About Carleton
Carleton University attracts some of the brightest students from across the country and around the world. With the the fastest rising entry average in Ontario and the largest increases in research funding in Canada, Carleton is a great university that’s getting even better.
Ours is a green and beautiful campus nestled between the historic Rideau Canal and the Rideau River. We are just a few-minute walk away from Dows Lake which in the summer offers boating and in winter becomes part of the world’s longest skating rink.
With campus entrances on Colonel By Drive and Bronson Avenue, Carleton is easily accessible from both the airport and the city centre and with two bus lines and a light-railway serving the campus, Downtown is just 15 minutes away.
