What students say about George Brown College


Likes

  • The course curriculum is really good; they have wisely categorized the subjects and the content as per the two semesters.
  • It is great for building skills for after graduation, and you receive lots of supervision.
  • I had a great time learning about the field and how to conduct myself. It is very rewarding when youre done with your placements.
  • However, there are some scholarships available based on your background and academics at GBC.
  • They organize programs and online events where students can participate in discussions and have the opportunity to win incredible prizes during various celebrations.
  • In total, I paid 500 and got my own room with three meals a day, unlike in the college residence where I was expected to pay much more than this.
  • The fees are the same as any other college, but they also offer scholarships to those who deserve and perform well academically.
  • The faculty were all incredibly talented, although some were more charismatic and better at teaching than others.
  • Because of the location and its credentials, I also saw many online reviews, and it seemed like the best option.

Dislike

  • They all make sense. They build up for each placement, but some courses dont need to be repeated each semester as they are the same every time and there is no new content being taught.
  • For international students, it is obviously very expensive, and additional charges are added that are supposed to have meaning but actually do not make sense

  • Dislikes:
  • "Nothing to dislike for me. This was the best experience for me so I can't say I dislike anything about this college. Yes if you don't like to socialize or are against the view of meeting new mindset people then you should stay away from this one. "

The main reason I chose this college was firstly because of reputation and secondly because of location. This was the best experience I had so far in my study life as I got to meet so many new people.

  • Dislikes:
  • The post-grad opportunities were very less and students found difficulties in getting a field-related job due to lack of placements and the value of the degree itself.

Overall, it was a pretty below-average experience at George Brown College, as the degree didn't meet my expectations. I was expecting to get industry-related jobs but had difficulties in finding one because a post-graduate certificate is not valued like a Master's Degree.

There is no requirement of LOR or SOP for this course, but you do require a resume and there is no interview for this course Well it’s had a good reputation among other colleges and was recognised among companies Overall I do like college experience, helps me connect with new people. Just that the professors are pretty underwhelming. They don’t really teach

George brown is a renowned designated learning institute (DLI). As I was searching for Health Informatics program and GBC was the only college offering a pgdm. The best part about GBC is that most of its programs have CO-OP opportunity, which helps a student get some relevant paid experience in their respective field of study. Being a dental graduate from India, I wanted to pursue my masters degree in Canada but as our degree is not accredited by the Canadian government, I had to choose for a different course. Health Informatics at that time seemed to be the best option as it is one of the rapidly emerging field in the health sector. Especially during the pandemic everyone could realize how important it is to augment information technology with the health sector.

The main factor in choosing GBC was the program included specialization in the field I wish to work in the future. No other college provided that. Another factor was the professors are top-class. Most of them are industry professionals and teach industry techniques. Lastly, the college is in Toronto and has world-class facilities and a campus.

It is one of the oldest & best colleges in Downtown Toronto. As it is Downtown the Part-time & full-time Job opportunities are also ample.

I chose this college as it was giving me the exact same course that I always wanted with a mandatory co-op. Also, it was in the heart of the city -Toronto, so choosing this college for my studies was a good choice.
