Things are a bit hard to manage. Part-time is hard to get.

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...

Good college. Difficult to maintain balance in student life.

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.

Opportunities are there, depends on you how you want to utilize.

Tips: Overall it's good. If you really want to study you have opportunities, if you're taking a course just for the sake of visa - coConestogas is way easier compared to other colleges. Still faculty and course structure vary by course to course mine was easy, 60% of assignments and 55% were passing so you can imagine!

Journey with conestoga is amazing. A lot to learn.

Tips: Moving to a new country gives a shift in culture. Things may seem unique, but it is a cool experience to learn and appreciate diverse ways of life. Students often get financial support through scholarships. They can visit the university website and share grades and personal stories. I am happy at the university, satisfied with the course and content with the country.

Did not enjoy my time spent at college.

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: At Conestoga college, I found a welcoming environment that helped me adjust to a new culture. While there was a bit of a cultural shift, the college support services made it easier.

Overall, I'm happy with my college experience, it offers a great education and I like the opportunities in Canada for personal and professional growth.

I felt the education was no different than India.

Tips: Definitely there's a cultural shift and as an Indian, it was easy to adapt because we usually follow most of the rules but the system here is very liberal. I didn't take a scholarship. In terms of satisfaction, I would rate my college 7 out of 10, course 8 out of 10 and country 8 out of 10.

Likes (Public transportation): Student housing is available close to the campus. So, we do not need to rely on transportation. Also, we have 24*7 public transit for most of the places. The campus I studied is close to all amenities. There a...

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.

Amazing course curriculum.

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.

I have spent the best two years of life in Conestoga College

Tips: Shifting to an entirely new city is a strenuous process. But one thing that I admire the most is the cultural diversity this college brings in. People from different countries and religions come together for the sole purpose, of a better life. I can definitely say that this college has brought out the best in me.

Tips: Indian students in this college are in big numbers. People from various parts of India stay at the campus while some live off campus too. University provides work to students and pay high wages. All the faculty members are friendly and caring.

Likes (Part time work): The pay for the hour is good and they pay instantly. People hire students with talent and experience. All students are getting paid on time with all incentives. People in Canada value work so they never change their behaviour with employees.

College once strived for excellence but now focus only on business.

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.

Quality of faculty is amazing.

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.

Tips: In this country, you will experience some transition after moving here. There is a cultural shift and you feel totally different coming from India.
