One of the best universities in the entire Caribbean and we are so grateful to have such establishment in Trinidad. The lectures here are amazing and so friendly. They alter their teaching practices to accommodate everyone and always make students feel welcomed and that their voices matters. Totaly love this university.

Keecha Hope

The atmosphere is always buzzing, bustling, busy and loungish near the food court. Love the scenic spots where you can gather your thoughts. The University is always great but the traffic to come out at South Gate ? around 4pm during the week...oh my! …

This university was founded in 1922 as the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture where research was conducted on cocoa, sugarcane, coconut and animals. Faculty and students came from across the British Empire. Beneath the ramparts of …

Slow, shitty, lackadaisical Administration. Laced with staff who will get offended when asked to reasonably do their jobs. Terrible at communication— they do not respond to calls nor emails. To this date they have taken 5 months to issue me …

The admissions office is unhelpful. Initially, I emailed admissions but they take about 3-4 months to reply. So, when I had another concern I decided to call in. The lady working in admissions was not interested in understanding my issues, …

Did not like it at all! Why do full time students have classes at 5-8pm? In TLC of all places. It’s so creepy at night! There have also been some incidents of robberies going on in the university. Please do not stay in the dorms on campus …

Ronaldo Johnson

After walking through the empty halls of UWI, it struck that life is short and we can't really tell what is really going to happen in the future. At this time of the semester, it usually has a lot of activity with persons preparing for …

Kaiheba Clyne

Can't seem to find help around this place. You have to know what you are doing and basically figure stuff on your own or with help of friends(depends on your ability to make friends).
I don't like the country and environment.

hello trinidad

Very ghetto. Do not recommend as a school.
The customer service is the worst I've ever experienced at a University. No care is given towards the student body.
You will come out of here worse and poorer
