Our university now goes by the name Ontario Tech University. As a transfer student from a university outside of Canada, my honest review about Ontario Tech is 4.5/5. Coming from a university that started just four years ago, I can tell the difference between a long-established university such as OT and one that is still in the process of establishing itself. The professors at Ontario Tech have grown to understand students’ needs when it comes to comprehending course materials and testing their knowledge. Exams and study materials challenge students in a way that somewhat reflects the outside world of business. There is no doubt that as a student, you will face a gap in knowledge between what you’ve learned and studied at the university and what you’ll find yourself doing after graduating and finally landing your first job; however, this is where our university differs from others. At Ontario Tech, you’ll find various opportunities to take part in clubs, projects with your professors, events, and meetings with guest speakers. All of these will benefit you with job market knowledge, differentiate you from others to employers, keep you ahead in terms of skills currently required by jobs, and you’ll find yourself enjoying them as they are not all job-focused but also hobby-related.

The program that was taken was great. Really learned great fundamentals when it came to different courses. First year had the general business courses so those will be able to branch off into something different if they found a certain course interesting. Second year is when each student was able to dive into their program of choice. More in-depth courses this year round and continued that for the next years. More and more advanced courses with the opportunity to transfer to a university program. Taking college courses and then going into a university course was a much smoother transition and getting the hands on experience has helped me today. The teachers were awesome for the most part. A couple of bad apples and when I mean a couple it was only two really. The students were great too. All very chill and aspiring students to take their future seriously starting with schooling. The campus had everything you needed. Multiple Tim Horton’s, McDonalds, a cafeteria, good size gym and multiple gymnasiums too. Fairly close to in the city to go walk around. Had housing around the school too. Very diverse and had all walks of life. Crested a better experience in my opinion. Met a lot of great people and hope they’re doing well. I still talk to a few people today via social media.
