Niagara College Canada

not bad of a school
Great school! They are tough, they give you enough work for you to really learn the grammar and the vocabulary. Its not like other places where you have to learn the text book all year and that is it. I liked the fact they try their students get involved in the Canadian society, including historic and social topics to the classes. Loved it there. Thanks Guy's
I made lots of new friends. This course was a good experience. The Campus is amazing!!!
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.
Most teachers I've came across are great. \n \nAdmin. is more than helpful if you seek them out. \n \nThe 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). \n \nWelland camps is central to Welland. Just down the street from the Seaway Mall and all your basic fast food places. \n \nThe technology at Niagara isn't bad. Depending on what you go for, the Welland campus has an awesome Mac lab. \n \nThe Extracurricular Programs at NOTL aren't too often. (From what I know of?) \n \nThe library is a nice place to be... really can't complain. \n \nThere is security on campus(not) at all time, they are very visible. It can be reassuring. \n \nConsidering 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). \n \nOverall, 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 ;) \n \nCheers, best of luck! \n \n
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. \n \nNiagara 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.
