Good reviews

I love this school it’s a nice little campus. Easy to find your way around and has everything you need. The staff is really good too. School merch in the store is expensive and the food in the cafe is too but that’s to be expected. Overall it’s a clean school and I always feel safe even going to evening classes.

An ideal college for students seeking smaller classes and greater access to professors, staff and advisors. By attending Camosun for Years 1 & 2, and provided that your GPA meets transfer admission criteria, you’ll receive the same Bachelor’s degree as students who attended the university for all 4 years, with lower total tuition and fees.

It's a great college. The profs care, they're amazing. There's lots of benefits to being a student here and the college offers a lot of help that other places don't, they seem to actually care! The only bad thing I can say about Camosun is they don't offer a lot of classes they claim to on their site, assuming b/c not enough profs to teach.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.1
They do not provide a lot of courses, some of the courses are only offered once a year. You will take forever to finish your degree. Some teachers are garbage.

Uh ya this place sucks go somewhere on the mainland at least then you have opportunities.
Overall 1.6
They don't have course evaluation at the end of courses so the quality of teaching are very bad.Some online courses have no online tutorials, just asking you to read the posted materials. no need to hand in assignment apart from the assessment so no feedback on learning at all.
Overall 1.6
I almost didn't graduate from lack of communication. Classes were way too expensive and learning was minimal. When events where cancelled little notice was given and nothing to make up for the learning value lost not even an apology. The Young building is literally falling apart and needs to have parts if it blocked off but they still teach there.
Overall 1.8
Camosun has become evident that they do not care about student's time or opinions. It offers minimal classes with limited availability, has staff that goes off on irrelevant tangents rather than explaining course content, or makes assignments more complex than necessary for students. There is close to no social life on campus except at class time

I wouldn't attend again this school.

I've attended other technical colleges, this one falls far behind. Its gear, teaching styles, all outdated. Interurban campus especially so. The administration is horrible. They notified students only 2 weeks before the start of class that it was no longer online, all amidst a housing crises, and offered virtually no help to find housing.
