It is a very demanding school, but they provide a solid knowledge.

The practical nursing program in this school is well taught. They really teach students the basics, not just toss them a bunch of information and tell them that someday they will learn to connect each and every subject together. Lastly, this school is very multicultural. I love learning from different cultures.

I'm in Disability Studies and I love the experience I've had at Bow Valley. The instructors are really supportive and there are lots of student services if you need help with anything- finances, academics, mental health, social opportunities, etc. The program I took was directly transferable to the U of C.

School is great, location is nice with the LRT being connected to the +15. Lots of places to study, and talk. Project rooms are A+! Good verity of food in cafeteria, cafe and Tim Hortons (X2). Security guards everywhere, even late at night who make it a safe environment to the best of their ability. Safety walk program is offered for students. 8/10

Teachers here are pathetic , limited number of teachers , on top they only want to fail their students and earn more money again. 80 percent of students are International and pay 3 times the regular fees.

Horrible experience. Incompetent management at least 4 levels up. Run like a dictatorship by people who get paid the same whether or not students learn. Too many instructors with NO teaching experience and given no support. Good instructors quit. Students told to "Google." Save your $ and teach yourself online as that is what you will do anyway.

This school is a diploma mill. It's addictions studies programs have no credentials or validation and is always in a state of transition. Professors have come and gone in my 3 years here. Do yourself a favor and not take this unrecognized program

You could actively be on fire and your instructors and administration would dock you marks for not being on fire during your own time.

The worst educational experience I have ever had.
Overall 1.3
This is the absolute worst school I have ever attended. The teachers make so many mistakes and are unorganized and then give the students lectures because the teachers dont want to get in trouble. You get treated like you are tne years old. Do not go here
Overall 1.3
The college is poorly managed. The teachers give students false hope for carreer opportunities. Unfair grading. The opinion about BVC is very negative. I found it out when searching for a job in nursing. I would never recommend it to anyone. Waste of time!
Overall 1.3
This school is terribly organized and needs to take a lesson from either of the universities in how to run a decent program.
