Courses make you job ready and campus is a fun place to be at
Tips: One should be aware of the course outline and campus layout. Depending on your course or class, it may take a student 10 minutes on average to walk from the main door to the classroom. Tim Hortons on campus is often crowded. On campus residence is very expensive and not feasible for international students.
Likes (Student Life): Campus has a lot of facilities and more space than other colleges. There is a lot of space for a student to study in private or in a group. Also to enjoy various places around campus. There is a 10,000 sq ft gym and every student has access to it as well.
Dislikes (Internships): No internship opportunities are available in the particular course. There are some on-the-job exposure assignments as a part of the course. The course also provides you with access to studios equipped with the latest tech and you can loan equipment as required.

A decent place for short term courses
Tips: The college has excellent teachers and on campus facilities. They give you a PRESTO epass with which you can travel in buses free of cost. They also keep on conducting multiple sessions for international students and alumni on various subjects of concern, such as PR process, work permit application, resume building, etc. All in all, it's a good college, the only drawback being there's no job assistance.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teachers are brilliant here. Most of them would go out of their way to help, assist and guide students. They would not mind spending extra hours with weak students or weak concepts. Faculty support is definitely 10/10 here. Their teaching approach is undoubtedly holistic.
Dislikes (Internships): The college doesn't help in getting you any sort of internship. There are no job placements as such. Although there's assistance in creating resume and preparing for interview. So I wouldn't suggest getting your hopes high. Once the course ends, you'll be on your own.
