Multicultural Workspace

As an international student, I had a great experience studying at Algonquin University. The faculty and staff were incredibly supportive and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived on campus. The university also provided me with numerous resources to help me adjust to life in a new country, such as language classes and cultural events. The quality of education at Algonquin University is exceptional, and I found the courses to be challenging yet engaging. The professors were knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, and I appreciated the practical, hands-on approach to learning. The campus itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with modern facilities and a wide range of amenities. There are also plenty of opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities and meet other students, which helped me feel more connected to the university community. Overall, I would highly recommend Algonquin University to any international student looking for a top-notch education and a supportive, welcoming environment.

Combined Honors in Economics and Mathematics

Joining Mcmaster University is a wonderful experience. I personally have learned a lot. In addition, I really recommend and encourage students to join this school. University has a variety of courses.

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
