The great part is that teachers are very professional and gives you hand-on opportunities. Though the other help services are not the best.

All around not good
Overall 1.1
I have felt like nothing but a number, at the best of times at this school. I guarantee you my profs and advisors do not even know I exist. How? They have almost never responded to my emails asking for support and help. I wish I never started this degree. Ive lost complete faith in going forward in my field.

Practical nursing course is a mess especially Anatomy. The students voice are not heard. Majority of the teachers are there for a pay cheque. They do not want to teach and treat you like you are a inconvenience to them. The school overall has been unpleasant with YouTube teaching me more than the teachers.

your paying your tuition for your classes to be online, I paid a load just for my classes to be online and to have 2 classes in person
waste of my time honestly, I have not really learned much to be honest, it was just them reading off their screen or talking about outside of life I highly do not recommend unless you wanna just be bored.

The worst faculty advisors for nursing at gbc. Very unprofessional, inconsistent expectations, and unreasonable grading.
Overall 1.4
Very toxic environment and you can feel that once you step into the building. Instructors are pretty disorganized and lazy. When you ask for course outline they dont reply your email. The classroom are small and over crowded. Not recommend to their post grad certificates program and that will not land you a good job in toronto
Overall 1.4
Worst professors. Online learning is actually self learning. Classes are 40 minutes instead of 2 hours. Lots of homework that you have to solve yourself. Would not recommend!!!!

This is my first time ever as a student to experience campus wifi and blackboard learning system got hacked! No jokes. I', taking a postgrad program at Casa Loma, before I've attended another university in Canada, it was not perfect but definitely will not have issues like this.

As a domestic student, you wouldn’t enjoy this school at all. They only care about international students because of $$$
Overall 1.6
Expensive
No financial help
Programs are not well structured
They don´t worry about students learning
Professors teach one thing during the lecture, but assignments, projects, quizzes are based on something totally different.
They expect students to learn by themselves
Lack of organization (programs structure and content)
