Reviewed on Dec 1, 2025(Enrolled 2024)What Students Say
Likes
- Best part about university was beautiful campus and kindest teachers.
Course Curriculum
10
- The course was really up-to-date. A lot of our assignments had us looking at current industry stuff, and sometimes we had to watch webinars to get the info, which was actually pretty cool.
- We also got to go on field trips—like Whistler, Vancouver Convention Centre, and some Indigenous sites—and I even did an internship at the front desk, which was a good experience. Classes were usually two a day, three hours each, and my class was tiny, only like 11 people, so it felt really personal.
Admission Experience
- This university is best for Hospitality and Tourism programs, which is why I chose this university.
- I applied and got selected, nothing complicated.
- The admission requirements are:
- 6.5 band each in IELTS was required, and I for 7 overall.
- 6.5 in writing and reading
- 7 in speaking
- 7.5 in listening
Faculty
10
- The classes are small, so you get a lot of personal attention. All the professors are super kind, professional, and really approachable.
- My revenue management teacher stood out. He taught in such a chill and practical way that I’m actually using what I learned at my front desk job now.
Campus Life
10
- Campus life was pretty fun, but honestly, it depends on the person. If you’re social, there’s lots to do, clubs, sports, events, and even a wellness day every Wednesday, organized by the student union. There’s a club for pretty much everything, like tennis or volleyball, and I used to go for basketball and volleyball.
- The campus has a bunch of buildings, and there’s good infrastructure. There’s a library, sports facilities, and research support where you can chat online with experts for help anytime. Basically, there are tons of opportunities, but if someone doesn’t want to be social, that’s totally fine too.
Part Time Jobs
- Part-time jobs mostly pay minimum wage, around $17.60 per hour, which is pretty normal for students. The easiest way to get a job is usually through walk-ins or through references.
- Off-campus, students can work up to 24 hours a week, while on campus, there’s no strict limit, but getting a job on campus is pretty hard because everyone is competing for very few positions. Jobs like TA, RA, or DA are limited, so only a small number of students get them.
Placement
6
- Everyone in my batch found a job pretty quickly, mostly through internships. I got my hotel job that way, and some classmates got jobs in Whistler after their internships.
- The university also has a job portal and on-campus jobs, but you have to actually go for it; if you don’t apply, you won’t get anything.
Accommodation
Off Campus
10
- I didn’t use accommodation facilities, so I am not sure about that.
Exams
- IELTS and a CV were required for me; I am not sure about other programs.
Fees
- I paid $2500 per course. $36,000 for the whole program.
