Conestoga College Reviews & Ratings ,Kitchener,Canada

Tips: The transition coming to Conestoga college back in 2017 wasn't difficult. I did experience homesickness but I had good housemates. The college has got good facilities. International students are still coming to the college and Conestoga College is well known now compared to before, when I came very few students knew about Conestoga college. Please note that finding part time jobs in Kitchener and Cambridge was relatively easier in 2017 ( when I worked part time) than now. Current students can be...

Tips: The college is good. We do get scholarships in school. It was about 3000 dollars. It has helped me a lot to pay my rent and buy groceries. Everything is good in Canada but sometimes buses come very late. Skytrain service is good. More buses should be added to the route. Bus drives are nice. A compass card is expensive here. Everything is expensive nowadays. I spent about 200 dollars on it.

Tips: Not very satisfied with the college. I felt that it could have been more engaging and the topics could have been described and explained better. Most staff were employed in 2 or more jobs and they value their time over the students. But this can't be said for all staff as some staff really did make the effort to make students understand the topics.

Likes (Safety): The campus is quite safe for students as there are always security around the facility. And since the campus is quite secluded and is away from the m...

Tips: This college has a good name in the market and provides a good education. However, they have a zero acceptance policy for copied work and even take action towards students who cheat on their assignments and in their exams. Overall this college provides good infrastructure, classes and atmosphere to study.

Tips: I have completed this degree online because of covid. My course curriculum was quite impressive and well-structured. As per my friend's opinion here food & tiffin services are provided to students by many active restaurants. Which usually cost $15-$25 per tiffin. And if you are living in sharing then living expenses cost $500-$700.

Tips: Students should certainly look for any rumours about the college. Conestoga was good when I joined but now the flow of students has increased and employers think twice about hiring someone because of the rumors that students only work and pass with an average grade. Spending more money and getting admission into universities rather than colleges is better. The country is full of immigrants but it is good and safe to stay with Indians.

Tips: The students should know that they are going to have the best two years of their lives. They will have to work hard and do everything on their own. They can’t depend on their professors for everything but in the end it will be all worth it. After coming here I have become more independent and have learned to do everything on my own which I think whoever is planning to come here, especially from India needs to learn eventually.

Likes (Part time work): The student life here is very happening and chill. In between classes,...
