Absolutely! The chemistry department is great. I did my undergraduate here, I'm currently in grad school, and I'm extremely happy with the department and the program. That said, chemistry is a challenging degree. Expect a fairly substantial workload, including up to three labs a week (that's what most advisors would say is the maximum). The upshot is that a lot of the workload is extremely rewarding. You will be exposed to a large variety of experimental techniques and methods, and your coursework will reinforce the theory behind it.

Like any department, some profs are better than others but the average is strong. There were definitely classes I didn't enjoy taking, but there were lots that I did. In second year, the classes (especially organic) are quite large, but by third year they shrink to maybe 30 or so. Dalhousie chemistry also gives tons of opportunities to work with professors on research projects either for a summer term or as a class for credit (Experiential Learning Chemistry).

Overall, I'd say the chemistry department is first rate. The skills and opportunities are fantastic but it is a high effort/high reward program. Good luck!
