Diploma in Architectural Technologies - Batch of 2024

3.1

The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology is good but a bit overpriced.

Tips: The cultural shift is massive, and students must work hard to earn a scholarship. Students must also understand the total cost of attendance, including tuition fees, books, and living expenses. They should also explore financial aid options. Finally, students must be prepared for the workload and learn how to manage their time effectively.

Likes (Student Life): In college, my day typically starts with morning classes, where I engage with professors and classmates on various subjects. Between classes, I often study at the library or work on group projects. I also make time for extracurricular activities, whether it's club sports or social events.

Dislikes (Value for money): I think this college was overpriced. I paid almost double the tuition of other colleges. The college fees are significantly higher than the quality of education and services provided. The quality of teaching is not commensurate with the fees, and there is insufficient faculty support.

Significant for studying yet fun.

Tips: Students should prepare themselves to think more practical. SAIT's course structure focus on industrial working. Prior knowledge of the subjects is not a necessity but it is will be leveraged if you'd know the work you do prior to the professor telling you. Even after the SAIT's tight schedule, you'll never feel the stress. It is a lot of fun at SAIT due to all of the extracurriculars. So, coming students should prepare themselves for an adventurous journey.

Likes (Safety): Moreover, Calgary being less populated than other famous Canadian cities, it is a lot safer too. Public transport is reliable too. With a subway station near the SAIT, students get many advantages. After the Covid 19, SAIT become a smoking-free campus. I felt completely secure during my tenure at SAIT. The campus is looked at by the guards.

Dislikes (Part time work): It is pretty challenging to do a job as well as a study due to the problematic syllabus of SAIT. Although SAIT on your resume impresses the companies to offer you a job, it is seen commonly that students often do part-time work not related to their studies at SAIT.
