I currently attend Carleton and I really enjoy it. The folks who attend this college are mostly what draw me there. They are all incredibly considerate and loving, and they all give back to the neighborhood. The norm, I believe, is Carl is kind, open-minded, liberal, and highly interested in the news.

The Carleton University Business program has shown to be of decent quality. The program has quite a few well-versed professors that are engaging and reasonable. However there are some professors that are significantly less engaging and provide less clarity in lessons in comparison to others. This could cause the pool of professors to be a bit of a mixed bag. The program itself has a reasonable workload. The new Nicol Building provides students with modern technology in the class room and charging stations at each desk for their devices. The campus provides an ample amount of leisure locations such as lounging and food areas and a quality library as well. Overall solid experience.

As a first-year student just having entered university in the midst of a global pandemic, it would be easy to quickly jump to the negative aspects of the online school year. However, the Commerce program at Sprott School of Business (Carleton) has in my opinion made an ample amount of compromises for their students. Business is a very communication-oriented, collaborative and interactive program. In the business world, you are constantly working with uncountable different personalities which you need to be prepared to adjust. As difficult as this can be online, my program has accommodated these needs in different and efficient ways. They have organized interactive workshops, provided us with collaborative opportunities with different business organizations, and directed us to available employment and volunteer options. The asynchronous classes leave room for flexibility in our busy time schedules, and so far most of the professors I have had this year have been helpful, thoughtful and enthusiastic about what they have taught. The school demonstrates internationality in the sense that it comprises a very diverse group of students, as well as provides multiple foreign language courses for those interested. In terms of career prospects, I do believe the Carleton business school provides students with a significant number of opportunities- one of these being a mandatory course every business student takes called: Employability Passport. This course devotes all of its attention to preparing students for their future careers. You learn tips and tricks to master your resume and cover letters, complete volunteer work/workshops that are very beneficial for your resume, and build networks. I am only a first-year student, but I feel pretty confident in this school and program so far, and would definitely recommend it to others.

I thoroughly enjoy the variety of courses offered within my program. The Carleton Sprott School of Business allows commerce majors to attain full knowledge of the different aspects of business. This includes courses such as information technology, supply chain management, marketing and entrepreneurship. Aside from giving students the opportunity to learn about distinct aspects of business, students are also given the option to select a distinct path by selecting a concentration (marketing, finance, accounting, international business, etc.). In addition, my programme offers real-world experience through a plethora of job, co-op and internship opportunities; furthermore, various workshops focused on networking, resumes and cover letters are made available to students. Nevertheless, one area where my programme could improve is the student-advisor relationship. Often, it is difficult to contact advisors and to even receive a straightforward answer. However, I am aware that the pandemic has had a detrimental effect on the efficiency of this communication and I look forward to major improvements in the upcoming semester. I thoroughly enjoy my selected programme and I am confident that other students would likely see the Sprott School of Business as an institution of development and opportunity.
