This institute needs to focus on education delivery. From my experience here so far it seems like all they are concerned about is money.

If you are reading this, please don't go to this university. Also, if you are in grade 12, please consider trying so you can avoid this university. I would recommend going to BCIT or even Douglas College. I hope this review helps with future students.
Overall 1.2
Have zero support or resources for students. They care more about money coming in rather than the students themselves. No study spaces. Security is always power tripping. They want more international students. Care more about the International students. Profs do not teach here, it's a self-taught school. Zero respect for students.
Overall 1.2
worst university of all time .
Overall 1.4
Unsafe environment. A commuter school with a low energy vibe. Lack of diversity, equity and inclusion. Lived experience very different from website and branding. Unfriendly.
Overall 1.4
Horrible university that makes sure you are aware that there is only focus on the business and not on your educational experience. Though it is more affordable than other universities, the corners cut are felt all throughout your degree as many of the staff members are rude, inexperienced and not a good choice at all.
Overall 1.6
Just an overall bad school. Mainly because of the teachers.
Overall 1.7
Money grab school. takes money for things that you don't even use and does not give refunds. Little to no help in terms of front desk workers as I have been told to just go to the website. Dental plan is a chore to even try and use.
Overall 1.8
Not the best school.
Overall 1.8
BSN program staff are discriminating, disrespectful, dont care about students, mental health or wellness. Some choose favs & students to pick on/target. If they want you out not matter how good you are they will make a way to get you out. They are non supportive & UFV in general if self taught. Pay full tuition to teach yourself, watch pp, read.
