I am student in Acsenda school of management and have been studying here for about a month. Here are my take aways for you that might help you in deciding where to study. First of all, all of the professors and instructors love their job. They know what they are doing and execute it well. They teach topics that are applicable and relevant in the real world. Their focus is on business and are experts at teaching it. They are aware of the mental abilities of their students and adjust their teaching styles accordingly. Their lectures are digestible and incentives interactive discussions. They do not stress you out unnecessarily. The work load, activities, and assignments are not over bearing, and are more than ample enough to induce learning. The Staff do their best to help you and their aid is almost always productive. They greet you with a smile and are wiling to accommodate to your needs for as long as they are not busy with someone else’s. The environment is very hospitable since everyone there does not discriminate anyone for their gender, race, political beliefs, and/or religion. In fact, they are very welcome to strangers of varying backgrounds. The college has numerous clubs. There are clubs suited for anyone from clubs for all academic programs to a LGBTQ+ club. The college also offers students the chance to volunteer to aid the college in various ways that will aid you in gaining experience useful in the work force. They also have both a physical and digital library with a vast and easily accessible catalog and data base full of books and academic journals helpful in any of your assignments and projects.
Of all of the positives I could say about this school, there are also abundant negatives. For starters, it is expensive. Due to the economic situation in Canada and especially downtown Vancouver, the school’s location, the cost of studying is only going to go higher. It is likely not a fit for the light wallet. Located inside of a single floor in Park Place building, the school is very small. If you are looking for the university life and adventuring around campus, this place is not for you. It only has classrooms, a dining hall, a library and offices. It is somewhat claustrophobic, due to the school’s size there are no parks, gyms, courts and other amenities. Over all the school offers focused learning and are excellent at it. However, if you are looking for a broader college campus experience, this is likely not the school for you.
