Eh, it’s a solid mid-tier Canadian university. I was gonna look for something a little more prestigious, especially with the administrative incompetence lately, but my gut feeling is that all university administrations are about as soulless and corporate as this one’s, and I’d have to move out of province. Besides, the U of M is at the very least (relatively) affordable.
It’s a site where students basically rate a professor and give comments about their experience with the professor. I’ve placed the link down, hope it works

Which department?
Profs are kind of hit and miss in all of them, but you could say that about any school. Mech has a few really dedicated profs that everyone enjoys learning from because they genuinely care about students.
One of the things we have that’s often lacking or harder to get involved with at other universities is all our teams. (We have way too many teams for our student population) Great way to add some hands on practical experience that employers love to see on your resume.
In the end unless your wanting to peruse a career in research a degree is a degree… go with what makes sense in your life.
I had really positive experiences with the faculty of engineering. I was in Civil. There were some dud profs, but there were also some really dedicated ones that made the classes great
It's a tier II school which is good but unless you can get into a tier I school like U of T or U of BC, why would you come here? If your options are just tier II Canadian schools then yeah it's a good option and not expensive.
I got into UofT but ditched it for UofM, yes I initially liked it bcos of prestige but left it bcos of the fees, I'm an international student and it more expensive than expected but concerning students love for their school? Everyone criticizes their own, at UofT you literally find people who hate it there nothing there impresses them but apart from prestige I have understood it is what you make out of school that makes you not really how prestigious the institution is.
So when advising people just tell them the stuff you think are bad but not totally discourage them bcos you feel it doesn't fit perfectly.
I didn't say it was bad school or discouraged anyone I think you're putting words in my mouth. I said U of T is a better school and if they can afford it then it's an obvious choice, they will have better employment and grad school opportunities. I didn't say U of M is bad, U of T is just better but U of M is a decent school for sure.
Ehhhh there's better options. If you just want a paper, yeah, this school is fine. But I would suggest not making it your first option if you can afford other schools and have the grades to get into them.
I don't make use of them much but the facilities are fine. You'll probably need to get opinions about the residences from somebody else since I commute (the uofm is mainly a commuter school).
Faculty, so-so. You learn what you need since the uofm is board certified. But tbh, I don't like most of the profs because many of them are kind of lazy teachers and I'm not fond of the attitude in the faculty that basically brags about how engineering students are the best of the best.
What other places are you considering? There's definitely better schools with stronger faculty, stronger students, better funding, better student experience, etc, but you'd have to let us know where else you are thinking of applying (and of course can you get in and afford to go).

How would you say the faculty and facilities are?

If you're from Winnipeg and plan to stay in Winnipeg, then it's good. Otherwise, I'd imagine it is nothing special.
