Durham College was a great experience! I love my program and I liked all of my teachers!
Overall 4.1
I honestly felt that the social atmosphere at the residence was non-existent. It didn't help that the RA put Zero effort into organizing any activities, and seemed to only be involved in student life when she was kicking out a guest. My only gripes about the school were the strict protocols in my first year, but other than that it has been great.

The ECE program here sucks, the profs don't explain assignments properly and they constantly tell you "refer to assignment package". The community services offices people are useless they put you in a circle but then hold you accountable for their mistakes! DO NOT GO HERE FOR ECE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THE PROFS DONT KNOW ANYTHING NOR CONTACT PARTIME

School of Business, IT and Management is a mess!!! Worst admin.
Overall 1.1
Boring, faulty S.A, poor methods of keeping students informed about things on campus. No one really knows about Durham College, even though it's right next to UOIT, which no one's heard of either.
Overall 1.2
This is the worst college in the GTA. Run by an understaffed and overpaid administration that care not one bit about student success. Cafeteria food is outrageously priced and internet connection frequently drops for no reason. Can't believe this college did not close during covid. Only saving grace are faculty that go above and beyond the call.

worst school I've been to, no outlets anywhere on the whitby campus, GNEDs are a joke, their approach to medical cannabis on the campus is appalling, the food is over priced hot trash, the school is great at taking the steps to say they try to make things better while investing non of your tuition back into your program but into other useless prog.

Honestly all the professors are so rude.
