Other Thoughts… 

In graduate studies, you will work harder than you have ever worked, but it is going to be so rewarding. There are experts in every field at the University of Guelph, who will support you and offer so many resources that are available to help you succeed. You are also going to meet some incredible people along the way, especially since there is such strong comradery among fellow graduate students. I know this is a cliché, but I think you get out of your time here what you put into it, and there are so many opportunities available to take advantage of, to ensure you have a great experience.

Graduate, PhD.  Animal Biosciences – Animal Behavior & Welfare

Why I Chose Guelph… 

The University of Guelph has an amazing reputation for research excellence and is home to the Ontario Veterinary College. As my interest has been in the field of animal welfare research, I knew this was the place to pursue my graduate work. I also fell in love with the campus and community during my time here as an undergraduate student. 

About the City of Guelph… 

There is a real sense of community in the City of Guelph. The people are very friendly and welcoming. I also love the amount of trails and green space in the city, which are perfect for long walks with your four-legged friends! 

About Campus… 

There is just something so inviting about the walkways and greenery on campus. It is very comfortable and an easy campus to navigate when you are a new student.
