment, but with fewer people I never had to wait for anything

I am deeply disappointed with the restrictive policies enforced by MacEwan University regarding student access to campus facilities. As paying students, we find it unacceptable to be abruptly ejected from the premises by security personnel, especially during weekdays when access to campus resources is crucial for academic success.

The arbitrary 11 pm curfew imposed on students severely limits our ability to utilize campus facilities for studying, group projects, and extracurricular activities. It's disheartening to invest significant amounts of tuition fees into an institution that fails to prioritize the well-being and academic needs of its students.

Furthermore, the manner in which security personnel enforce this curfew is intrusive. Being followed out of the building by security guards creates an unwelcoming and uncomfortable environment for students who are simply trying to make the most of their educational experience.

It's particularly frustrating to see other universities, such as the University of Calgary, implement more student-friendly policies. For instance, they have a building that stays open 24 hours during exam times, and regular hours extend until 2-4 am. This demonstrates that flexible access hours are feasible and beneficial for student success.

I urge MacEwan University to reconsider its policies regarding student access to campus facilities and prioritize the needs of its student body. Implementing more flexible access hours and fostering a supportive and inclusive campus environment would undoubtedly enhance the overall student experience and contribute to the university's reputation as an institution dedicated to academic excellence and student success.

Disappointing. Tried to register for courses at this University. Could not get any assistance or direction by phone, email, or chat. Attempted multiple times. Very strange that they had no interest in new students. Appeared like I was a chore, no one wanted to deal with. Simplest of questions were unable to be answered by anyone. Consistently brushed off. Very odd behaviour from a University. Obviously they have too many students already.
Prospective students please be cautious and DO NOT ENROLL HERE.
