Brock University Speciality : Education
programme: Concurrent Education

At first, coming to Brock University was hard for me as it was away from home and a new experience. It was especially nerve-wracking as I had barely heard any good stories about Brock. I often heard about universities like Guelph or Laurier, which made me quite nervous. However, I have loved my experiences at Brock. The professors, community, and classes have taught me so much, both personally and professionally. I would say the only thing I dislike is the limited options for some classes, including classes that are required for our programs.

Since Brock is a smaller school, the campus is pretty easy to become familiar with. Almost all of the buildings are connected, which is really nice in the winter. It doesn’t have a ton of food options/things to do near the campus, but the bus system is pretty easy to use! The gym was also recently renovated and is really nice.

The campus is alright. Sometimes feels like you’re in jail. Lacks study spaces. Food options are alright. The university gets you the degree. The academic advisors are good though. Gym is really nice as well.

Brock University is overall a well-established post-secondary school. Its Concurrent Education Program is a 6-year program that allows you to fulfil the requirements of obtaining your Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) certificate. Once you complete your 4 years, you enter into 2 more years of teachers’ college. Many of the classes were very repetitive but overall did contribute to my learning.
