Is there any campus in Toronto where it isn’t infested & infected with these batshit-crazy women & feminotzis?
I know that Toronto women suck; they are man-hating animals who hate everyone, but what can a foreign student do to pass another year and earn a degree?
Toronto women have issues and they are c-u-n-t-s who cause trouble with everyone they see, but I only enroll in online classes which alleviates the man-hating feminotzi women in Toronto.
Toronto women will make you turn a homosexual if you’re that desperate to fit in Canadian society. Toronto women suck that if I ever saw a Toronto feminotzi woman panhandle on the pavement in -40C weather asking for help, I’d rather laugh at her and let her freeze there, even if the freeze causes her to suffer hypothermia or serious frostbite . I wouldn’t even piss on her if she was on fire. Toronto feminotzi women are not human; they are worse than carnivorous wild animals. Toronto women are a disease and a cancer. Caucasian Toronto women are far worse. They are flockin racist, man-hater feminist who thinks the world is their oasis. Toronto women suck that they are cancer.
These white females on campus dress like a wh*re, including the female professors, and then they get angry and hostile if they even look at me. What is this? Racial segregation and contempt of non-Canadians?
I’m an African person citizen of Australia, and I never seen so much rape hysteria as I’ve witnessed in college campuses in Toronto. I’ve heard that the major universities are even worse with this feminize racist rape hysteria.
If I’m ever falsely accused of rape or any sex crime by these white women, I will take legal action for racial discrimination.
Spend your money somewhere else. Centennial College is another Marxist and feminist chain from the downtown feminist organizations.
I just finished the second year of a 3 year biotechnology program. I feel like I’m getting screwed over by this school every time I turn around.
They didn’t tell me in any way that the college communications course I took in the first semester was a prerequisite for a co-op class (which wasn’t listed in the list of courses on the page for the biotechnology program, so I had no idea it was even a class I had to take), and that you had to get a minimum grade. I passed the class, but I didn’t get the minimum grade (I had to spend 8 hours a day travelling to and from school because it’s so hard to get a decent affordable apartment in Toronto, so I didn’t have time for all of my assignments. I didn’t see college communications as very important to a biotechnology program, so I put that class low on my list of priorities so I could finish my other assignments first).
I had to take the class a second time. The second time, I was given an F on an assignment I gave a printed copy of to the teacher, and he said I didn’t have to hand it in online, then gave me an F for not handing it in online. I also wasn’t told when the exam was going to be (I missed the class where he told everyone), and it wasn’t posted on e.centennial. I tried to appeal my grade, but the coordinator of the English department just kept making excuses for the teacher, (like when I complained about not being told when the exam was, he said “it’s a moot point because everyone else was there.”) and wouldn’t do anything about it.
Right now, I’m trying to get a grade for an assignment I handed in. I currently have no grade, and have been contacting my teachers (lecture teacher and lab teacher), trying to get somebody to do something about it, but nothing has been done so far.
They have a no scent policy at Morningside campus, but they won’t enforce it. I have asthma, and I keep having asthma attacks because of how much perfume some people wear, and people spray it in the washrooms and hallways, and use scented products in class. I went as far as contacting the president of the college, and she won’t do anything about it either. She says that it’s “voluntary” for people to abide by it or not.
The school is 90% Indian, and none of them seem to know how to use deodorant, so be prepared to smell B.O. all day long. Also be prepared to be pushed, shoved, and have people cough in your face, because they don’t have any manners, either.
The school rips off international students, as well. An international student told me that she has to pay about $1500 per class, while for domestic students, it’s only around $350 per class.
On the subject of international students, one of the international students told me that the college has representatives that go to other countries and tell people that if they come to Centennial college, they’ll help them get citizenship. I think that’s the only reason a lot of them are there, because they half-ass all of their work.
Some of the teachers are good, but they are few and far between. A lot of them don’t speak English very well, and have thick accents, and it’s really hard to understand what they’re saying. A lot of them mispronounce common words, which makes it even harder to understand what they’re saying. There are times when the only reason I have any clue what the teacher is talking about is because the lecture notes are on the projection screen.
One of my teachers copied a test from the internet that had questions on it that weren’t in our lecture notes or textbook. Because of that, a lot of people failed. Then she had the nerve to tell us that we needed to study harder.
In just about every class, you’ll have people talking during class and distracting students and the teacher. Be prepared for the teacher to have to stop the lecture and tell them to stop talking during class at least 5 times during a 1 hour lecture.
If you’re an adult, it will get annoying really quickly, being treated like an irresponsible child when it comes to attendance, and handing in assignments. The school is full of irresponsible children who would cheat and coast their way through the course if they could get away with it, so as a result, everyone gets treated like an irresponsible child.
The morningside campus has only about 1/3 of the study space that it needs for all of the students who are there. There is never a place to sit down and do work, so people have to resort to looking for empty classrooms to go to. The quiet study area is always full. And a lot of people leave their books on the desk and walk away, taking up a seat that someone could be using to do actual work.
I am seriously considering not going back, and transferring my credits to another school. I feel like I keep getting screwed over, and I’m getting fed up.
pls tell me abt this collage,its faculty and about atmosphere of this collage.
pls tell me all negetive and positive points of this collage.
as soon as possible
I Don’t blame the college. I blame the students. I’ve been here for about 4 weeks. Loads of people wonder the internet for information about their program… their school of choice. Look no further if you plan to go to Centennial. As a black man, I know it’s hard to trust people of a different race, for they tend to talk and disgrade us behind our backs. The N word is what turned a exciting dream to a horrible reality. There was this white girl in my class, and strictly on friends bias, I agreed to help her on her homework. The first day was great, for she scored a B+ on her Math test, and I got better in Math, for when I teach I tend to understand more. Couple days passed, but here she comes again with a request for help. This time it was English. We went to the library, it’s quite big, but it still abides by the rules of quietness. No more than 30 minutes, her friends arrive. I’m a study guy; I’m not really into getting distracted while I’m doing work. Anyways, the friend threw it out their like I was deaf… “You know this n****r?”…. Wow, I just packed my s**t and left. The racial thing, I could have swore it was bullshit last week, but now it’s a different story. Well, class starts tomorrow and what happens, happens. I know there is more people who don’t care than those who do, but for me I will never lower my guard for any race again. To those “white people” I don’t hate you in any form, but in all honest you gave me a reason, I witnessed with my own eyes, not to trust you. Good Luck in College! Centennial is a great school just keep your guard up!
Even if it is not valid a gate keeper will receive backing from faculty members therefore it seems more of a teachers union then actually giving students a good experience. Some instructors are graded others are not, this happened twice in the year- which shows a form of unfair, bias rating of instructors by students and since the school is funded by ministry of education- this should not take place.
Student association are a waste of money for students as well as ministry of education, they sit there enjoying free money, they do not provide real results or help for students especially when regarding faculty members who are racist or prejudice or bias towards some students. They only provide advice but you can go to the dean or the program operation manager of your campus not CCSAI -who again enjoy facilities, take out cameras and shoot their own projects including instructors and students who have already graduated who use equipment for the summer which is again wrong because they are meant for students enrolled and student use as well as practice which students cannot do during school year because of the enormous work load they are given and then sit four months with out training (May-August) There is not a department that overseas who takes out the equipment because they play favors with each other and I have evidence of this kind of behavior which might just show up YouTube.
I never imagined I would do videos on fellow class mates who are bullies, openly making fun of my age in-front of instructors and making funny accents which they associate to my name despite my nationality all while sitting in a room full of christian Asians and those students do not do the same to them . A faculty member by the name of Gillian would always tell me she’s busy when trying to get her advice or help in taking out equipment but she snapped at me, literally yelled and cut my sentence short all while having long conversation about hockey with other students, and there is nothing I can do about it but I felt 18 years old all over again after 911 – and I if happens to a young student he or she would be devastated but I will not tolerate this behavior and will pursue the proper channels to remove these kinds of people in our educational society who have the power and privilege over others and abuse that kind of power -ministry of education has not provided any form of help in this regard, despite countless cries for help.
Moreover, this campus is the most poorly funded, the cheapest, the lowest in quality of education and training as well as placement when comparing to reversion, George brown, humber and york- for media communications especially broadcasting television or film- all of whom refuse applicants without any justification here in Toronto, I wish I had gone to Montreal to study instead.
Few things can improve education quality in centennial college:
1. Teacher are not allowed to check their papers.
2. student can make complain and if it is reasonable, it has to be implement instantly.
3. There has to be a teacher grading system after student will get final grade marks and grading will directly goes to the dean.
It’s too late for me now but I regret going to Centennial. Here is why:
TEACHERS: Half of my teachers couldn’t speak English well at all. I’m a native English speaker and could barely understand some of them. If you are an International student you may have extra language difficulty because of this issue.
You know how annoying it is when you are trying to listen to the teacher and students are talking in class? Most teachers would ignore these students and allow them to disrupt the class. It will be your duty to tell the disruptive students because some of the teachers will not bother to stop them from talking.
Many teachers will also overlook cheating during tests. If you want to cheat that’s your business but allowing people to speak quietly in non-English languages during tests is unacceptable. It was so obvious so many times that people were whispering solutions to questions in Mandarin, Hindi, etc.
CAMPUS: Both campuses are awful. Ashtonbee is the worst; both resemble high schools. You will not feel like an adult when at school. There are no hangers on the bathroom doors so if you have a winter jacket with you I guess you are expected to throw it on the dirty bathroom floor? The bathrooms are f*cking disgusting! No one flushes the toilets or washes their hands. People squat on top of the toilet seats (instead of sitting on them) which cracks them regularly and makes the floor a disgusting mess.
FOOD: I feel really bad for people who have meal/food plans for living in residence! At Progress you get to choose from: Subway, Tim Horton’s and one of two sh*tty cafeterias. You will want to eat outside the campus often, if you can handle traveling. The Progress campus is somewhat isolated. Ashtonbee is even worse as it is much smaller.
Mechanical Engineering Technology program: If you go on the Open House tour before you begin the program you will be shown the CNC lab and the rapid-prototyping machine room. Take a good look because this is the last time you will ever see them! The tour guides and Mechanical Engineering staff make it seem as though you will spend so much time using this awesome equipment: it’s a lie. They are tricking you into making the program seem so special. All you will use is the Mechanical Engineering lab (room B1-11) which is full of outdated and mostly broken equipment. I know this because I worked in the Mech Eng lab as a co-op student! There is no money spent on this program and the lab is the very last to receive any funding. This doesn’t make any sense as this is a technical program at a college and you should be doing lots of lab work! All of the money is diverted from the Mech Eng program and spent on Robotics and Automation.
If you have already accepted admission to this school then I wish you the best! Remember that school is not forever and study hard.
Recommendation: Research your program and see if it will help you get a job that is in demand. The joint, science and engineering programs are a good way to get more specialized marketable skills and qualifications if you already have an undergraduate and have a specific job in mind such as paramedic or MICROBIOLOGIST. If you are thinking of something related to law, journalism, computing, accounting or business, then an undergraduate degree (first) may be a better choice. Much like University, bird courses like creative writing or general arts are a waste of your time.
Professors are racists and if you are white you get the privilags and the professor simply likes you and talk to you as if she was your second cousine or moms old friend.
Overall, Progress = s**t s**t s**t and + + +, and morningside = too freakin hard
Curriculum – Your mileage may vary. If you have an Undergraduate degree you can get an exemption from the general education courses. I do not find the courses challenging because I have completed a lot of math, physics and engineering which the material is based on, but the material is geared towards practical knowledge (how to use an instrument), while University is theoretical (why the instrument works, what you can infer from observation). I have spoken with mature students, students from high school and international students and many find the material challenging, especially those with weak math skills. Like University, you must be prepared to seek out help from your professors, other students, tutors that can be booked at the library and you can form study groups. The internet is also a good resource.
Professors – No different from University. Some are experienced, intelligent and enthusiastic, others are boring, incompetent or just inexperienced. BUT, since the campus is smaller, it is easier to speak up. If you are coming straight from high school, this may be a shock, but you are now an adult, you will not always get perfect teachers, co-workers, relatives, neighbors, etc. in life. If a teacher is doing a very poor job, note the times, dates and issues, then be prepared to explain to the department why you do not think you are getting your money’s worth. Several students kept notes and complained to the department regarding a professor. It was too late in the semester to get him replaced, but he was reprimanded and made a bit more effort to explain the material and post lecture notes on time.
Extracurricular Activities – Adequate. The student association does make an effort to hold decent events, though I am more focused on classes. There are some discounted day trips and events within the community such as charity work are generally better for networking opportunities than anything specifically labelled so.
Housing and Amenities – Adequate. Most people treat this as a commuter campus, I don’t know anyone who lives in residence. Cafeteria food is always fresh and ingredients are of fair to good quality, but selection is very limited. There is a gym with clean and good quality equipment, but it is very small, classes are limited and so are hours. Washrooms are always clean, but toilet paper gets used up quickly.
Administration – Not so good. You must take a number and be prepared for a wait to speak to anyone at enrollment, even if there is barely anyone else waiting. There are no extended hours at the start of the semester, so dealing with OSAP issues can be a bit of a nailbiting experience. Make sure you have all your documents ready to present right away, or you may have to come back another day. There is no centralized system of tracking all you information. I was granted an exemption from a course and told to take my documents to enrollment to drop the class, the academic department was unable to simply do it straight from their computer, which made no sense to me.
The Good – The campus is very diverse and you can meet a lot of interesting people. There are older students, younger students and people from abroad. Class sizes are smaller, so it is easier to speak to your professor and get to know them. The choices for extracurriculars and amenities are not as wide ranging as you would find at a more centralized college or big prestigious University, but generally quality is favored over quantity.
The Bad – Facilities are barely adequate, they are often pushed to capacity. Individual study spaces are always filled and lockers get sold out quickly. The campus computers are slow and buggy, the network needs to be upgraded, they just seem to be doing piecemeal maintenance and patch jobs at the moment.
The Ugly – Be prepared to deal with a frustrating wait to get into the administration and enrollment offices. There are no extended hours at the start of the semester. You may have to take your own documents from one department to another by yourself.
Misc – You may find the courses easy or difficult, depending on the course you take, the professor, your prior knowledge and experience. Remember that school is what you make of it. Come to class prepared, pay attention, have the right attitude. If you don’t like how something is being done, speak up and do something about it. If you understand the material, try to help others who are having difficulty, get involved with activities that help the community, it will come back to you, I promise.
Recommendation: Research your program and see if it will help you get a job that is in demand. The joint, science and engineering programs are a good way to get more specialized marketable skills and qualifications if you already have an undergraduate and have a specific job in mind such as paramedic or massage therapist. If you are thinking of something related to law, journalism, computing, accounting or business, then an undergraduate degree (first) may be a better choice. Much like University, bird courses like creative writing or general arts are a waste of your time.
Alittle about myself: I graduated from centennial college 2008 from the biotechnology program. I loved it! But I only did the two year diploma because I was excited to start working in the field. I don’t like being in school really.
I wish I didn’t leave so early because now im back after 4 years. *yay -_-;;* I wasn’t able to land a job. Im now taking the Medical Laboratory Technician program. Is there anything I should know about this program? What were your experiences with the teachers and course material? Did you find the program difficult or easy? and was it easy to get a placement/job after?
See I wish I saw this forum before. Sometimes I feel like im wasting my time with this course. Because I’m thinking it will be like the biotechnology program all over again.
Thanks for reading.
HI I AM SERIOUSLY COMTEMPLATING APPLYF OR THIS PROGRAM…DO YOU KNOW IF THE PROGRAM IS GEARED FOR PERSON LIKE ME WHO IS WORKING. DO THEY OFFER EVENING OR NIGHT COURSES. I WILL LIKE TO STILL CONTINUE WORKING WHILE DOING THIS COURSE HOWEVER IF NO EVENING OR NIGHT COURSES ARE AVAILABLE I MAY HAVE TO CONSIDER TAKING A YEAR OFF FROM WORK.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE
i am about to take admission in centennial college for marketing management course can any one tell me about the college..is it worth to spend time or money??
There are a lot of international students at Centennial, but I don’t mind them, and I find many of them quite friendly if given half a chance. I do mind all the international profs however… some of them think they can teach like they taught back home where the student is subservient to the prof. Some of them have weak English, and often cannot understand the nuances of the textbook.
That said, the administration is incompetent, the staff couldn’t care less, the faculty as a general rule are rude, disorganised, lazy (who’s ever heard of watching youtube videos in accounting and math classes?), and teach to the bare minimum. Evaluation methods can be arbitrary and unfair, but the general trend is to water down standards and push people through… things are much easier and less rigorous than they should be. The school also as a general rule has an obsession with cheating, meaning they talk a good game about it, but seem to turn a blind eye to it.
At least two days a week I experience what I call Centennial College blues, where the low standards, lack of mental stimulation, and ridiculous profs wear me down. I find that anyone who is also getting straight a’s struggles with it. I would leave but I’ve invested too much money and time and would rather finish than start somewhere else again from scratch. The worst of George Brown profs would be the best of Centennial College ones. Other days I’m ok with the place as I find the students real friendly and not stand-offish, and the schedule is flexible, and I have no worries whatsoever about not being up to the challenge of finishing the program because quite frankly there is no academic challenge whatsoever.
As to whether people should go to this school or not. That depends on your goals.
If a) You are really serious about the program you are doing, you can go here, but you better be prepped to do a lot of extra reading, and be your own teacher, as the classroom standards are laughable (like the first semester I had to take these two ridic. courses- COMM170- College English 2, and BUSN110 – Strategies for Business Success- i got A’s in both of them, while drunk every class- and yeah the classes were that terrible that drinking during them was the only way I could cope).
If b) You are just here cuz you need a diploma, and you don’t really care about the program, and you just want to get your parents off your back, then congratulations!! This is the school for you. The standards for everything are low, low, low… skim through the book a few times, and show up for class every now and then (show up stoned- it’s been done!) and do the projects and assignments that you feel like doing, and I can guarantee a C. Like this a riff-raff school!
I am very pleased to know your reviews about Centennial College and also got an unconditional offer letter for the Graphic design course which is going to start on 4th Sep 2012.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything regarding Graphic Designing in this blog so Can I please kindly request someone to highlight their experience in this field and how well is the Graphic Designing in Centennial. The last date for Tution Fee deposit is 6th July.
So please let me know ASAP ,
My Rating doesn’t mean anything as the system was not allowing me to move forward so I have to give 3 points in review.
Many thanks.
i want to take admission in electro mechanical engineering technician robotics and automation howz that program in this collage and is this collage not good for engineering
reply fast
I just got a Unconditional Letter from Centennial college for ( Global Business Management ) , should i opt for the same or not.
Any suggestions.
But still if Centennial’s facilities are truly the same as any other college in Ontario, then bro you should expose all other colleges in Ontario that have screwed us up as Canadians, even some of our Universities so get the word out, maybe our govt.. will take notice of these reyerson, humber, sheridan type a-holes, they are “public” institutions and we are subjected to them in Ontario who keep certain knowledge reserved for certain kinds of people in our society, so why go to a private in$titution, Quebec, or to the states to learn?
I suggest if you are currently enrolled at Centennial you should fix your instructors accordingly and demand the teaching of the newest equipement along with newest techniques used in the industry so you must ask them, matter of fact copy the syllabus or the curriculum of a hot shot university or a college in Ontario for media communications, broadcasting etc, and ask those at Centennial how to apply it, if they don’t know then we will never know and we will never be able to compete with students from other colleges, that’s how I feel, so long as they have the same equipment, we can kick other colleges, universities and private school’s as# in Ontario.
In Central Ontario there are only 5 out of 7 public Colleges on the OCAS website for Broadcasting (for those not interested in moving to Kitchener, Thunder bay, Belleville and other hick like/prejudice locations of Ontario) Our Canadian Govt’ has left us with Colleges such as Humber (Etobicoke area with many spanish immigrants) Seneca (Toronto area, who only accept those who are already enrolled in other programs offered at their college for Broadcasting yet will happily take your $95 for testing), Sheridan (Mississauga, Brampton area) all of them seem full of themselves, who brag about being overwhelmed by the number of applicants as they devour their international student fee yearly income yet allow their admission representatives to lure you in as domestic applicants via OCAS, with no help from their enrollment advisors and program coordinators who are rude, arrogant and proud of themselves, as if they don’t even want some of us in there programs.
I was born in Toronto, Ontario, yet they treat me like an immigrant, I have lived all over the world, mostly in the states but regardless of where I have lived, I always felt if educators in society are reaching out to the “people” and learning does not constitute for money then they are serving their true purpose as educators and if you rather waste years not learning, trying to be accepted by those colleges mentioned above, allowing mental enslavement by accepting their prejudice personalities as faculty members, dean etc. then by all means keep applying year after year bro, I’m gona enjoy my time at Centennial regardless of your short coming as a student, I will utilize facilites to enhance my skills I learned in the states, produce something great and if possible learn something new but overall it is to be certified to get paid not fully to be placed, that’s on you jack!
Has anyone here taken the Workplace Wellness and Health Promotion program offered at the Morningside Campus?
I just called with much dread after 2 years, and the same story. Option 1 is not even set up for voice messaging, and I have told the switch board of this….to the operator.
How can a college like this behave this way?? The head of the departments …NEVER will return your message.
USELESS COLLEGE..
I got an admit for this september intake.
thank u
Rule#1 pray before you enter this college doors
Rule#2 This college is game and its a pricy game you have to pay. Your job is to stay in the game and winning without them having to count you out.
Rule#3 Heres is how to stay in the game. Drop the class once you fail your first test, once you realize you have an idiot for a teacher, remember the game is to stay in the program without them having to throw you out before graduation.
Rule#4 make sure you read over their Student Hand Book Policy-its a documented trap for students
Rule#5 Go to Theory tutorials-can be helpful
Rule#6 Eat heathly,exercise,get some sleep-this game will stress you out because they want you to fail take your money and get you out
Rule#7Listen for key words such as this is important, note this, or the occaisional dry cough-used by certain teacher. Watch out for the Mary Poppins type teacher(the idiot)that may indicate the importance of everything in their lecture or using bolding in their lecture guides and not having any of these things they lecture about in test or exams.
Rule#8 The distractor classes-Field class. These classes only goal are to distract you from not having sufficient time to study the important classes-Patheo/Theory.
Rule#9 start your portfolio early get it out of the way-another distractor
Rule#10 pray,and keep on praying until you win this game and even then dont stop praying.
Good luck! I wasn’t so lucky, I didn’t have someone mentoring me about this school and their nasty game and I fell in their trap. So I wanted to share some of the rules to staying in this college and successfully graduating from this program whether it takes you 2yrs or 4yrs. Once again good luck and study the time is fast and short
Also Humber is offering a similar program and i am confused which college to choose.
Any feedback on the college/program/faculty is appreciated!!
My previous comment will probably get removed as well
Oh well, I guess you all will never know unless you actually attend the college and experience it yourselves!
I don’t feel it is true what some have said about taking money from foreign students. One of my classmates is from Korea and the teachers are always making sure she understands what is being taught. Also about the tutors that is totally not true either! One of my classmates is a older Indian male who had outstanding marks in math and he is now going to be tutoring for Mathematics 2 at the Ashtonbee campus. As for their library I was able to find what ever it was I was looking for, never had a problem.
*****My experience is based on Ashtonbee campus only******
good or bad idea?
The company that is North America is going out of business, and the fire sale has begun. Thus the immigration and influx of international students who of course are oblivious to the agenda they are merely pawns in commences. It is not fair to either us or them. Centennial could not have gotten away with this kind of ill treatment 20 years ago when the student body was largely Canadian, and lets be honest, White. This is no way a slight to our international brethren who have arrived here looking the same things we want out of life. However, their presence here is only welcomed by the College because they perhaps through no fault of their own, are easier pawns to control and manipulate. Is it any wonder, their tuition fees are double that of ours.
Ontario colleges are in the business of education solely for profit and the experiences as discussed by several students on this page, including yours truly will attest to this. I will graduate this May but only because I simply could not afford to fail. While Centennial College certainly can continue to afford to fail their students, as the cash cow (The Internationals) continue to line their pockets. As far as I am concerned, this institution is nothing more than an Above Board Crime Syndicate/racket.
I m taking a admission in BUSINESS ACCOUNTING DIPLOMA COURSE in CENTENNIAL COLLEGE. Please tell me whats the job oppertunity of doing this course from this college
Career Action plan – are they seriuos do we really need this as a subject which can be taught in just an 1hr or so or at max in just half day.
Rather than these subjects college should add subjects which will give accounting students some credit towards CGA/CA/CMA or anyother designation.
I am repenting on my decision now.
Usually classes are filled and not enough professors. For example reason, I had two saturday courses which of courses I decided never to take them! Ridiculous! And there was no other time options!
I’ve been here for 3 years studying their Business Adminstration Program. I have a lot to say so I’ll just make it more simply by categorizing them.
ACADEMIC AND COURSES: Some courses you have to take are seriously wasting money and useless! There’s this course called “Strategies for Business Sucess!” You learn how to read a book, skim through books, how to take a test, how to stay healthy, how to study… and alll those things that probably my niece in grade 5 could Ace it! There’s around one course in the each semester where it’s stupid and useless like that! The saddest part was, why am I even taking it? It’s because it’s mandatory for graduation! However, usually this class is less than half filled! Other courses like Career in Action, Job Skills, Mircrosoft Word…. seriously………………………
Another thing is please read the course material carefully, the change the name of the course but it’s actually exactly the same thing and it could be a course that you’ve already had taken! There are also really similiar courses that it’s basically the same thing or could be combined into one course! It’s ripping money off students! For example, “Developing a Small Business Plan and “Industry Planning”… I took both and it’s the same thing!
PROFESSOR: Some of them are really nice,kind,knowledgeable, has teaching skills and some of them are rude, mean, not knowledgeable, terrible English (you can’t understand them), no teaching skills, and irresponsible like cancelling class without notice! Somes students only has one course a day and when they live in Brampton it’s seriously a pain in the butt! Some professors are not knowledgeable but they mark easy and give high grades! Some let students cheat during exams and they don’t teach properly and don’t follow the rubric or course materials! However, students usually don’t say anything about them because they get high marks!
Some professors don’t make sense.
I remember I was taking the a marketing course and due to because we handed in our group project 5 minutes late, we automatically got a zero for our project. He did not clarify or mention about that in class so it was seriously not fair to students! We talked to him and he kept on claiming that, “If I was the CEO or a company and you handed in your proposal late what do you think will happen?”! I was really angry after that because he really got me into fighting it back! First of all, this ain’t no office or you’re no CEO! We’re all just learning and deserves a second chance! If you want to be strict, you have to do your homework as well, you never clairfy it in class ever! So, can a CEO fire someone without a reason? You’re telling me you can but I’m telling you it’s not ethical and I don’t want to be part of the company if it’s true! Talking about the business perspective, a professor, is providing a service at a college! With the attitude and all that, you failed! I dropped his course and so did 4 other people in my group and as well as around 1/4 of the class!
CAFETERIA: The food there is simply not good! I rather go to the nearby restaurants!
Overall, this school doesn’t seem to be serious! Everything is easily through and you just don’t learn much! The only reason I wanted to go there was because I heard how easy it was and I wanted a high GPA to get into a University!

I am going to take admission for Software Engineering Technician program in canada. What are the chances of getting jobs after studying it from centinneal college?
Second there were the security guards that treated you like dirt. I was also irritated that my whole class was treated terribly because two of my classmates and goofed off in front of the Dean. They knew who those two students were, why not punish them instead of everyone else? I hated this school. It felt more like a bloody prison then a college. Only come here if you have no other option, like a life or death situation. Terrible school, absolutely terrible.
I would like to take admission in Esthetic course in Centennial college. Please guide me that how’s the faculty of this course. Should I take admission in this college or not?
Please recommend some other colleges if you have any idea…
If you’re thinking of taking the Project Management Certificate, be prepared to have little help from an instructor (nameless for the time being) who teaches tools and applications and cost estimation. If you have a question, you will either be ridiculed for asking or dismissed promptly. If you need to meet for a few minutes after class to discuss an issue, the response will be “I am not allowed to help you after class; it is the CENTENNIAL COLLEGE POLICY.” It’s funny how these instructors are making of $100,000 a year, and yet it’s so inconvenient to do what they’re supposed to do–teach.
I do not recommend this college.
I do also agree there is a lot of Indian people and people who barely speak English at the progress campus. Sometimes I feel teachers have to dumb down content to accomodate to non-native English speakers so in the end, your education suffers. Not worth it…. if I can turn back time I would undo it all
I also agree with the others who mentioned the disorganization, it’s unbelievable.
Most of the instructors at Centennial College cannot teach. Some of them don’t even know what they’re doing. I got this professor in my first semester where I learned nothing. All he did was gave us the answers to the mid-term exams and therefore, basically everyone got at least 90%. Acing a course at Centennial College does not mean that person knows the course material very well, it really depends on the professor. Sometimes, you get a really strict professor and you’ll know because no one is in that professor’s class or students drop out from that course. There are a couple of good teachers in this school but not a lot.
Some courses that we had to take was very useful. For example, we had to learn how to use whyhire.me which was totally time wasting. We do not need lectures on post blogs and defining our personality style. Waste of money!
Classes are also limited. Most of the time when we register for courses, they end up to be full. So the students just take night courses and I really do not recommend it. It is because exams schedule does not apply to night courses therefore, you’ll be having exams before the exam week!
Not to mention that groups work/team work is a disaster at Centennial College. Usually students don’t want to contribute and usually 1-2 person(s) end up doing all the work. Also, the energy of the students are pretty negative when it comes to motivation in education and learning. Most of them just want to get over it, done with it, and leave it! It is terrible because Centennial College loves to promote group work and teamwork skills in most courses!
I don’t recommend Centennial College for those who really wants to learn. However, if you’re using Centennial College for a stepping stone in University I do agree because your GPA and boost up!
waste of time, and would not recommend this college
I would not recommend Centennial to anyone.oh also, the co-op if yuo are not lucky than waste of time and money.
“L” (above) said it all, but I would like to add a little more. The area around is terrible (nothing for food, or to do), they more often than not mess up your timetable scheduling, teachers do not show up sometimes (Try waiting three hours for a class only to find out the prof didn’t show), the libraries are near useless for finding material on the subjects you’re trying to study (extremely limited selection), and they just continuously drop the ball. Huge waste of time and money, not worth the affordability (compared to other school you may be looking at) at all. This is your future and education we’re talking about – don’t cut corners going to Centennial, take out a loan if you have to (for choosing elsewhere), it would be much more worth it.
