Every thing at Sault Campus is about money and you don’t get the quality needed.

Courses: You would be paying for some courses that’s offered online and self taught. The courses that have professors teaching, some don’t even respond to your emails at all. Some don’t provide no feedback for assignments, etc.

Housing & Meal Plan: housing and mandatory meal plan is very overpriced; look to pay around $10,000 for the school year. Meal plan food is the same food over and over for the whole year.

Library & Bookstore: very spacious, but first floor is very noisy. Second floor is much better in terms of noise. Book store is very pricey as well.

Employment: It may be very difficult to find employment on campus; preference would be given to friend of friends rather than your qualifications. Of campus employment is near to impossible as well; employment is by association as well.

Documents: any documents you request here, there is charge (proof of enrolment, graduation certificate, etc).

Overall, I would say avoid Algoma U if possible

Education here is good, and some professors are exceptionally outstanding. However, bureaucracy is a real— Student Success Centre often try if they can, fend you off rather than allowing you to sit and talk to your advisor or accounts team. Trying to get help here, it’s an unproductive cycle where your questions go unanswered, and then you’re blamed for not knowing the answers. The student life team feels like the same 5–6 people organising and attending events suiting to their own interests. The campus is beautiful, and the library’s main floor is the best spot—ironically, also the noisiest (though there is a quieter floor downstairs). Overall, imhho algomau is just a sad place.

They don't handle this school well. They should know how to extend the time to drop a class but instead make me pay $43. Bad school, wouldn' recommend.

Totally money concerning university. They have no humanity to their students. No responsible staff member to listen to student's issues. All they want is money. Don't expect for an exception or extention due to any reason. No response from the staff to emails. Zero communication. Such a shameful place. Don't ever enroll your children to this place.

Worst university ever, only greedy for money. Charging for the same thing multiple times and not even replying to emails, and if I tried to call them, they never picked up, and it's been over a month.
