First, I'd like to start off with how ridiculous this school is rated. How is it possible that Niagara College is the #1 Public College in Ontario? The bus transportation sucks, so many of the students that take the transit are often to be late. Now being said, some teachers are far too strict for ridiculous reasons. We are paying these teachers to teach us, not to disallow students to come in quietly if they are late for any special reason. That also being said, I understand that they want to help better the students punctuality, but this is school, not work. Our job pays us and the students pay the teachers, make sense? Let's further ourselves; We must buy ridiculous priced programs and in order to obtain these programs such as, SAM, APLIA, LYRX, you are now obligated to buy the books on top of that. I would like to say that the environment and some of the teachers are very reasonable, but other than that, I'm very dissatisfied by Niagara College, I feel that Niagara College is a money eater. I went to Georgian College and I was not obligated to buy specific things in order to keep my grade up. Niagara College is one of the most famous Colleges in Canada winning national and international awards for both programs and services, including being the #1 Public College in Ontario for the past four years in student satisfaction. Student Life - Weekly activities and social events are organized regularly to help you enjoy your time at Niagara College. Small Class sizes - average of 13 students/class. Friendly, supportive staff, Individual academic counselling, Certificate upon completion, students from over 25 countries, On-Campus Dormitory.

Most teachers I've came across are great. Admin. is more than helpful if you seek them out. The NOTL Location is not so eventful, and the transportation is unfortunately not much help to get into St. Catharines. They stop running the buses from the campus into town around 9 or so. Therefore, there isn't many options to go out during nights if you are car-less. This also creates a dilemma for people who are in town trying to attend the events at the pub after 9 or so. (Just something to keep in mind, if you want to stay in residence or on the green). Welland camps is central to Welland. Just down the street from the Seaway Mall and all your basic fast food places. The technology at Niagara isn't bad. Depending on what you go for, the Welland campus has an awesome Mac lab. The Extracurricular Programs at NOTL aren't too often. (From what I know of?) The library is a nice place to be... really can't complain. There is security on campus(not) at all time, they are very visible. It can be reassuring. Considering it's school- everything is pricey. I try not eat at the cafe. I buy my books online at Amazon, or second hand. If you drive it can suck because you are stuck paying \"mandatory fees\" in your tuition for that quality bus pass\". (Though, the bus can be helpful in St. Catharines- for off campus students(Y). Overall, it depends on your own expectations. If you want to party and \"live it up\" live off campus (for NOTL students). They bus runs a decent amount & there are plenty of students in the area. The eduction is quality for most people. The Law Clerk program gives a beating- stay strong ;) Cheers, best of luck!

London Meridian College in Archway offers English courses starting from Elementary to Proficiency levels, including Exam preparation classes, Business, Legal and Medical English courses which are affordable and excellent value for money. Students are fun and teachers are very professional. The atmosphere is great and they also organise college parties and other social activities. Visit www.meridiancollege.co.uk or you could also check out lcmeridian@yahoo.co.uk on facebook and talk to the students to get some more information.

Client support from this school is SO poor. they sent me a poor quality acceptance letter without details about the program, homestay, etc. they did not change the letter or add clarification as i requested and the result was that Canadian officers in the visa process were concern about the veracity of my ESL program and reject my visa. Then i asked them to return my money and after three weeks i have not received anything except an email where they say "your refund should be in your account by now" without any reference such as receive or international wire transfer number. I do not believe in this school anymore. I suppose they are plenty of students and do not care about client satisfaction, visa processes, etc. Berlitz Vancouver shame of you.

This is not a school like you think. It is a shop on a main road.

Ideal place to learn English! Excellent teachers, superb location and many opportunities to practice English. Highly recommend it if you are about to enter a NZ university or improve your IELTS score.

For horticulture, this was an absolute terrible college. English classes provide no more than an opportunity to do \"show-and-tell\" which most of us haven't done since kindergarten for a reason.. class time by many teachers is used very ineffectively and classes seldom last the specified times. Teachers were unhelpful for the most part and wasted most time having students write the same field trip report about 20 times over the course and field trips are very repetitive. I graduated with honours even after skipping 30% of each semester simply because all material in the classroom is provided via YouTube or internet websites of which one may easily search in the comfort of their own home. I feel absolutely underprepared for any sort of career in this field, other than teaching these courses myself. Further, the administration are complete baffoons and keep you on the run around, and hand out emergency bursaries seemingly to those they favour; I was turned down with an obvious financial struggle, while a friend of mine that had money in the first place was granted two separate $1000 bursaries. So I starved for a semester while others drank away their free cash. Also, the library is disgustingly loud.

I could spend 12 weeks in GV Noosa. It was the very best time in all my life.

I enjoyed the combination between individual training and having group lessons, so I could practice speaking, writing and reading. Thans a lot for all support and the nice time!!

Я должна признаться что сначала сомневалась, но теперь могу с уверенностью сказать, что я наконец-то начала говорить по английски именно благодаря прекрасным учителям Скайларка! I am very happy I chose this school!

I was very satisfied with this school, it was hard at the beginning but teachers are very qualified and the learning environment is very helpful. I would definitely recommend this school to everyone.

Great place to study English. Although it is easy to get distracted, lots of parties. But the quality of teaching and the city itself are excellent.

I will study at TAFE in Australia. I have studied in two schools in Sunshine Coast. Sea is my first school. In Sea there is only maybe 15 students. I was only the student from my nationality. Teachers are nice. But please do not think that Sea is a serious school for study. It is very small and not serious like that. After Sea I went to the another school on the Sunshine Coast and I am very happy at that school because it is a big school with many students who are serious to study.
