| Ahh, UNB. What a sad, sad institution. They sold CS to Microsoft, contracted Physics out to the military, and stopped hiring for the Arts faculty years ago. |

Did you hear the Education department is under review??? Really!
Though, the CS department is still pretty good. When choosing between them and Waterloo, I went with them (I had the choice). Waterloo is more famous, and maybe better, but much more theoretical, and I wasn't into that as much. Also, the co-op program was kickass. Some of the profs were pretty bad though, though I found that in the math and psychology depts too. I loved my history course, Dr. Milner. He was cool.
What did you study? |

I did not, though there's been lots of talk lately about low grad quality, so I'm not surprised. However, I doubt it's limited to UNB.

Who the hell thought of building the university on a hill??? Especially for me, a Computer Science student, walking to res in the winter SUCKED!!! |
I went to hockey school there when I was a kid. Think about dry land at the gym and walking up to hockey practice with no pucks. |

French Linguistics. Some economics. I even went as far as stydying calculus. Ooh.
I think UNB was, at one time, considered the party university of Canada. Maybe when they had a football team. Now, for NB, I think the party's in Sackville. But, I'm old. |
