Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Marketing - Batch of 2024

Friendly campus & multicultural college.
Tips: I prepared few items as a PDF before coming Kamloops. The resume should be according to the Canadian market. It will give students a head up to find part-time positions. - You can work as many hours as you want if you work on campus.
Likes (Safety): Close proximity to law enforcement offices. Panic/Alarm system near campus for emergencies. Public transportation till late night (1 Am in Summer/ 1130 PM winters). Campus services have been improved over the last 2 years with options like Kami Cabs, Ride and Yellow Cabs. The services can be pre-booked.
Dislikes (Internships): Students have the option for Co-op in which you will first pay for the course after that once they get the job offer they will be paying again. A platform will be provided to look for internships and specific jobs. -The co-op course teaches you about mock interviews, cover letters and resume building with job fairs all according to the Canadian market.

I personally like town life that is the reason I chose this college.
Tips: One should be prepared to adapt to everything. You are coming here to become successful. You have to bring tremendous change in your personality and lifestyle to achieve it. The weather is not that bad here as compared to other cities of Canada. Small town-like vibe with friendly neighbours.
Likes (Part time work): I rated Part time job 5 because I got the job within 10 days. Moreover, almost every International student I met in Kamloops has a job so that won't be an issue for anyone who is planning to come to TRU. Minimum wage in Kamloops (British Columbia ) is the highest among all the provinces in Canada.
Dislikes (Public transportation): We only have bus services as our primary mode of transportation. While it is cost effective it lacks reliability. Depending on the bus alone to get you to your destination in time is a bit challenging. To ensure punctuality it is advisable to take at least 30 minds of buffer. It gets worse in winter due to snowfall and blocked roads.

Serene surroundings, Home away from home.
Tips: If you love small towns you should choose this place.
Everyone knows everyone which sometimes is annoying. There is rarely anything to do.
However, it is a beautiful place.
Personally, I love big cities as it might give you more exposure but if you want peace and good scenic beauty Kamloops is a beautiful place.
Likes (Safety): Safety depends on the preferred location one stays.
According to me, it is safe as I stay in on-campus residence.
But if you are mature to take care of yourself you are good. I faced a safety issue with one of my roommates when I stayed off campus which made me change my accommodation to on campus.
Dislikes (Internships): There are campus job fairs.
There is very limited job opportunities in my domain.
So, I may consider relocating after my studies.
It has very less jobs in Human resources which is what I have observed so far. However if one is smart enough they can land a decent job.

Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Accounting - Batch of 2023

Good Accounting program of Thompson Rivers University
Tips: There are lot of co-op opportunities to look out for. Take part in different clubs and activities. Be active in looking for Post graduation work and start early. The faculty are very knowledgeable and helpful. All in all, I would say it was a very wonderful learning experience.
Likes (Student Life): There are various events for students to take part in as well as many opportunities to get involved with communities. The workload was manageable for me. There are certain events organized by the Indian community on festivals like Diwali and Holi. University had one event name I-days which was a lot of fun and a cultural mix where you are able to see culture of different places.
Dislikes (Indian Food): No Indian food is good in Canada. Most people cook for themselves in Canada. The current inflation has caused prices to skyrocket so eating out once a month is all that was possible for me. There is one good restaurant that I recommend and that would be Moxies.

Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Finance - Batch of 2021

A decent university with decent faculty and tons of activities and stuff to do on campus.
Tips: Lots of assignments and time management skills are required. Less rote learning and more understanding and developing social skills by participating in co-curricular activities. It's still a fairly new University and it would be unfair to compare it to the UBCs or the SFUs but TRU is growing and becoming stronger with each passing day.
Likes (Value for money): Compared to colleges and other universities across Canada, it gives you a decent university experience at a reasonable price. You can participate in co-op work terms, join clubs, volunteer, etc. All in all a well-rounded and holistic experience. Would recommend TRU.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Not very frequent public transit and all routes are not covered equally. Especially during winter buses can be delayed or outright cancelled. If you are staying far away from TRU it might be a challenge commuting without a vehicle. During the summers or non-snowy days, it is reasonably easy to commute.
