Student review [#87919] for Bachelor of Commerce( Honours)
at University of Ontario Institute of Technology - UOIT

My time at Ontario Tech University (formerly UOIT) from 2014 to 2018 studying Business Commerce was a tough but rewarding experience. The program challenged me academically and pushed me to grow both personally and professionally. One of the most unique aspects of the school was its strong focus on technology. Every student was provided with a laptop as part of a mandatory tech-enabled learning environment. This helped prepare me for the real world, where digital skills are essential.

I genuinely learned a lot during my four years. The professors were knowledgeable and approachable, and the curriculum provided a solid foundation in key business areas, from marketing to finance. The emphasis on applied learning, group projects, and real-world business scenarios made the education practical and engaging.

That said, the campus lifestyle could have been better during my time. The school was still relatively young, and between 2014–2018, it lacked some of the student amenities, events, and social infrastructure you’d find at more established universities. While there was a sense of community, it wasn’t as vibrant as I hoped for something I believe has improved in recent years as the university continues to grow and invest in its student experience.

Overall, I’d recommend Ontario Tech to students who are serious about their studies and want a tech-forward education. It’s a school that’s evolving quickly and has the potential to become one of Canada’s top modern universities.
