It is overall a good college in terms of education.
Tips: Area wise it is not huge as it looks, but most colleges over here are like this. If you want a gigantic campus then you should go to universities. So, there is not much scope of on-campus jobs. Also, they do not have parking of their own. So you need to pay every month for parking.
Likes (Public transportation): Skytrain (metro in India) is only 2 minutes walking distance and the college is right before downtown. Even there is Pacific Central Station that consists of both buses and trains for going long-distance places like Calgary (Alberta) or Seattle (United States).
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have experienced that college does not help in providing jobs after completion of studies, it will help you to get Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). There is no system where recruiters will come into the college to hire students but they have some job fairs that will help you in deciding your career line.
