Undergraduate Students

Attending the University of Guelph (U of G) has been an incredibly rewarding experience, in part due to my involvement with SOCIS (Society of Computing and Information Science) and Gryphacks. Through their wonderful programming, I have been able to find my niche among like-minded peers and develop my computing skills and grow leaps and bounds as a result. Additionally, my co-op placements have been incredibly beneficial. For example, I worked at KPMG where I functioned as a Technology Risk Consultant and helped organizations identify and manage risks within their systems.

Throughout the university search process, I felt most welcomed by the University of Guelph. In any kind of encounter, whether it was at open houses, tours, pamphlets or presentations, I always liked how U of G reps were really enthusiastic and I loved the sense of hospitality that they provided. They made me feel at home so I knew the transition between high school and first year would be easy. My favourite thing about the University of Guelph is the sense of community. In a traditional school year, there are lots of events and gatherings that bring the students together to celebrate events and socialize. Attending sporting events, getting lunch, studying and doing just about anything with university friends makes the experience most special.

Hello, I’m Bawneet and I am originally from India. What drew me to Guelph was the entrance scholarship I received as well as the extracurricular opportunities available here which I am now very involved in. I'm a social media ambassador, residence assistant, and the Vice President of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Guelph branch. I have an upcoming co-op placement as an IT technician which will allow me to apply my skills in Computer Engineering. My experience at the U of G has been extremely positive, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering studying abroad. My favourite thing about my program is the hands-on experience I get. We've made robots and learned how to navigate satellites in our 1st year!

My name is Rashi, and I’m from Indore, India. I came to Guelph to pursue a degree in Software Engineering and later added Statistics as a minor after thoroughly enjoying the introductory statistics class. I am in my third year of studies and have been fortunate to gain employment at companies such as Amazon and Nokia through my co-op program. I’ve also had the chance to conduct research at the University of Guelph and teach part time as a Teaching Assistant. As the Co-president of the Guelph Women in Computer Science, I’m passionate about giving back to this amazing community that has supported me. Guelph has been the perfect choice for me as an international student and I’m confident you will have a similarly enriching experience!

Hello, my name is Noah and I’m from Waterloo, Ontario. I am in my third year of Mathematical Science at Guelph. During my time in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, I have made some indispensable bonds with everyone from other students to Teaching Assistants, to Professors. I am extremely grateful for these relationships as they made me feel welcome in the department and they helped to grow my passion for the subject. I have made some amazing friends along the way from clubs such as the Water polo club, to intramural teams, to just meeting people with similar interests in my classes. Guelph has truly become my home and a place where I can strive not only succeed but to surpass what I ever thought I was capable of. See you around!

Hello, I’m Jill from Alberta and I came to study Chemistry at Guelph. Not long ago I stood in your shoes, so let me share some things that you have to look forward to - from one Gryphon to another! As a co-op student, I landed great work terms at local labs in Guelph and even companies across Canada. On-campus, upper-year research projects are also available where you can continue to develop your knowledge and skills. I encourage you to get involved in the Gryphon community, whether it’s by joining a club, playing an intramural sport, or indulging in an exhibition meal at Creelman Dining Hall (the pizza is a personal favorite of mine!) I hope you have a wonderful time here at the University of Guelph and that you make the most of all it has to offer.
