TRU’s beautiful main campus is located in the heart of Kamloops, British Columbia, serving a community of 100,000 people. A welcoming city in a spectacular setting, Kamloops offers a safe environment, affordability and a wide variety of activities. The city is a 3.5-hour drive or 45-minute flight from Vancouver.
I think MBA program in TRU has valuable courses like Leadership and HR. These courses cover several case studies to help you apply the concepts on a real world scenarios. Whether you like to become an entrepreneur or work as a manager in a company you build a great foundation to help you hire the best employees or managing sinking company. However, some courses like statistics need to change a little bit; professors don't have enough time to teach the concepts properly. So I think it's better to have two session in a week rather than once a week.

Thompson Rivers University, Bachelors review
The campus is beautiful, and I made some amazing connections with fellow students and professors as well. Some things that absolutely need to be improved are campus housing costs, parking costs AND parking availability, and issues with the University cutting funding for certain programs, as well as not regularly offering important courses needed for program completion.

tru review
it alright cheap but many immigrants and the building are worm down. The parking situation sucks and the housing in that area is overpriced. If it wasnt so cheap for people in town to go to it it would be a terrible school.
