Felt like I was trapped

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

Highly Educational!

Truly, Humber College will always be an educational institute that I will recommend to family and friends. The reason for this is because they put students first, and hire professors who are professionals in the field they are teaching. I graduated from the Child and Youth Care program in 2018, and really appreciated the fact that my professors were Youth Workers themselves. This allowed me to gain field knowledge, and experienced education. Furthermore, the campus is clean, safe and full of fun activities year round. All in all, Humber College was a great experience for me from 2015-2018.
