For those students looking for more non-traditional or diverseroutes of study, Guelph also offers a wide range of international exchange and ‘semester abroad’ programs – meaning that students, no matter where they’re originally from, can benefit from both a top quality Canadian education (and degree), while also gaining valuable international experience, studying abroad with a partner institution.

Each year Canadian students assess what they like about their university, and each year Guelph students are among the most satisfied anywhere in Canada. Maybe it’s satisfied stomachs – as Guelph is also rated as having the best on-campus food in Canada!
