    The University of Alberta is better than the University of Calgary based on the global university rankings, easy acceptance, and small class experience. A student who has to choose between the two must go with the University of Alberta. However, the tuition cost of the University of Alberta is higher in comparison to the University of Calgary. International students can check the comparison table below to get more clarity between the two:
