I am enjoying my college life at Conestoga so much everyday I get out of bed knowing I am going to have an amazing day!
Overall 4.1
Great school for hospitality and business courses. The majority of the professors treat every student with respect & are always there for them and willing to teach you anything you wish to learn. Conestoga makes sure the first year students always feel welcome and that they in the school community. Everybody is friendly and willing to help you.

Career Center is a letdown. Spamming job listings, no real connections. Advisors overwhelmed, zero personal support. Save time, YouTube's more helpful.

Worst college

Greedy institution with no integrity at all.

This is the worst college in Ontario, ineffective and useless professors, no student resources to aid with financial standings, course selection, co-op, etc... If you go to this school you are left to you own devices, nothing works, they only care about getting your money with little to no regard for student success.

Choose a different school for every single reason. Conestoga does not know their head from their ass. My undergraduate was the worst experience of my life. Nothing like spending 4 years at a school that is more interested in supporting international students then their own local people.

Conestoga College Doon Campus is not a good school. Instructors like Daniel Gauo, for economics and Hameed Al Aubodah for electronics have really bad attitude for non white students. Registeration women are so mean. The college offers free printing but the printers are out of toners most of the time.
Overall 1.1
Stop spending money on useless renovations to improve appearance, and start spending money on providing resources to students. Library is always crammed and is treated more like a cafeteria. BScN students are not accommodated by the college. There should be a health sciences library for these students who truly require a dedicated space.
Overall 1.3
Some programs are a lot better than others. Newer programs tend to be horrible. If a program has not been around for long I STRONGLY recommend avoiding it. The disorganization with make your head explode if something goes wrong with your grades, courses, etc. Not worth it. The school itself does not reach the standard set by other schools near by.
Overall 1.5
Strong lack of student involvement and clubs, the least involved college in Ontario. Very disappointed with the lack of opportunities I can receive.
Overall 1.5
I went into a program promised 10- weeks of co-op with the virus the school had to cancel the co-op but is not trying to find a way for us to attend any co-op and is refusing to give out money back.
