MacEwan University – South Campus

I’m not giving Grant MacEwan South Campus because it an old building, less prettier then the Grant MacEwan City Centre Campus. My «1» Star rating base on the Poor Academic Program, unFriendly and unprofessional School Environment. Unfortunately, a lot of students complaint about all the same problems. The school has no rules and regulations with Not friendly and no professional school environment. The classroom is not a safe, friendly, educational learning environment. There are horrible and unprofessional Professors too. Which is really unfortunate and sad. «Only takes poor kids money» claim by the Aviation Professor. I don’t think «poor kids» can afford over average $ 5000 in tuition cost and an extra $ 1000 in text books. Get poorly, mistreated by students and professors too. The professors know the students get mistreated poorly and academically too. It a lot of money to pay and invest tangible monetary worth and time spent too.

The South side campus houses the majority of Macewan’s human services programs as well as some of the business programs. I did two years at this campus before transferring to a different program at City center and have mostly positive things to say about the experience.
The staff over at the student resource center are great and eager to help whether it’s some personal counselling or help sorting out your student loan situation. The counsellors are available by appointment but if you need assistance from the staff that deals with program selections and finances it is done on a first come first serve walk in basis so GET THERE EARLY as you can sometimes be waiting up to an hour.
The on campus food selection is absolutely terrible. All they have to offer is Tim Hortons and a generic restaurant that did burgers, fries, and chicken that was so bland and awful I can’t even remember the name. Line ups were always huge around lunch time as they only had two tills and both weren’t always working.
To this campuses credit because it is so small it is much easier to establish a sense of community and belonging then at the huge downtown campus. The student union puts on a lot of social events making it easier to meet people and ease the transition from high school for even the most introverted of students.
If your business savvy or have a soft heart and love working with people this is a great school to check out for your post secondary education. With all the funding issues at the UofA Macewan is definitely poised to become Edmonton’s new stand out school.

The South Campus is located right by 2 High Schools and it is pretty fitting because this place feels like a high school… a depressing high school. It has almost no windows and even the lighting inside feels depressing.
Other than its depressing feel, everything here is easy to find because the place is so small. You won’t have any troubles finding classes. The teachers are really nice and easy to get a long with. The classes seem even smaller than the downtown campus.
I don’t recommend taking classes at this campus if you don’t have to.

I like the south campus of Grant MacEwan.
It’s not the greatest, but it’s a pretty nice place to be. When I attended school there it was an easy transition from high school because, in many ways, it is similar to high school. It isn’t a huge campus and there are lockers lining the walls. Everything is easy to find.
This is the campus for MacEwan’s School of Business and the Faculty of Health and Community Studies.
This campus has a fairly nice gym for students to use. It’s not a very big fitness area, but it’s adequate for the amount of students attending the campus. It was redone a few years ago and it’s a really nice place to work out now.
I like this campus.
