Why I chose Guelph...

Guelph was actually one of my top choices for my undergraduate degree. Having chosen a different university to do my undergrad, when applying for graduate school, I knew I wanted to attend Guelph to continue my studies! The CCJP program appealed to my criminology background and my work experience in the criminal justice system.. I knew this was the program for me!​

About the Campus...

The University of Guelph has a real campus feel to it, all the facilities are within a short walking distance. The addition of green space such as the Arboretum and Johnston Green are important spaces for students to relax and stimulate their mind in with nature which is a great relief after a hard day of studying.
