Amazing nursing program, while some courses could be updated it was overall a great program. Every manager I've talked to says that they prefer RRC grads because of the practical training we get. Our labs may seem strict and over the top but hey the results speak for themselves when everyone from RRC passes the NCLEX.

Most underrated school ever, like Blake Wheeler in the NHL, overlooked you'd rather have the UOFM or UOFW but in reality RRC is unreal

Red River College planned to change a program but did not inform students entering that changes may drastically affect them, their education and their bank accounts, they have made no accommodations for the affected students who will now have a useless certificate unless they pay more to enter the new program and start from the beginning disgusting

The buildings are old, the garbage outside the campus has never been cleaned up, and homeless people sleep outside the gate. I feel unsafe going to school every day, drug addicts, marijuana smokers, homeless people, and beggars are wandering around the school.

I find that the professors put in minimal effort they just show and say here figure it out. A few profs in the business admin program are attendance heavy, when they just babble in lectures post slides on learn. Group work oriented which is awful when no one contributes. I pay for my education to do my thing not help little Andy get a mark.

Red River college has become another diploma mill for international students.Instructors do not have any background or knowledge on the courses that are teaching.Old laboratory equipment they don’t have enough of.Don’t waste your money on the SLT program.In the last ‘co op’ term they charge you tuition fees for you to find your own job

Came here for the CET program. It was a good program until the pandemic hit, after the pandemic, not so much. Terrible online delivery, many of the teachers seem to be phoning it in, and the course materials tend to be a jumbled mess. I was happy to further my education, but now I wish I had gone to a different school. I don't recommend this place

Complete money grab for the hospitality/tourism program. Students are treated like children, not adults. Locked out of classrooms for being a minute. Deducted percentages for eating in class when you have no lunch break, and over all not worth it for the time invest and opportunists available post grad. Maybe useful for international students.

Wouldn't recommend this school for anyone looking to go into Hospitality. It's a complete rip off for what you end up receiving in the end. They constantly over 2 years say one thing and do another. There is no consistency it's just a clown show -the instructors don't know what they're doing half the time and are reading STRAIGHT from a textbook.

When I started my program before the pandemic hit, it was a great experience. After the pandemic, not so much. I was enrolled in the CET program and the way the admins adjusted the program to deliver everything online was at first was great, in the following year it was so difficult that I spent every hour of my final year thinking about quitting.
