Heading into year 2 at Brock and am excited to get back, which I did not think I would ever hear myself say. Brock is extremely underrated in all aspects. Campus is beautiful, not too big or small the perfect class sizes to ensure 1 on 1 time with profs. My only complaint would be that the math department is definitely lacking in terms of profs.

Great school. Social life and school is a good balance, it it very manageable to have both.

My first year at Brock left me with no complaints. The campus is very well kept, in a great location, no traffic but still within 5 minutes of mall/grocery/convenience stores. Campus security is always driving around, making them accessible when needed. I would recommend

brock is very under looked in my opinion. it is a beautiful, well kept campus and you are paying for what you get. classes are very one on one which makes for an engaging learning experience. most professors are very flexible in terms of meeting with you and offering help when needed, minus a few of course!

I went to the University of Toronto before and never enjoyed the cold atmosphere, Brock feels so much warmer and inviting and I believe that the quality of education is better because of the smaller class sizes and seminar opportunities offered.

If you want to attend a school that has very poor communication skills then this is the school for you. I have attended post secondary before attending Brock university and I have not experienced this before. Sad when you pay thousands.
Overall 1.5
Not a great school, but you knew that when you got there. I was a graduate student there during CBC's investigations and never felt safe from that day onward. The school is all about making money not teaching. If you have the option go to another institution.
Overall 1.6
Not many opportunities around to be social unless you like sports. The buildings are gross and need a makeover and the new buildings that they are currently building already look like prisons. I'd steer clear of most of the food options on campus. The amount of times myself, friends, or people in general have gotten food poisoning here is crazy.

just dont go here.

Every time I think about this school I think why did I come here? You are nothing but passive income for the university and I should not be re-directed to a portal to ask a question when I have your email! Why are we making this more difficult? Not an automated reply but an actual person telling me "I can't answer your questions over email". Shame
