Great school!
Overall 4.4
Great school. Visited it only as few times, as most education is done online. The online experience was generally good (academic), but the IT service was mediocre. More complicated than it needed to be, and slow to respond to requests for help/support.

Professors are horrible, Grounds are gorgeous, food is terrible. No social clubs. Basically you go for the gardens

Pro: The campus is really pretty. Decent online programs. Cons: Poor education quality. Very Expensive. No student support. No social life. Can't transfer out to any other college/university (that's how terrible their education is). On-campus programs are only to make money from intl. students. TLDR: Don't go here unless to visit campus or need PR.

The MAIIC program started out strong with great, consistent instruction but rapidly declined with the use of contract instructors. The university is grossly understaffed and uses "capacity challenges" as a reason to not provide support or guidance. Given tuition is 3-4 times higher than any other Canadian university, this pretty unforgiveable.
