Every month we will be hosting a live podcast session to hear directly from our current students in over four faculties. The pros and cons of their student experience – it's all on the table.

 

Your students will get to learn about:

 

  • Areas to purchase food on or near campuses
  • Some of their favourite instructors
  • The best study spaces on each campus
  • Parking tips and tricks
  • Avoiding line ups and busy times (aka. Tim Horton's)

  • Getting involved with student activities such as gaming guilds, free BBQ first week of class, film festival, farmers market,
  • and so much more!

 

Sit back and relax, there's no lecture here.
