PhD Psyc

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!

University of Guelph Undergrad Experience

The University of Guelph is great for several reasons. The campus is very nice and well-maintained with a variety of delicious food options for everyone. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved on campus regardless of program or interest, and the people running those programs are extremely welcoming. There are also many job opportunities on campus for students. Overall, the campus life and social aspect of the University is amazing. As for classes and professors, the majority of my review is positive. I had some great classes and some great professors, however, I found many to be teaching just for the sake of it, reading off slides, and hardly engaging with students. Furthermore, I felt some classes were unnecessary for my program, and my time could've gone elsewhere. The classes for my program were mostly applicable and useful, however some felt like a waste of time. Overall, the University is amazing, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it for their undergrad, wanting to meet people, and really make the most of their time at school.

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.

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.
