The program itself is great and really prepares you for an academic career, but the quality of the supervisors varies a lot. Some people in the department are excellent and enjoy empowering their students, but the majority of profs make you feel like they're doing you a favour by giving you their time of day/guidance. Might be an issue exclusively with this department, but still. And the campus is cool! Great cheap eats around. Shout out to El Rey for when you want to splurge a bit and get some awesome tacos!

I was a transfer from university of Toronto and when I tell you it genuinely feels like the program coordinators got their creditions from a homeless man down the street. I was in the computer science program at uoft transferred to the same here and the absolute incompetent morons at the transfer credit office basically disregarded over 12-13 credits I righfully earned as general credits instead of the correct course equivalence at the school. For example eesa courses ( environmental science) at uoft transferred as LIBERAL STUDIES CREDIT. Despite the otu equivalent course having the same syllabus as the eesa course the Program heads clearly made it a competition to display their blatant stupidity by disregarding this and continuing to assess these credits falsely. This school will trap you doing bulls*it courses and HOW ARE YOU CALLED A TECH UNIVERSITY WHEN YOU PROVIDE 0 COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSES OVER THE SUMMER AND YOUR COURSES ARE ALWAYS FULL
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.
