Why Western University?
Why Queen’s University
- Graduation Rate: With one of the highest graduation rates in the country at 89.2%, Queen’s students experience personal and academic success both during and after their time at Queen’s. As Canada’s definitive university experience, Queen’s challenges, supports and helps students succeed.
- Internship: The Queen’s Undergraduate Internship Program (QUIP) allows students to gain experience in their second or third year of studies while earning money to offset the cost of their degree program. Internships are 12-16 months. The program is optional and open to students in all Arts (BAH) and Science (BScH), Computing and Engineering undergraduate programs.
- Diversity: Queen’s is home to students from more than 120 different countries; international students make up approximately seven percent of the full-time student population.
- The City: Described by students as both “quaint” and “eclectic,” Kingston is big enough to provide all the conveniences of modern life, and small enough for students, staff, and faculty to feel instantly comfortable and at home.
- Location: Queen’s is an integral part of the Kingston community, with the campus nestled in the core of the city, only a 10-minute walk to downtown. Within a few hours students can drive to Toronto, Montreal, New York State, and even less to drive to Ottawa.
- Campus: The campus is mostly ivy-covered limestone, making it an idyllic university campus. Every building–from very old to very new–has a story to tell.
