I lived in this particular Dalhousie residence for 2 years and while the people and ambience were…read moregreat (at the time, 18-20 year olds are easy to please) the facility itself did leave quite a lot to be desired. This building is pretty old and as a result, a lot of upgrades are required. For one thing, even with the window completely shut, my 5th floor westerly facing room used to collect a little snowdrift on the inside of the window sill. At the time, this didn't bother me a whole lot but it did probably contribute to a series of colds that I had all throughout first year. The entire building also seemed to suffer from a temperature problem as well. Laundry facilities were patchy at best. Don't even ask about the food. I lost weight in residence, put it that way. Overall, OBH could probably due with an upgrade or two! I understand that the lower 4 floors are currently rented out to 'a health care industry partner.' Pretty cryptic... I feel for whoever has to live beneath 2 floors of first year university students.

I went to Dalhousie for 1.5 years and studied Creative Writing. I went into a severe acute…read morepsychosis and had severe paranoid delusions during that time. My school made the decision to call the mobile crisis line to get peace officers to come and do wellness checks on me daily sometimes multiple times a day for multiple days. The police and peace officers were extremly well trained to do their jobs. They invited me to church with them and ensured my well being was good. They came with 8 peace officers and involuntarily took me against my will to the emergency room and forcefully medicated me. They sat by my side, fed me snacks and talked to me for over 12 hours until I was admitted to the emergency room. I finally given psych treatment that I needed for over 3 years. The police and peace officers that Dal contacted actually advocated for me to get a TON of resources including assisted living, a work program for people with disabilities, psych nurses to come to my home weekly to check in on me and unlimited food. I am forever grateful for their decision to contact the peace officers to involuntarily admitted me into the psych unit because multiple professionals refused to get me treatment in the past for years and I got brain damage because of it. I thank God everyday for this school getting me the treatment and resources that I needed to survive and reach my full potential. Sadly I had to leave school due to my acute psychosis and brain damage but I will be forever grateful for them advocating for me to get the resources that I needed to survive and thrive.

Many of the professors at Dalhousie are great, but the university as a whole is a complete scam…read more Administration cares so little for its professors and students that they are willing to jeopardize staff and student health and safety. My college, the school of health and human performance, on campus was falling apart and reeked of dead rats. My residence was filled with asbestos and I would hazard to guess that proper precautions were not taken during renovations. Please, please go elsewhere. Any scholarship they offer you is simply a ploy to take more courses. Don't fall for Dalhousie's garbage. If I could rate this less than 1 star, I would.

I was a transfer student with a 96% academic average and perfect attendance. I went into a severe…read moreacute psychosis and started demonstrating severe paranoid delisions during my third year. The professionals at the school did not take the time to talk to me and get to know me and isntead they labeled me as bullying my professors, expelled me and banned me from the property for life. They took away all forms of communication from me to prevent me from getting justice and told me I needed to hire a lawyer to talk to them while I was living in severe poverty. They never made sure that I got treatment from a peace officer for my acute psychosis and paranoid delusions so I stayed in my severe acute psychosis for over 3 years. Due to the length of time I went with my psychosis untreated I now have been diagnosed with severe brain damage and memory problems. They should have spent more time talk to me and getting to know my situation to ensure that they could have gotten me treatment from a peace officer and giving me involuntary treatment for my acute psychosis but their only goal was to maintain their reputation and sales so they didn't bother getting me treatment from a peace officer when they desperately should have done so. They ruined my transcripts with a false suspension and expulsion due to labeling my acute psychosis as breaking a rule and bullying my professors when it wasn't that at all and it has prevented me from getting into new schools and prevented me from getting a career. I demand that they remove my suspension and expulsion from my transcripts to ensure I can go to a new school across the country and get a career to be as successful as I can be. There was never a rule broken and they overlooked my acute psychosis while being very uneducated about how to get a peace officer to involuntarily give me treatment to prevent this from happening again to de escalate the situation. I demand justice and peace for myself and others in this situation. I demand that they reach out to me because they are ignoring me until I pay for a lawyer while living in severe poverty. My statute of limitations for legal actions would be extended about 3 years due to being in a psychosis for 3 years. They have threatened me with lawsuits with their lawyer as well which are baseless. I have NO FEARS and NOTHING else to loose from this school. I DEMAND JUSTICE IT'S BEEN OVER THREE YEARS.
