Verdict at Queen's University, Kingston

Overall, the faculty is helpful and the overall culture is welcoming. Practical versus theoretical is an ongoing discussion in the education world but in comparison perhaps other reputable universities have struck a better balance there. Apart from that, the economy is heavily leant towards government jobs so, in that aspect, other cities are better than London. Students must make their choice after taking these things into consideration.
