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!
You can study and get a degree here, but the university in itself cares little about students and does very little to help when needed. Guidelines are very vague and facilities are not built for as many students as are accepted.
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.
