Seneca College Speciality : Sociology
programme: Social Service Worker Gerontology

My program SSW-G is great as it offers 2 opportunities where you can be a social service worker or a recreational therapist for seniors.

The professors were awesome as they guide us from day 1 until our last day in school for our studies. It was a challenge, especially during the pandemic. However, our professors did not give up and continued to offer us quality education that can help us grow professionally.

The program wasn’t bad, it was a little tough honestly. The professors were a little harsh, some were nice but there were too high of expectations for a program that was in college. The campus is accessible, it is near York so I guess that wasn’t too bad at all. It was also always busy, the buses and everything. Overall my experience was good, could have been better if they allowed more accommodation.

I am currently a 2nd year student in the Social Service Worker Gerontology Degree program at Seneca College. Throughout my two years, I’ve developed a love for this program. This program is entirely about the study of ageing and how to create and develop programs for seniors. The SSWG program gave me a variety of placement opportunities, fieldwork and engaging classes. This program gave me the right educational and practical confidence to be able to assist elders and provide them with a better quality of life.
