Don't come to this college, for your own good, you'd just be deceived, none of the things they going to tell you at first are true, even the professor needs someone to explain to them what their teaching, it seems like whenever there was a professional who couldn't handle working in his sector, they get him to teach in La Cite.

The way it's set-up and their rules are for high school students, I never felt like I was in college. My main teacher in third year, which was also my coordinator, was the worst teacher I've ever had. We made complaints, but nothing was ever done. Plus they removed COOP, which in my industry (mechanical engineering) is crucial to have.

My program has a few good professors, but most are temps on their first year. The school is disorganized. The schedules generally change 2-3 times in the first month, sometimes later. The lesson plans are often not available to the students. Our placements, due to begin the 2nd week of class, began on week 6 because most students had nowhere to go.
