Overview

I chose this college because some of my friends had graduated from this college and were able to get an internship and a job post completion (on their own merit). And they offered a 2 year program with 4 months break and co-op. Other colleges either offer 1 year program in HRM or 8 months program. This was the best option economically and getting a work visa wise.

Extracurricular activities are good, we have a business club, mental health club, tutoring club, and meet and greet events. We have a small library, gym on campus and a lot of reading and meeting rooms accessible to everyone.

Campus life is amazing. There's a lot to get from it including new people, new experiences, new food etc. My city could for sure use some new infrastructure to better help students. And university could create some new clubs like MUN and debating to bring out the best in students.

Overview

The campus is noticeably small and lacks fundamental amenities such as a library or a gym, along with other essential facilities. Moreover, the quality of teaching is subpar, necessitating the need to seek external resources like YouTube or other websites to comprehend the subject matter adequately. Additionally, there is a scarcity of professors who possess effective teaching skills.

Overview

The AU is the best educational institute. I am the live example. Instructors, Management, Students Association - Thunderbirds, the entire staff, etc all are so supportive and down to earth. Whenever I needed help, I always got prompt support. I really admire the education system, the programs, and the teaching style of the AU. Students are given opportunities in every field to become confident to enhance their knowledge. I can write a full book on the AU. In a nutshell, any international or national student can apply to the AU for a bright future. With regards:) Ridhina

Overview

Algoma has two Campuses: Sault St. Marie & Brampton, I choose Brampton campus because it is the only university which has Campus in Brampton Downtown plus it's a good university academically! If you want to explore the local/ regional areas of Ontario, Sault St. Marie is the best campus for you. For city (downtown) life, Algoma has Brampton Campus which is connnected to Bus & subway terminals of GTA. Furthermore, courses at Algoma are field specific and provides the opprtunity to get onboard with big MNC players like Deloitte, Amazon, etc. Graduate Certifcates are of 2 years which enables upto 3 years of PSWR (Post Study Work Rights) for an International student. Additionally, there is an official break of 4 months in between where an international student can work full-time legally (for Graduate Courses only).

Algoma's Brampton campus is huge compare to other candian college(s) campus in Brampton. Since, Sault St. Marie is the main campus, it's actually really huge! I have been Orientation leader from last two semesters and I tell you that all the extra curriculam activities at Algoma are captivating and infirmative. The university brings every culture and community close to each other and they host all the Indian festivals all round the year so that students can make new friends and gel up with the faculty.
