Opportunities are there, depends on you how you want to utilize.

Tips: Overall it's good. If you really want to study you have opportunities, if you're taking a course just for the sake of visa - coConestogas is way easier compared to other colleges. Still faculty and course structure vary by course to course mine was easy, 60% of assignments and 55% were passing so you can imagine!

Likes (Safety): It is good, you won't ever feel like something is missing in the safety part. Security is available 24 by 7 and everything is just as it needs to be. Other than that CSR provides great s...

Things are a bit hard to manage. Part-time is hard to get.

Tips: The transition coming to Conestoga college back in 2017 wasn't difficult. I did experience homesickness but I had good housemates. The college has got good facilities. International students are still coming to the college and Conestoga College is well known now compared to before, when I came very few students knew about Conestoga college. Please note that finding part time jobs in Kitchener and Cambridge was relatively easier in 2017 ( when I worked part time) than now. Current students can be...

Did not enjoy my time spent at college.

Tips: Not very satisfied with the college. I felt that it could have been more engaging and the topics could have been described and explained better. Most staff were employed in 2 or more jobs and they value their time over the students. But this can't be said for all staff as some staff really did make the effort to make students understand the topics.

Likes (Safety): The campus is quite safe for students as there are always security around the facility. And since the campus is quite secluded and is away from the m...

A fulfilling learning journey

Tips: At Conestoga college, I found a welcoming environment that helped me adjust to a new culture. While there was a bit of a cultural shift, the college support services made it easier. I didn't get any scholarships personally, but the college offers them based on merit. Overall, I'm happy with my college experience, it offers a great education and I like the opportunities in Canada for personal and professional growth.

Conestoga college offers a journey to excellence.

The allowance for scholarship can vary from a few hundred dollars to a more substantial amount, depending on the eligibility criteria. I am satisfied with the college.

Dynamic Living at Conestoga

Tips: The transition has helped me to become more independent and given me a chance to explore options and learn more about different cultures and Canadian work. It was very difficult in the beginning due to no available jobs but things started becoming stable once I got a job and that helped me to build my confidence and survive in this beautiful place.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is available for downtown kitchener from Conestoga Mall and Fairway Starion. It is affordable and convenient but should be more ...

I felt the education was no different than India.

Tips: Definitely there's a cultural shift and as an Indian, it was easy to adapt because we usually follow most of the rules but the system here is very liberal. I didn't take a scholarship. In terms of satisfaction, I would rate my college 7 out of 10, course 8 out of 10 and country 8 out of 10.

Likes (Public transportation): Student housing is available close to the campus. So, we do not need to rely on transportation. Also, we have 24*7 public transit for most of the places. The campus I studied is close to all amenities. There a...

Do your own work and respect academic integrity.

Tips: This college has a good name in the market and provides a good education. However, they have a zero acceptance policy for copied work and even take action towards students who cheat on their assignments and in their exams. Overall this college provides good infrastructure, classes and atmosphere to study.

Likes (Safety): In the city, we feel safe and can leave our houses at any time. No matter if it is midnight. We sometimes find some homeless people but even if we do, they are of no harm they don't say anythi...

Amazing course curriculum.

Tips: I have completed this degree online because of covid. My course curriculum was quite impressive and well-structured. As per my friend's opinion here food & tiffin services are provided to students by many active restaurants. Which usually cost $15-$25 per tiffin. And if you are living in sharing then living expenses cost $500-$700.

College once strived for excellence but now focus only on business.

Tips: Students should certainly look for any rumours about the college. Conestoga was good when I joined but now the flow of students has increased and employers think twice about hiring someone because of the rumors that students only work and pass with an average grade. Spending more money and getting admission into universities rather than colleges is better. The country is full of immigrants but it is good and safe to stay with Indians.

Quality of faculty is amazing.

Tips: The students should know that they are going to have the best two years of their lives. They will have to work hard and do everything on their own. They can’t depend on their professors for everything but in the end it will be all worth it. After coming here I have become more independent and have learned to do everything on my own which I think whoever is planning to come here, especially from India needs to learn eventually.
