Sheridan College (reviews)

My experience at Sheridan College was positive overall. The courses were practical and focused on developing skills that are useful in the workplace. Most instructors were knowledgeable, approachable, and willing to help students succeed. I also appreciated the diverse student community and the opportunities to work on real-world projects. While some courses were more challenging than others, the overall learning experience was worthwhile. I would recommend Sheridan College to students looking for a hands-on education and good preparation for their future careers.

I am currently studying in my 6th semester of the Business Administration – Marketing program. There have been many changes during my studies, including those made to immigration laws, which is why the college has closed some programs and live student asvisement. In general, the main disadvantage of Sheridan is the lack of advice, very often you have to ask teachers or other students for something, because it’s faster and more convenient than sending a request to the student assistance center. The main advantage of Sheridan in terms of my program is the teaching style and professors. Very often, these are industry professionals, CMOs, or business owners, who sometimes even give us the opportunity to work with their clients or put our knowledge into practice. It’s a very rewarding experience, and overall, I can recommend Sheridan if your goal is to gain experience rather than a degree and if you’ve already been through college experience before.

As an international student, acceptance and adaptation can be challenging; however, this challenge became one of my best experiences for personal and professional growth. At Sheridan College, not only are there international students, but the faculty members are also international. The environment is very pleasant and engaging

Coming out the other side of Sheridan’s Bachelor of Film and Television program, I’ve had time to reflect on what this place meant to me, and honestly, the best way I can put it is: it is what you make of it.

Sheridan gave me some amazing opportunities. I worked on real sets, used cutting-edge tech like the Virtual Production Stage, and met a lot of incredibly talented, passionate people. There were times when I felt like I was really pushing myself to the next level creatively, whether that was in cinematography, VFX, or experimenting with storytelling that felt deeply personal. There were also challenges. Lots of deadlines, burnout, group dynamics, and some of the usual school frustrations, but those things are part of any program, especially one as collaborative and intense as film.

What made my experience fulfilling was how much I decided to pour into it. When I leaned in, said yes to projects outside of class, built relationships with profs and peers, and tried new things even when I was unsure, that’s when Sheridan felt most valuable to me. The program has its flaws, sure, but it also gives you a sandbox with real tools that the industry uses. Whether you build something with them or not is kind of on you.

So yeah, if you’re looking at Sheridan, especially in a creative field, just know this: it’s not a magic ticket, and no one’s going to hand you your dream career. But if you’re hungry, curious, and willing to put yourself out there, it can absolutely be a launchpad. You’ll get out what you put in.
