Student review [#68198] for Business and Marketing
at George Brown College

As an international student stepping into a new country, I was filled with curiosity, fear, nervousness, and excitement. I chose George Brown College as my first step in immersing myself in a different culture and learning about the marketing world.

Firstly, I believe that George Brown College has a strong international community that supports international students like myself. While being an international student, there were aspects I didn’t know how to prepare for, but the college staff were all welcoming and willing to assist. When I arrived in Canada, it was amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite facing online courses, GBC provided an excellent virtual tour and orientation, introducing all the campuses, programs, and essential details. This made me feel less frustrated and nervous.

Regarding my program, Business Marketing, I am grateful for choosing George Brown. The professors are all approachable and professional. I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience through various projects. Additionally, the business department hosts several events for networking opportunities, connecting students with professionals who are willing to offer guidance whenever needed.

However, there are a few areas where I believe GBC could improve. I think the college should organize more diverse cultural events. Additionally, for the international department, networking events could help international students connect with each other, fostering a supportive community. This year, there has been frequent movement between classrooms in different buildings, which can be frustrating and time-consuming. It would be better if classes were held in the same building.

Overall, I consider GBC to be a good college. I would recommend it to anyone considering studying here. The facilities and staff are all supportive, contributing to a positive learning environment.
