Hi! I’m an international student, and I was wondering how much the tuition fees and living costs combined for an undergraduate is. The information on the websites are confusing Lol.

[@dailypauie]

Hi! The tuition fees for every program varies bc each course taken have different fees so I can’t give you the exact ones but I can provide some rough estimate. I think for every semester tuition fees would be around $6000. For living fees it depends because you may have living different living expenses. So, rent would be around maybe $400-$500 per month and then you will usually they would ask for damage deposit before you can rent a place. However, living expenses would be more expensive if you are planning to stay in campus residence because for first year students they actually require you to have a meal plan. So, that gets included on your fees on top of everything. Let me know if you want me to make a quick video about living experiences. Thank you and good luck.

Hi, sorry but I do not have enough knowledge regarding the question you're asking. Hope you find answers.

[@kunalbang09]

Should I Apply If I Meet The Minimum Grades, like they are asking high 80s for Indian students and i have 85.

[@dailypauie]

Hi! It totally depends on you. I do not know much about how they evaluate but it gets competitive on some programs esp on the popular ones but there's no harm in trying. I would apply if I meet all the requirements, to be honest. If you're trying to apply for the next school years, try applying around fall season (sept-december) bc I think you'll have higher chance during those months since there's still not much competition. Hope this helps. Keep safe!

okay kidding aside, just think of it as "the more choices I have, the better" kind of thing. Then take a day or two (after you got all your admissions) to decide which Uni you think is the best for you. But if you have applied to a lot already, I do not think it will be worth it.

Hi! It is possible but it will be helpful to keep in mind that engineering is a very competitive program in U of C. Nonetheless, I will encourage you to apply for admission. There's this phrase I heard from a mentor before and it says, "Let the admissions team decide for you because that's their role. Your responsibility is to apply and wait for their decision."

Where'd you apply for the bursaries?

[@dailypauie]

For any scholarship, bursaries, and awards affiliated with the University of Calgary, they will "automatically" consider you for all the awards you're eligible in once you completed the information they asked for during admissions. However, once you're already a student, you'' have to apply for all the awards I think around June-July yearly. They will ask a bunch of questions about your extra curricular, grades, volunteers, etc. then that will be stored in their system. That also serves as your application. They are the ones that will see if you're eligible for any of the awards/bursaries/scholarships, then they will notify you about it and prolly ask you for more information if needed. Hope this helps!

[@dailypauie]

Hi! If you studied from Grade 10 in Alberta, then you do not have to. If not, I assume you do. However, for more specific questions regarding IELTS, you can send an email or call the admissions office of the university bc they know better for sure. However, make sure you ask them all your questions at once because they take too long to reply, for some reason. Hope this helps. Keep safe!
