“ UWinnipeg is truly an ideal place to come for graduate studies. The diversity of quality research topics and courses offered… are ideal for one’s desired career path. The University is well organized, and made me feel at home through athletic and social activities, as well as reliable housing services. There is no need to worry about adapting to the multicultural life in Winnipeg, as all the people around you are so considerate, they have arranged everything already.”
