It was then I realized just how bad the caliber of people studying at humber were. Three years in, still see people passing classes with flying colours despite not knowing how to save a goddamn word document. Can’t make any friends because everyone’s a foreigner and can’t hold a conversation to save their lives.
I literally can’t understand 90% of the words my teachers utter, and even when I read their lecture slides it’s like I’m trying to decipher broken fragments of akkadian cuneiform. To the point I’m basically self-studying, taking a note not to actually emulate what my professors’re doing in class at work since for whatever reason they’ve all got some obsession with teaching actual bad practices and so on and on.
But I’m in too deep to drop out. I’m going to get a piece of paper that’s stolen my youth, my time and money it’s going to take so much more.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here… join the forces, slap sandwiches together. Literally ANYTHING would be better than going to Humber College.
Maybe it’s different if you’re indian or something, but honestly the place just reeks, stinks, it’s loud and disgusting, a lot of places smell like piss for some reason, the classes’re actual wastes of time, sometimes decades out of date.
Another thing – for some reason my course attracts the weirdest looking mutants I’ve seen in all my years, it’s like. How. How are there people this ugly, this young? What kind of pollutants are these people soaking up?
The majority of Modi’s Indians cause problems in countries like Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname and South Africa.

Even Worse the Associate Dean Susan Kelsall. She does not have people skills. She is rude, racist and she has no common sense. She thinks she is Queen Bee but she really has no sense of dealing with people and doing common sense things. If you are young, white and have no disability then Humber is the school for you. but if you are old, disable and of a non white ethnic background find another school. Your money means nothing Humber, so go somewhere your hard earned money will be appreciated.
Administration is difficult to deal with, and unprofessional. Overall, this university is not worth attending. Unfortunately I bridged in, and am unable to transfer out now. Save yourself the hassle, go somewhere else. If you’re upgrading from college, don’t. Go somewhere else. The courses are repetitive to your college courses, and the profs are 50/50 split on unqualified or unprepared. There are a handful of professors that take an active interest in the field and/or students. However, keep in mind, these professors are generally only available via email as they are commuting from Guelph University, and are not employed locally or available on campus outside of lecture hours.
+ Strike fear every year.
+ Profs are not showing up, quitting.
+ Profs are sometime lazy. Some of them even decide to teach half of the classes. online to avoid going to class.
+ Profs are unprofessional, lack of passion when teaching.
+ Some classrooms are dirty, lack equipment.
+ Support staffs are extremely unreliable.
+ General sanitary conditions are just bad.
It’s a mess but maybe it’s a different experience for everyone.
On top of this egregious complaint, I applied for the Co-Op program (minimum GPA of 70 required for enrollment) with a 90.3 GPA after first semester, and was promptly rejected. I scheduled a meeting with the program coordinator who rejected me, and he very quickly admitted that he didn’t even look at my grades before rejecting me.
I had a business law class in first semester where a group of Indian kids would just sequester themselves off in the corner of the room during tests, and flat out cheat off each other, and the professor knew full well this was going on and did nothing about it.
Most of my professors know nothing and teach directly out of the textbooks, as a matter of fact, my high grades have been attained without even attending lectures, and just reading the content from textbooks. I don’t know where they find these professors, but the majority of them know absolutely nothing of what they teach without the use of their teaching aids.
I had a workplace writing class this semester, received a grade of 75% at midterm, after midterms they swapped our professor out for someone else, in the second half of the class I earned nothing but 80s and 90s, my final group project even received a grade of 100%. Final grades went up on blackboard said I had a final grade of 81%, when the final grades were posted to MyHumber, it had dropped to 67%. I emailed my professor about it, radio silence, this seems to be a recurring theme at this school, know-nothing idiot professors who don’t respond to student messages.
You have to understand the game in Canadian university, and technically how the workplace runs in Canada.
Those high grades that you have are not celebrated in cities like Toronto, because that causes envy in the white Canadian women at your college who earned their career with less than a 2-year college diploma or even Grade 12 High school!
In order to receive grants and scholarships, you need to be a white woman like Mandi Gray who is a lying social activist and falsely accuses Muslim men of crimes against her person in order to be exalted in Canadian society.
Good grades and achievements are for the USA, not Canada which appeals to the lowest common denominator white feminist women scum and filth gutter rats of society.
THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT MY SECOND EXPERIENCE – Humber College – “Mechanical Techniques – Millwright” is the program I will be reviewing. It took place at the Carrier Campus (centre for trades)
I would recommend anyone looking to attend Humber College in a pre-apprenticeship manner, to avoid and find almost any other college.
Humber treats these programs as an afterthought, and I do not feel like I got any kind of value for my money. I am no farther ahead finding an apprenticeship now than I was in January when I started, and I graduated with an 83% average).
The school held a job fair 2 WEEKS INTO SEMESTER 1, so obviously we weren’t able to get any jobs out of that, and then they did not offer any further job fairs or connections to companies, or offer ANY HELP WHATSOEVER finding apprenticeships.
The coordinator will also talk about how the hours at school will go towards your apprenticeship hours, THEY DO NOT.
These programs WILL NOT COUNT towards your apprenticeship hours, despite what coordinators say.
AVOID HUMBER COLLEGE SCHOOL OF TRADES LIKE THE PLAGUE. I only hope people will find this review before taking this program, like I wish I had.
Pathetic!
How dare you compare the female & feminist inhabitants of Toronto as animals? That is an insult to animals which deserve our compassion rather than those arrogant women you have on your campuses in Toronto.
You turn on buttons they can push to get a response out of you. As has been previously stated, be indifferent towards those women on campus in Toronto.
Don’t let any get close to you. As stated before also, these women would rather have you hate them than for you to ignore them while they earn their Childcare or Doctorate degree to access little children for their deviant intent. They can’t stand that.
These Toronto women want to make you feel angry and hate when they plaster those Rape Hysteria posters across campus, while secretly allowing their pet dog or a 5-year-old child engage in xxx with her.
To hate them does you harm and gives you a lot stress. Write on chalkboard a hundred times ” I don’t give a f#ck about Torontonian women on my college campus”.
Toronto Women’s brains and their STD-infected petri dish, vag.ina have one thing in common. There is nothing in there until a man puts something in there. Those women on your campus in Toronto are animals who don’t know any better.
This is why Canadian feminism IS A CANCER that needs to be eradicated.
These femiNazis are mentally disturbed individuals, who are given platforms because women in Canadian society will not, collectively, self-censure.
The herd-like mentality of females makes them, collectively, unsuited for roles of social leadership or working as Faculty in Humber College. The more women demand immunity from criticism (it’s “misogyny” apparently), the more obscene behavior some women will indulge in.
And so the cycle continues. Women in Canadian society have become, as they demand and get more and more privilege, increasingly self-centered psychos, who not only do not contribute, but through their verbal garbage, are degrading society. Way to go, women in Toronto!
BUT some textbooks are humber exclusive so you can’t buy it for half price at a book store and have to buy it at humber. They load so many courses in one semester, i had no choice but to drop some to take the next semester because it all got so overwhelming. After dropping some, I started doing better. Students are nice, friendly environment, very diverse, no tension.
I think humber is a good school. Just keep up with your studies, be aware that it does drain your money, make sure you’re in a program you’re passionate about or else you won’t be interested in what theyre teaching.
GOOD LUCK
Look at Roosh V’s video on YouTube “Toronto Sucks”. Toronto is truly the man-hater feminotzi utopia where women hate men. Man-hating Torongto women on that campus should GTFO out of my face. Those rotten, filthy, batshit crazy cunts on Toronto campus.
I don’t give a f-u-c-k about “laid” in Toronto because I’m from the States where women aren’t that flocking insane like Toronto women, but I don’t want to attend classes in person if I’m seeing these man-hater on campus. I feel unsafe.
F-u-c-k Toronto women. Toronto women suck. I can’t wait to earn my degree to GTFO out Toronto and their man-hater miserable women. F-u-c-k those miserable Toronto women. May God condemn those man-hater Toronto women to a life of spinster cats and anti-depressants. Toronto women suck! Toronto women are cancer!
After the audition, they gave us a tour of the studios, labs, etc. It looked so cool and the coordinator was super nice.
I enrolled.
I did my first semester – I got pretty good grades and the classes were fun.
Now during second semester, all the fun and life has been sucked out of me. Some of the profs were unprofessional and happen to be d********s. Other profs were great but their material was extremely boring.
For this particular program, at the end of your first year you have to chose one of 4 pathways: announcing, news, sales management or production. By the time mid-terms rolled around, that was that. None of the pathways interested me anymore and it was time to call it a day.
I applied to a completely different program and a totally different college. Perhaps radio isn’t for me but this school in general, wasn’t really that good.
The general elective: intro to arts and sciences (former humanities) is just a joke. And getting involved in extracurricular is practically non-existant. Don’t even get me started on work-study.
I truly was looking forward to graduating here in 2018 but now I realized how bad of a school this was. Also way too expensive. Caf is gross too.
Humber College will unapologetically f**k up your schedule if there are more students in one block over another, sometimes scheduling you to have two classes happening simultaneously.Their policy is it’s up to you to fix their careless blunders. These course time changes can occur into the first couple of weeks of school and they have zero sympathy for students who are trying to work their way through school to come to their money-grubbing facility.
The professors are the only saving grace to this time-and-money-vampire of a college. They are knowledgeable, caring and typically provide helpful feedback.
Ultimately, it is not worth the constant headaches from the administration and I have to assume there are better options for intelligent students to go.
I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE. I should have just gone to Sheridan. At least I would have saved a sh*t ton of gas money.
I enrolled
The profs were nice
I was excited.
Take two on our midterms I didn’t know what the hell we were doing I’m a lot older in my 30s than most kids here. I was losing my mind with how fast paced it was.
Then I learned every prof has their own pace and if you dont keep up you fail.. but of course they have their billion slides to say can reach you on blackboard so its your own fault.
Administration? Don’t get me started. They’ll switch your program and forget you’re a student and have you in collections in no time.
End of 1 semester, the ecstatic student I was 4 months prior was at a whopping 52% GPA. Great start huh?
The rest of 3 semesters carried on as such and worsened because now they changed “deadlines” for payments. Which initially screwed over not just myself but the class that I had started with in 2014. Nobody was sure why we had to pay 500.00 in one shot whenever it was convenient for Humber to send out an email when it was 200?250? Just the year prior.
Oh yea, you have to get THEIR supplies for their business and law classes so take the dollar store or Walmart out of your mind for saving your money.
I got below 60% GPA on my last semester they didn’t let me continue to the fourth so I opted out. I learned the fields in law I was interested in I don’t care for family law or litigation much. Boring as heck breaking up these classes when they’re initially all.the.same.damn.class.
Good luck and remind yourself to be ready for another 10 years of debt. This school was a nightmare. Too much violence and stupid kids also. Security is a joke.

Don’t ever waste your time here. They just wanna take your money ,confidence and precious time. This place is like a pitfall.They don’t give a s**t about student.Some so-called professors has been absent or late for the class and just give 2 min lecture and then leave the classroom. Some so-called professors know nothing about the major and industry,so groups of international students come to the co-coordinator to talk about changing him or her and everything is in vain.Even in some final-exams, one of the professor was out of room to let the students cheat from each other.But I cannot report it to anywhere because the coordinator won’t help the students.Most of the classmates haven’t found any professional job after graduation and start to blame the college on social media.I have talked this to one part-time but responsible professor and she replied like: ‘I know what happened here but I have no idea about how to change it.’In the process of KPI,some so-called professors came in and said,’We could recognize your writings’.As for me, I read that as a threat.And Can you imagine the college doesn’t deliver the learning material until 7th week of the new semester. PS: We spend about 2000 dollars on the learning packs.
Again,I think this place will be wonderful without some so-called professors.
Run away,please,go to some place which they really value and care their students.
Don’t ruin your youth here!
Please Please Please, if you really want to get a quality education then get admission in Universities as the value of certificate from university is way high than this useless Humber College. Before your course is completed you get your dream job offers from top most companies of Canada with really good wages and you feel that you did something meaningful in life. If you want to repent later like me and lot other people who wasted money in this college then it is your own risk but there is a guarantee that you are throwing your time, career and money in a darkest well (Humber College) from where it is useless to hope for any good output.
The teachers are horrible. They lure you in with fancy words saying, “we want you to graduate” or “we care about your life.” Can I call bs? They don’t. Last semester (3rd), my teacher says to the entire class that has surprised that there were so many of us because he was hoping that all the group projects would make us drop out. I mean seriously? After we paid thousands to enroll and learn? So much for caring about us.
Just today my teacher, who happens to be the program coordinator as well, calls me out in front of the class because I ”wasn’t paying attention” and was on my tablet. The only thing I was doing was trying to open blackboard and open the stupid PowerPoint of hers. She totally ignores me and then later during the break she comes over and comments how I didn’t attend my class the day before, which I replied that I had a doctors appointment to remove my mole for testing of skin cancer. She doesn’t even pay attention and just tells me to send an email and have proof. Of course, I’m going to ask my doctor who’s already busy to write me a note. Should I show her my stitches that I got too? She totally walks away before I can even say anything else.
Not to mention that she doesn’t call out people who are ACTUALLY on their laptops playing games or skipped multiple classes by now. Of all the four semesters, now you’re going to ask people about why they’re not in class?
Before you say some snide remark about how I must have a bad grade or I deserve it, I don’t. I have honours with a 83 overall GPA.
All I gained from that program and course is depression and where not to spend my money. Do yourself a favor and choose another college or university.
The faculty and your fellow students will both wreck you if you aren’t studying your ass off. I applied for Culinary Management a few years ago and dropped it due to lack of interest. This isn’t to say the program was poor, just overly competitive and has less of an emphasis on learning as opposed to results.
If you study hard and make this school your #1 priority, you’ll do alright. But if you have other things going on in your life then I suggest finding another school that will be accommodating, because humber will NOT. It’s a great school, but you need to be on the ball 100% of the time or you’ll going to fall behind.
Going back this year, I had a mixed experience but still have fairly high expectations.
Everything is a cash grab for this school. You pay to do an English placement test so that (no matter what) you get placed in the lowest grade – ensuring the school gets to leech two semesters’ worth of payment off of you. And that’s just to start. I pay to qualify for my placements – then pay the school to make sure that I’ve paid. $40 for a stamp saying that someone in the office saw all the paperwork that I have to carry around with me anyway? Why??
The only redeeming quality would be the teachers – all of mine have been genuinely nice people. However, in order to make ends meet, ALL of them are currently working more than this job and/or going back to school themselves because teaching here just isn’t cutting it. All of my teachers are tired and worn out all the time!
Getting bursaries/scholarships is like pulling teeth. I *just* got accepted for one now (November) that I applied for in August – and then found out that the money for this “Fall Scholarship” won’t be available for me to use until December. Oh, and fall fees were due in September.
If you have a question, you won’t find the answer on their website and sending in emails is a waste of time. They’ll direct you to three or four other sources for your answer who will just waste your time ignoring what you’ve asked of them and just keep replying “Cool question, but what’s your student number?” – whether or not it is LITERALLY your email address or LITERALLY the first line of your email since you’ve been running around this freaking circle for days already. And talking to an actual person in the office… better not. I have not had a single interaction that didn’t involve them saying “I don’t know” and then attempting to leave it at that. If you don’t know, help me find someone that does!
I can say this experience has truly been a waste of my money.
My boyfriend went there and he called the instructor out on his mistake and the instructor out of personal grudge failed him with a 49. his average is always above 80. Worst of all the program coordinator is a personal feiend of the professor and when my boyfriend called for an appeal they gave him a 2/20 and i saw his assignment which was rlly good. they r dishonest a holes who screw ppl over out of personal grudges when the student soesnt deserve it. So if u know whats good for u dont go there. humber sucks a.
Second semester, in addition to first semester issues, teachers have no idea of how to deliver their ideas CAN NOT TEACH.
Second Year, teachers do not obey the same rules, everyone has their own rules that you have to work with. No standers are set by the school.

Goes on till the end.
Double Major, (NEST and CENG) Coordinators do not give a damn about what you decide they sit their waiting for you to say what you want and just do it for you, no help in making a plan and no suggestions.
Labs: Java, Unix, and Embedded systems, are so complicated due to the lack of poor materials and teaching skills, that even Stack Over Flow are not good enough to find help.
Teacher assistants: extremely Helpful, anyone can imagine why.
The Crib (where you borrow your materials) Pure monopoly. We had to pay $75 cash (no Receipt) for a PCB ,board to build a mouse, PCB ONLY AVAILABLE FROM the crib. Extremely rude Manager, who makes you feel like an ignorant stupid moron confused lost and hopeless P.O.S. After I complained to the PC, fee was waved for next year. I wonder where that money went.
My father passed away, missed some classes, spoke to the teacher wether I should drop off the course or I should continue as I missed so much. He said I will make sure you are alright. Failed the course.
After failing that course, Instead of graduating in 2014, My only option that I will graduate in 2016. According to the coordinator. Dropped CENG program. 20K OSAP debit.
Coordinators, only reply to emails with easy requests, ask for help on an important matter, then wait for months. At some point, he did not know how to check my Time Table.
Washrooms are more dirty than public washrooms.
Bad smell in the hallway. Library Noisy as hell.
BookStore: NEVER BUY BOOKS, available online for next to free. All of them.
Ah man, I can keep going none stop.
If you are a nerd, and you have nothing to do but play video games and study, then this is the perfect place for you. Because Mommy and Daddy will provide the $$$.
If you are a hard working person, responsible for paying bills, and always looking for help along the way. DO NOT COME TO HUMBER. They do not give a S**t about what you can do cause they compare you to the nerds.
If they hire real trained teachers, I will come back and do my course again. So I can learn something.
“You have lodged a complaint. We do not need to hear something from more than one person to respond.
We have a process. Things do not come down to “my word against hers”. We know how to work through conflicts and issues.
In order for me to act further on your complaints, we need to speak. Noni also has the right to hear what you are saying. This can be managed in a mutually respectful way.
Students can contact me anytime. Your classmates are welcome to do so.
I will await your response on when we can meet. ”
I wouldn’t suggest this school for anyone, not even my worst nightmare.
HUMBER is a really great college I’m passing with A ‘s. Just because some of you aren’t doing Good doesn’t mean you should give Humber a bad name. -.- Proud to be in Toronto. Proud to be at humber
Attended nursing, worst experience ever, I have never failed before until I started humber, even at clinical I know my stuff well enough. The teachers bombard you with materials too much and unnecessary that if you can’t memorize all their junk, its a fail.
Thought of leaving the school at first, I thought it was me, but then I realized that they just have you read too much books for exam which you cannot finish and which is not necessary in real life work as a nurse. Can you imagine, they basically set up people for failure.
Such a regret going to the school….
Do not go to Humber College for anything in the school of media studies and info tech. It is 100% a scam. They keep increasing our class sizes (recently doubled student intake into the program from 60~ students (2 classes) to 120 in 3 classes). We see each of our professors once a week (last two semesters we had our classes evenly divided across the week, now it’s 1 professor for 5 hours straight each day). This program will destroy your dreams of game development if you had any.
hmm…Let’s ask philosorapter.
Is he a troll or, gangstalking victim?
Let’s take a poll, shall we? A troll poll.
Oh yeah, i also forgot to mention that Humber Sucks the big, black, hairy, wazoo! Enrolled in humber for Automation and Robotics. I effing hated all of my courses, and dropped out first semester. Failed workshop practice.
Near the university of guelph I have a class, and every time I get asked to join some fucking satanist clut.!!!!
I can’t believe this. Humber is a satanic church. I don’t trust the teachers nor do I trust the students because every
time a different person asks me this question. Not only do I feel uncomfotable I don’t feel safe.

My life at Humber College North Campus.
I sheaded tears for grief and sheaded tears for joy. In the first few weeks I arrived it was considered, “normal,” atleast to my standards. Week four came around, the day I saw the mascot, and everything changed. You must know that I’m a handsome young man, but I don’t think that’s why they came to me. They looked, “normal,” atleast to my standards… It was Tuesday, mid day, and that’s when they asked if I would like to join in an after school group. I was rushing to my 3rd period class while, the main guy, placed a card on top of my books. I blanced that card all the way to the computer room. The card said, floor D after school secrets. It was all fancy. After my last class I noticed that there was no door number, but I was on floor E, so I gave it a chance. I spotted them infront of some academic class, atleast the door said academic. I think it did… Anyways, I thought it was just an coincidence, but now I know it was no such thing. Two males, the ones from before gestured me over. I headed to a class close to a washroom, and inside a group of people, nomore than ten, were already there. Making thirteen when the two boys and I stepped in, the room became silent. They all stared at us. … One guy stood in the middle of nine beautiful girls… and I mean beautiful… The silence broke when the man in the middle ordered the two behind me to close the door. I wasn’t nervous. You must understand this felt normal…. atleast to me… I grabbed a seat few chairs away from the group infront of me, and a girl broke off from that group and sat beside me. At this point I still did not know what this was, but all I could think about is this hot girl infront of me… I now feel absolutely vulnerable. Answering all the questions she asked. She managed to glean information about me, my schedule, my name, the city I live in, my family… I gave her it all… and everyday I worry. Stirring around, I was conscious of the time, well actually I don’t quite remember, but I ended the assult of questions, and asked her the question I should’ve asked from the moment I got that card. You must understand; I am extremely scared one of them might read this. The room became silent when I asked, “What group is this.” She did not answer, but the man who ordered the two from before did. He said, “This is a satanic group.” I wasn’ t scared just startled by his seriousness which I mistaked as humour. I redirected the question to the girl, and she got up and left the table, and I knew it was time to leave. The foreboding feeling came when they all stared at me. I noticed one thing…. and yes the cops now know. They all had purple eyes. I don’t know if this is how they identify themselves, but it was something they all had, and they were not contacts… How the two guys rushed me before I left, I do not want to write down… but my mom has died yesterday, and…. if they have anything to do with that I.. I am going to do everything I can to get them.
I do not attend that college anymore. Police come over time to time… I think they watch me… I never seen them since… The appearences they take are not normal… they look smart and talk smart. But their eyes give them away.. I saw two white males and one black male. They looked really young and innocent… the girls where all caucasian. Stay away from strangers.
If you are considering going to humber DO NOT LIVE ON CAMPUS. I REPEAT DO NOT LIVE ON CAMPUS. I am appalled at how the residences are run, the cafe food is absolutely revolting and cold every night… and several people complain that they feel sick after eating there. But my main bone to pick is actually with the staff/security/faculty members in the residence buildings. I was actually “evicted” for ridiculous reasons and I appealed it and won because it was so unheard of. I was actually in trouble for defending myself after a strange man was preventing my friends and I from using the elevator. He was physically using his hands to rip the doors back open and actually broke the elevator, and then turned and attacked my friend and I. (there was no security responding to that incident or to ask if we were alright afterwords) One of the RA’s assured us we weren’t in trouble and that she just wanted us to make statements. The next morning we were called down and had to speak to the director of residence life guy, where we basically got ripped a new hole and was questioned as to if i had anger issues and if i had ever considered anger management before. I was so shocked that this was being spun around to make it seem like my friend and I were thee aggressors, for defending ourselves. He would arrange these meetings with us to give us our “outcomes” of whether we were being kicked out or not and kept cancelling to mess with us and our sanity while we waited for our fate. No matter what we said, they already had some undermining comment to give us back. oh and P.S the attacker still lives on residence, and got away with it. When I questioned the faculty member about this, he talked his way out of it in circles and talked a lot about nothing. Several of my friends have gotten into severe trouble for petty things like giving an RA a little attitude when they were confused as to why they were being interrogated, or having their door’s dead-bolted etc. The ra’s are useless and you can tell they are power hungry and continue to try and intimidate even when you are being cooperative, they will find a way to document you. A friend of mine actually caught a security guard outside her room with his ear pressed against her door making notes on her personal conversation, to use against her.
bottom line, its dirty, poorly run and dangerous area to live in. Waste of time and money. I suggest you do not live here.
Here are some of my favourite ‘word-for-word’ quotes from the Automation and Robotics profile on humber.ca
“Develop skills in industrial automation, robotics, control systems, machining, hydraulics, pneumatics, safety, mechatronics, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), electrical, programming, manufacturing process, and computer-control methods.”
…We get to make a cylinder go back and forth, and we get to pick up a block here, and put over there…That’s it! The material itself isn’t all THAT challenging, in that the real challenge is competing with 35 other students for the attention of an instructor who is already tired from their other job, and can’t seem to give more than 10-30 seconds of unhelpful or incomplete advice! I spent the majority of my classes with my hand in the air, waiting anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours to get sub-par help, and I’m often left to either twiddle my thumbs and wait, or fend for myself. Sometimes I don’t even get helped at all.
The wind generator project was cool, but it didn’t make up for the mountains upon mountains of boring, un-engaging labwork and assignments, and stressful exams, which desecrated my academic experience.
The assignments and lecture notes were endless, and the instructors raced from one concept to the next at warp speed, not giving students a chance to absorb the information. This whole process isn’t even close to developing any kind of skill, other than pure frustration tolerance. The large class sizes just added more fuel to the fire!
The practical component, with the exception of workshop practice (which was very enjoyable, and taught by an excellent instructor), was deplorable! The whole program was a big race. The labs were boring, a lot of the equipment was broken in my first year. Although the labs were repaired over the summer, by the time I started my second year, I had already grown weary, and the faintest shadow that was left of my interest in the program had fizzled away completely, and I was dead inside. was
“Coursework reflects real-world demands through independent and co-operative study in practical environments, including experience with industrial size modern equipment. The industry-relevant curriculum is taught by faculty at the top of their fields, to provide you with the skills and knowledge employers are looking for.”
…maybe in 3rd year…but it is not worth the backbreaking, frustrating, anxiety-invoking heartache that is first, second, and third semester! I, like many of my peers in this program, grew weary, dropped, and moved on to greener pastures…
In terms of the physical aspects of the campus,
The campus is crowded, there are not enough places to eat, and the places that are there, are overpriced! The food is absolutely dreadful, and the wait times are over a half an hour, if you want a good meal. Half the time, they screw up your order, and you have to wait even longer for them to sort it out! It’s agonizing, when my blood sugar and protein levels are crashing through the floor, and I need something to eat RIGHT NOW, or I feel sick!
Speaking of sick, the washrooms are overcrowded, and there are not enough washroom facilities per building. To add insult to injury, there were not enough stalls or urinals in the washroom. Naturally, the washrooms were disgusting, with urine and fecal matter all over the floors, and walls. The stench is permanent, even after multiple cleanings per day, by the janitorial staff (who are not paid nearly enough for what they endure on a daily basis), and the combined smell of excrement and chemicals wafts into all of the main hallways. The school smells like one giant, dirty bathroom!
The one positive comment I have about Humber, is their disabilities program. Their disabilities program is TOP NOTCH, and I COMMEND THE DISABILITIES STAFF for the help that they offer students. The Math centre is also excellent, and I would reccomend it to any student, who needs help in math, or just wants to brush up on their skills.
Aside from the disability services, administration, and the math centre, which are excellent, the school is not worth your time or money.
However, the disabilities staff and the math centre do not make up for the overall unpleasent and unenjoyable atmosphere that humber has to offer.
Sincerely,
A severely dissappointed student!
for my second year clinical, we received a 6 hour orientation plus a demo using a mannequin for 10 minutes for the skills that we need for our clinical. with this very limited knowledge, we are sent to our clinical placement. for students who have prior health care experience and degrees, this is not a problem; however, not all students have this advantage. taking care of patients with complex condition and not feeling confident in performing the nursing process plus the frequent scolding from clinical instructors slowly take away your self-esteem and passion for the program.
Finals are also stressful just like in every school institutions but what makes it unique in humber is that you don’t have an idea that you will fail. even if you do and feel like you need to decrease your course loads to manage academically, you have no option except to soldier on because humber doesn’t offer any summer intersession except for those that they have fixed eg. summer intersession for unb students. I did and it was 16 days of hell ( 4 wks, 4 days/wk, 6 hrs/day). at the end, I chose my health and sanity over years of hardwork, and tons of money over tuition and books… I quit. I struggled with my decision because I am in my middle age but then, I need to move forward to cut my losses. its like being in an abusive relationship and you cannot leave because you’d been married for so many years and there are children who will be affected. that’s how I see myself then. you can talk to any of the unb nursing students there and 4 in 5 will say that they can’t turn back because they invested so much in their studies; time. money. family time. relationships. health.
the greatest lesson I learned from my experience is not all that glitters is gold. I thought that having a university seal ( university of new Brunswick ) attached to my diploma while receiving my education in humber college will save me a lot of money and yet give me the education, experience, skills, and confidence that a normal university offers. I was proven wrong. it was a very expensive mistake; time, money, and healthwise.
the only thing that I can do is to warn other mature students like me who are starting a second career. unb-humber is not the place that will meet your needs. it doesn’t care if you have family issues, death in the family, or ill family members/children so at the end, you’ll either fail or quit. I chose the latter and although, I was wounded emotionally and financially, I know, i’ll get to where I intend to do years from now. start right and do the right thing. reject your acceptance from unb-humber.
thank you
Don’t waste your time, energy and money. From the front desk people to lousy instructors, you won’t get anywhere. Another school has offer more, and you will fell respect from anybody around you.

I have had the worst treatment from the staff and the dean because I don’t fit in. Take it for what its worth. THis is a business school and the courses they offer are pure garbage in comparison to other schools. Some teachers are not even qualified to teach. I tried complaining to the dean at the school about some of his teachers and he said that he didn’t want to look bad so therefore I must have done something wrong and was accused of cheating on more than one occassion. However, if I went along with him, then I was promised things that I did not request. If you know what I mean.
They have taken my money and refused to offer a solution to a problem with one program, so I am left with some horrible grades because the curriculum was bad and they refuse to honour anything. I was told that I have completed one program and to get out because I am not welcome there. I cannot believe the treatment. It is common knowledge that the staff and the faculty at this school hate the school itself and it shows. They take it out on the students. They do not even grade properly, they grade down based on their personal opinions.
Really simple facts here folks, don’t go here if you are caucasian, you’re not welcome. Don’t go here unless you are attending right out of highschool. Avoid the faculty at all times, never ask questions because they will harrass you. This school is mostly for foreign students and they allow them to enroll without prior English courses. I have been looking for a job recently and have been specifically told by HR recruiters that out of all the schools in Toronto, Humber is considered to be the worst educational facility because the curriculum sucks for all their programs and the students walk out of school clueless. If you are not getting a job interview from the companies you want, its because Humber is listed on your resume. I have effectively hidden mine way at the bottom on page 2 and recently started an excellent program at a University. Stay away from Humber. The school has gangs and a girl was assaulted on campus. You know which kind of assault, I don’t have to spell it out. I feel horrible after attending and am told by HR people to eventually remove it from my resume. I hope this helps someone’s decision. Go to Sheridan instead. Its a way better school for young people. If you are older. Find a different alternative. Their continuing education courses are meant only for immigrants and foreign students. This school does not serve the local community.
I was ready to take up some issue with their human rights department, but was threatened by the dean that if I said anything he would change my grades and lower them because he didn’t want to get in trouble so I had to stay away. I still have not received my credentials and every time I call the school, I get some bimbo telling me some different story. Unorganized garbage really is what this school is. I hope to get my money back and the time I wasted there, but I will take alternative measures outside of the corrupt organization.
GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL.
Now my class doesn’t think I passed my core courses because of Humber’s lacklustre communication abilities. I suffer for their failures? This isn’t right.
The school’s administrative staff is useless. Once they have your money, they couldn’t care less.
MUSIC CLINIC FOR $250 is a RIP OFF, THEY DO NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING…
SOME OF THE TEACHERS COME THERE TO WASTE TIME< THEY DO NOT TELL ANYTHING ABOUT AUDITION OR REQUIREMENTS …..
WE AS CANADIANs ARE ASHAMED THAT SUCH WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH SUCH INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING..
very disappointed with Humber College. I did have many fantastic proffesors who are very passionate about their jobs, but also some rude and unprofessional ones(Karyn Humber). Courses are good, however the course load is very heavy. Area around the campus is AWFUL full of litter, dog feces and spit on sidewalks. Depending on where you look for housing you might be able to find something cheap but expect it to be gross. Humber offers many extracurricular opps and i find that great. People at the Registration office have no idea what they are doing and might screw up your paperwork and transcripts. If i had to do this all over again i would DEFINITELY STAY AWAY from Humber.
