- They have now closed down their classes at Cineplex due to less number of foreign students coming in. Now, all the classes are being held at the university.
Dislikes
- During 2021-mid 2025 period, there were classes being conducted in the Cineplex (Cinema hall). I have done most of my subjects from there. Hardly attended 2 subjects classes from the university, so I never got the feeling of studying from a university.
- Every year the university increases the fees by 10%, so you should know that.
- For the fees being charged by the International students in particular, the services/facilities that the university provides is not worth it.
- Finding accommodation was a struggle in 2023 and was expensive as well. Till date, it has not turned any cheaper. Though, yes, now it is easier to find a room for rent.
- Online portals: Marketplace and Kijiji. Monthly rent: Sharing- 350-450, Private room- 500-800. Other expenses food+ travel: Atleast 250 per month (including basic food (150 CAD), phone bill (40-50CAD), Bus pass (50 CAD).

- 2-year course duration of post-baccalaureate courses.
- Fun activities that the student union held almost every month.
Dislikes
- Classes being conducted in movie theatres.
- Lack of foreign student diversities. Most people were from India.
- University considers post-baccalaureate courses as money making machines and does not offer enough facilities.
- Most students find accommodations via whatsapp groups, facebook marketplace or Kijiji.ca. However, there are many scams and one should always deal by going in person and verifying the authenticity. Students live in Sydney, Glace Bay, New waterford and all the neighboring areas. Connectivity is via the public transit buses only, which are scheduled as 1 bus each hour on average.

- The province provides easy PR and university offers decent education with relatively lower fees.
Personally, overall college experience is quite good. There's a lot of things to learn of daily lives. You become a better person as an international students. For most of students getting into the college is a pathway to come to Canada. If you are a serious student then there are plethora of options for future. I'll rate my college and my experience 8 out of 10.
This is a so-called university, which offered me a Post-graduation in petroleum engineering in my offer letter, as I have my degree certificate now in that they have mentioned as Bachelors of Petroleum engineering. I don't know how this is fair to me I already have a bachelor's in chemical engineering, now this is done they are not going to change it.
Its a nice community and beautiful location. This side of the country is less established so more scope of development and opportunities. Rest all depends what you looking for!
Because of this picturesque place and Cape Breton being a welcoming place. Moreover my course only had 6 accredited colleges and Cape Breton University is one of them. So why not take full advantage of the area and study at the same time whilst being within the community and growing up. One of the best decision ever made.
After completing my MBA I decided to study more about specific field. I applied in lambton college for the supply chain management program but I did not get an offer letter for that program and I also applied in University for the same and I got offer letter from cbu,so I opted this University.
I got to know about this University through a friend. Since I am a dentist by profession I wanted to pursue my further education In Canada in the same profession and this University with this particular course opened the gates of opportunities and not just that an additional offer of being a health inspector in Canada which is a very elite profession. The admission Process was done by submitting a application fees of $103 and by showing the proof of my academic credentials in India along with the IELTS exam. It was the only college I applied for because of the friendly nature of the staff and the excellent job and placement opportunities at this University.
I completed a Doctor of Pharmacy from India and I aspired of pursuing higher studies in Canada. My best friend in the college, after her studies, flew to Canada,to one of the most beautiful campuses in the world for public health. My admission procedures was a big story, I got placed within 1 month of after completion of my Indian education( to the best of my knowledge, no one ever had a chance to get enrolled in a prestigious institution within a short span. My friend helped me with all the procedures at the university.
