Bleak, isolated school that is poorly run with low standards and a general feeling of hopeless despair. Classes are small, but that’s because body is here or cares. Save your time and money and go anywhere else.

The environment at Algoma University is very poor. There is a lot of stress in the school which make a very hard place to learn. Many disgruntled workers and in turn the students pay for a poor education

Overall 1.2
Faculty and staff just voted no confidence in the president and leadership following a regime of mismanagement marked by a ruthless increase in legions of underserved and neglected international students recruited for profit all facilitated by decreased quality of learning for all.
Overall 1.3
Tiny isolated school run very poorly with nothing much to offer if you do not already live there. The worst school in Ontario situated in a dying town. Not a great option.
