I think this is fantastic and better then YouTube
Sheridan College absolutely sucks. I’m in my last semester and I’m supposed to graduate in April, however they apparently did not make enough electives for all students. When you go to the front desk the guy slaps a piece of paper in front of you and says these are the people to contact to yell and complain about not creating enough electives for all students. When I contacted the office, they said oh well there’s nothing we can do, come back next semester and pay another $1,000 of money you don’t have. It’s a scam and a money making business. They don’t care about you and the staff sucks. They tell all students to wait until their last semester to enroll in electives then say there is not enough room for all of you. What a joke! If you want to get s**t on go to Sheridan College.
Teachers just read off powerpoint now that everything is online. Will not give you your assignment marks after midterm/final exam so you do not know where yo are standing. Not worth it, some nurses in the school even messed up my vaccine because they are not checking the vaccination policy. I got double dose for suposedly only 1 dose vaccine because I already had it as a child.
It’s an affordable college, but that’s it.
Teachers don’t want to teach, they just post recorded videos, the same videos for all their sections. Not sure why I pay for 6 hours of live teaching when I only get may 30 minutes for some of the classes. The longer you are at the college the less the staff wants to help you. My first 2 semesters I got tons of assists with my schedule and accommodations, but 3rd semester not so much and 4th semester none.
Don’t waste your money on this college.
Their website says there is an indigenous center, but only at 1 of 3 campuses. The Indigenous coordinator is great, but the college itself really does not support its indigenous students. We were given a room for 3 hours a day, which it seemed we were kicked out of more often then not for double bookings.
I went to Humber previously and their indigenous area is fantastic! If you are indigenous go to Humber NOT Sheridan.
I never expected this level of collages to exist in Canada. Instructors have nothing to do but wasting time in the lectures by talking about their past personal life and their families. They treated the student very badly. Never answer their questions, emails, concerns related even during COVID-19. Management and administration don’t even care. When I went once to complain about an instructor, They answered me: this man has power and nobody can challenge him, better to keep your voice silent, otherwise he will fall you. The other instructor refused to communicate with the students during COVID-19 via a virtual classroom because he is not confident of his accent and scared that students will record his voice. I’m really in shock
Student rights and responsibilities they need to fire many in that department and start again. The short Italian guy David M with the weird evil eyes he thinks he’s gentlemen. He smells of perversion he stalks the campuses looking for guys dating more than one woman if he sees a black talking to a hot girl look out your career finished at that school. He got in with security he gives them your name and picture and they watch you . School is about learning not about dirty old men whinning over college girls they can’t get. David guy he’s about 53-59 He’s an Italian ….Government needs to investigate them students they work 40 hours per week they not suppose to and departments like rights responsibilities they doing something just can oin it maybe they own houses in area the guys who work at rights reponisbilties and they need students working and passing ..its fucked dont go here this schools need go shut down you cant learn anything. I heard they going to make university . This will be worst university ever the easiest some of thes ekids could barely talk english its fucked up
I’m not sure why people are complaining so much here, I complete my account diploma in the end of 2018, I had a good experience with the coop. Was able to get a job in the end.
Sheridan College doesn’t really hold you hand so if you don’t put the work in the fail you but I never had this problem.
I also had no problem get bursaries from the school when I applied, it was only like $500 a year but still at least it was something.
Sheridan College is a scam.
They will lie to you.
They will mislead you.
They will misdirect you.
All for the sole purpose of extracting as much money as possible from you.
Sheridan college is fraud.
Sheridan college is a sham, a shakedown, it is extortion, it is a hoax.
Everything they tell you is a lie. Everything they say they contradict the next time you speak to them and if you point out the contradictions they will pretend as if you’ve violated the student code of conduct to punish you and keep you in silence.
Sheridan administrators and employees are crooks, scoundrels, swindlers with no sense of ethics, no conception of right and wrong. Sheridan college is run by psychopaths interested only in exploiting you to their own personal benefit.
“Sheridan Admin (HMC)April 27, 2017
Please be advised this forum is being monitored. Your opinions are your own, however, racist speech affiliated with Sheridan College, including the hate speech of Students, will be reported to Peel Regional Police. As internet savvy people, you know the ISP (thus, account, name, address, etc) can be easily tracked.”
Lmao you disgusting pathetic tyrants, go f**k yourselves. Stop monitoring a forum and start fixing your god damn school you fucking scamming fraudsters.
“as internet savvy people”, how about as educated people, you fucking swine? You supposedly educated ass clowns are over here threatening to report speech to the police. How tremendously sad.
You should be prosecuted under organized crime laws.
Professors: most don’t even bother to prepare to class, all the materials are supplied by third parties. They just read out a third party powerpoint presentation verbatim and call it a lecture. No one proof reads exams or assignments either.
Courses: content is almost always old and full of errors. Which you might think “if it’s old how did no one ever fix the errors?” and that’s a damn good question!
Programs: They don’t provide the proper course availability to complete your program in the normal amount of time. Prerequisite courses will randomly be unavailable forcing you to take at least one extra term(and pay one extra term in tuition and ancillary fees)
Attitude: This institution is incredibly authoritarian, they don’t want you to know anything about anything. This college is less transparent than the business dealings of Jeffrey Epstein.
the teachers belittled me, embarrassed me, and people around me are cheating all the time. this school is in cahoots with the indian consulate or something. the only reason people come here is to become permanent residents. my paralegal internship got shut down a few weeks later because of some shady stuff they were doing with human trafficking. dont go here.
I studied engineering here. The diploma I was rewarded with holds no market value since most of the jobs I can apply for require no post-secondary education. This diploma will not help you find a job. It will only act as a stepping-stone to a degree and that’s about it.
Professors: Some good, a lot bad. A lot of the professors suck. Even worse, some are tyrants and don’t want you to succeed. They will grade you in a way as to end your career. You may not get any credit on your original work either, especially if you had a lazy albeit manipulative partner who managed to ‘get into bed’ with your instructor.
Networking: Zilch, nada, zero, notta. No networking to speak of. You may have the odd business come in to recruit, but they are only doing this because the job they’re offering pays minimum wage and nobody else is willing to take it. The school won’t help you find a job.
Area/Housing: Brampton sucks – it’s literally India. People don’t wear deodorant and have poor manners. They piss all over the seats and don’t flush; they are disgusting.
Atmosphere: Absolute shiiite. You will have a hard time making friends and finding a girlfriend if you aren’t a Punjabi international student or some hood rat.
Administration: Awful. These people are monsters. I’ve had very late OSAP funds come in or have them denied because the imbecilic administration staff can’t do their jobs. Shirl*y Ch*n and the OSAP office employees are cancerous.
Seriously, don’t go here under any circumstances. This school merely acts as some sort of permanent resident factory for the Punjabi community for Peel Region and that’s about it. You might as well burn your money and go into a coma for 2-3 years instead lmao
I took an environmental program here, and it sucked.
The campus is pretty much India so you’re s**t out of luck if you’re not one of them if you want to make friends, find a girlfriend, etc.
The quality of instructors is fairly low. There are some gems but for the most part they are tyrants. You may not receive any credit for your original work and will be graded such that you cannot further your education after this shithole.
Career prospects are low. It will be almost impossible to find a decent-paying job and you will have no choice other than to pursue further education elsewhere.
Networking opportunities do not exist. There may be the odd local business coming in to have networking events but they are simply recruiting for companies which will offer slave-labour wages for jobs nobody else wants to take.
Do yourself a big favor here and do not register under any circumstance. The only reason people go here, and the only reason it exists, is because it serves as a permanent resident factory for Punjabies in Brampton or Mississauga.
Don’t come here. You may as well burn your money and spend 2-3 years in a coma instead.
The teacher proceeded to criticize and belittle me in front of the entire class about the topic and gave me no chance to defend myself. After attempts to get the professor to drop the topic and start his lecture failed, I left the classroom and submitted a complaint to the faculty office. I met with the Associate Dean I still have relatives that go to that school or I would have put down my actual name.
If you are a white male or woman the school does not care for you, only if you are Sikh or Hindi. Walking into this school is like walking the streets of Bangladesh, horrible and dirty. Stay away from Sheridan college
I didn’t go to Davis, but Sheridan recently moved the Davis kids to HMC for my program in my final year. These people hardly speak English, let alone write. I got stuck in a group of 5 international students, in which they only spoke in Hindi. I pretty much had to strong-arm any international student to actually do their work, which was always done EXTREMELY poorly.
If you are a normal person (straight, conservative, native student) Sheridan will not help you in any way. Sheridan jumps through hoops to protect its International and LGBT students because of the sheer hell that student body can put them through.
Take your hard earned money and go to Humber, you will have a much better time there and they actually care about ALL of their students, including your average Canadian!
The program coordinators aren’t very responsive to new student enquires ether
Stay away from this third world garbage school! Go to a real school and get a real education! F**k Sheridan College!
@SLYTHERINVIXEN
Next time just tell them you’re a minority or part of the LGBTQ community and believe me they’ll jump thru hoops to help you. This school doesn’t care about Canadians but seem to have an obsession with helping every god d**n f***in south Asian immigrant which is about 95% of their students. If you are part of the 5% then Sheridan doesn’t give a rats ass about you. Sad but true..They’re better off moving the whole college to India since that’s the only people they care about. Wear some religious head gear and you’ll instantly become their priority. Garbage school!!!
Students right and responsibilities have violated my students right in 2017 and have left me ingored completely after my suspension.
I do not feel safe with the student affair manger.
Student at the traflgar campus have cyber bullied me online, I cannot file for harrassment on them on the confession page. The college is ingoring me.
I tried to make a complaint on the college was ingored.
Security is not transparent.
I am left stress and enrolling in social serves was the biggest mistake of my life, I was mistreated.
The only resolution that I was told this is myself.
People failed me at trafglar.
Ruined my entire expirenice.
Sheridan is TRASH! I regret EVER attending this poor excuse for a college! If you’re a straight white male then you immediately go to the bottom of their priority list! I contacted their equity and inclusion department to voice my concerns about unfair treatment, but of course they didn’t bother helping me because I’m not important to them! They hire uneducated idiots based on what’s ON their head rather than what’s IN it! The most anti-white, anti- straight male institution in Canada! Stay away from them unless of course you’re one of their favorites (ie: gay, non-white, female). Biggest regret of my life! Who on earth would EVER hire a Sheridan graduate?? I sure as hell wouldn’t! I require at least basic English before I hire anyone! Go to HELL Sheridan college and f#*k you!
I was unaware as a human being I was capable of such distain, and hatred until I attend this “institution”.
Schools are meant to foster a thirst for knowledge, a quest for an answer and to provide students with the tools to do so.
this this is no school, it is nothing more then a soft fraud
PLEASE DO NOT ENROL IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL TECH PROGRAM IT IS A FARCE!
A more appropriate name would be a CHEMICAL TECH
The Courses often reuse units from previous courses, slide for slide, example for example. thus
Although some of the professors have extensive backgrounds in their respective industries the lack the communication skills required to effectively teach.
This culminates with wide spread academic dishonesty that runs unchecked. I have listened to student presentations wherein I was able to locate the exact presentation used…. on another universities website (it was a guest speakers presentation at that uni). In other instances group members have sent me literal screenshots of someone else’s powerpoint slides in an attempt to pass them off as their own.
I have witnessed “students” using smart watches and smart phones during exams, and often simply conversing during the exam with no repercussions.
I have additionally had to sit through several tests and exams where the staff whom are supposed to be patrolling and preventing said cheating have been enjoy a casual chinwag regarding weekend plans…… oblivious to the activities around them.
Finally it is abundantly evident that many of the “teachers” have absolutely no desire to teach. labs start 15-30minutes late consistently yet if you do not finish in time you are docked a considerable percentage. and those running the labs talk down to students as if they where second class citizens.
Words can not even begin to expound as too how embarrassed and disappointed I am to attend this building.
Everyday I attend this”school” my hope diminishes, my confidence crumbles and I truly ask my self what is the point in it all?
This “institution” has broken me, all my progress, all my planning, all my hope….. deflated.
This school is nothing but a loophole for International students to immigrate to Canada! The government should be investigating this! If you want to clear a room in this school, just tell them you’re an immigration officer. It’s all about $$$! Explain to me WHY they are catering to a bunch of non-English speaking south Asians who don’t have a f**king clue about Canada instead of catering to “CANADIANS”?!! Educate and employ CANADIANS first!! Never mind International students! But of course it’s all about $$$$$! Bunch of disgusting f**king pigs!
Hi,
My view is this is one of the worst colleges in the whole world just run by greed and no real care for the students. Runs well by international students who just want to immigrate. Never go for nursing here for small mistakes do the whole semester again and takes money. At the sametime international nurse comes and join hospitals with no problems. Most of the colleges in those countries some you neednot even have to attend while sheridans screws the kids and steals money and put them in debt but back stabing as if doing good.
Dirtiest campus anywhere.
Sheridan college students please stop posting your s**t in a confession page. If you an issues with someone mental health just make a concern.
No one cares for your gossip. The page is actually hurting and impacting students mental well being on campus.
Always a terrible atmosphere, teachers just want a paycheck, smells like crap, avoid Sheridan at all costs. Go to a better college if you want a better experience
Sheridan college is a scam.
Nightmare. Drive the extra 10-15 minutes and go to a college that will make your college experience a positive one.
Awful campus, awful programs, faculty is hit or miss. Can’t believe I wasted a good part of my life there and my program didn’t get me a job. Sad.
Absolute shiiite of a place.
Many of the so called profs cant even speak English, let alone teach. Many of ’em won’t even respond to emails.
Library and study areas are over populated, loud, music blasting and stinks of fast food.
Washrooms are dirty, disgusting and broken.
All cushioned chairs are filthy and stained with God knows what.
You’ll also get forced to take 7pm to 10pm classes, even during Winter terms. 3hr classes then get shrunk into 1.5hrs or even less, ‘coz the profs’ don’t want to be there any more than the students do.
I’ve only written of my first hand experiences and not of any rumours or ‘he said/ she said’
Yhe college promoted a work place position but did not provide one. I cannot complete my diploma. Does not train you for work and the employment service does NOTHING
Please, please, please.
If you want to get knowledge, do not go to this college.
Professors have no fucking idea what they are teaching.
If you want to get knowledge, stay home and learn by yourself, but do not pay this m***********s.
ayayaya
One of the WORST college campuses in terms of women’s safety. The international students who are mostly PUNJABI males aggressively stare, stalk and try to harass female students.
Complaining to the professors or the dean is next to useless as they won’t do anything.
The post down blow are true, carelessness is there in the tone of staffs, administrators, so forth. Students are left frustrated because they wanted money at this campus, when they could go to humber.
Unsupportive, careless staff. Including, professors, advisors. Just all around carelessness for their students.
BEWARE! My college experience has been nothing but a nightmare thanks to Sheridan Colleges Davis Campus Brampton. Absolutely no direction from advisors, that’s if your lucky enough that they even reply to your e-mail and when they do it’s most likely to redirect you to someone who is going to tell you the exact same thing. Better off figuring it out on your own. Don’t expect any help any remotely beneficial advice from any of Sheridan’s professors, advisors, etc
@Sheridan Admin (HMC)
You should be monitoring your school instead of a forum you rancid swine. Davis is disgusting.
I have studied on all three campuses. Personally, I didnt enjoy my time there. International students are exploited. Insurance companies do not cover you. There is little to non control of your schedule. I did not enjoy my time at Sheridan.
Cliquey and smelly
Maybe you are all stupid.
To add to my previous comment – I’m more than willing to pursue legal action against this ‘school’ provided enough other students/former students contact me regarding this. I’m sure we all feel slighted and even scammed to a degree
This school makes money on international students who don’t know better. Having been to U of T (an actual learning institution) I’ve a clear background against which to compare this “school”. The teachers read from prepared slides many of which have been created years before, consist in numerous errors, and are overly simplistic and do not explain anything. You will have an in class assignment on the material you supposedly learned the previous hour, and you will be marked on your partners’ work. The teachers refuse to help you, insisting you should be paying attention during class. They will not give you practice questions (how else are you supposed to grasp math?). Tests will be too long for time allotted (numerous TAs have told me on multiple occasions that not even they were able to finish). You have no or minimal control over your schedule. You’ll have an 8am class and then nothing until 4pm. Many of our tests are 8pm so have fun being there for over 12 hours on those days. And we’re expected to somehow do well under these conditions. Many teachers have no idea how to prepare assignments and tests. In our labs we’re often scolded for making mistakes and we’re too afraid to ask questions. To add to this our labs (which are supposed to teach us our future professions) are rushed because the instructors just want to get on with their day so it seems the point is not to learn about our jobs but to get marked. Maybe I should get a job as a “markee” because getting marked is all I’m learning here.
Upon arriving here I was thrilled seeing how close the proximity the school was to my home. After going to school here I realized trust your gut feeling DOOOOOO NOTTTT GO HERE GO TO SENECA(NEWNHAM),HUMBER(NORTH),GEORGE BROWN OR CENTENNIAL. This school in my opinion is a sham when you need help about finding out certain things like in financial aid the workers there allllll tell you something different they f***** up my osap . Honestly its not a welcoming environment or school. The teachers are either really good or really bad and do not care and are just there for the paycheck. My math teacher read and taught us the slides WHAT ARE YOU GETTING PAID FOR JON LONG????. Honestly the tests were brutal and he did not even try to properly prepare us for them. Overall you have to switch your timetable to have good teachers because alot of the chemical staff at sheridan is mediocre at best alot of them hate working and teaching students and are clearly in the wrong profession.
Mechanical Plumbing technics; I found that the teachers are very unsupportive of the students needs both in theory , Lab classes and surrounding classes. If you take your education seriously take it some place else.
You start school in the Fall and come the following year at least two girls would be 6-9 months pregnant and single. Not the brightest of students and heavy racism in some departments. I would never advise anyone to enrol in certain programs. Administration code of conduct offices I heard and understand they read emails, I heard they racist from black people and white Davis and Oakville Campus …….
not the college experience
Some how less reputable than a public high school. If you’re a native English speaker, prepare to work with lazy, loud and generally stupid people. Sheridan really like promoting group work too, so prepare to be at a severe disadvantage. People blatantly talk during tests, lectures and every possible inappropriate time. If you want to have a decent fighting chance at earning a good mark, steer clear of this campus.
In response to nancy it is like this is in 95% of programs how they get to be a university? the jokes is multiple choice exams.
I don’t understand how Semester 1 math of Practical Nursing is set up. So Basically you need a 90% to pass the course otherwise they hold you back a semester to get this grade . That’s not even the main issue. The issue is that this course is all SELF TAUGHT ! We have actual class maybe every other week for a two hour class. But it’s usually shorter and we learn absolutely nothing. The teacher doesn’t do lectures ??? I don’t get this. No wonder so many people fail. It’s insane. They need to fix this course. It needs actual lectures.
They need to divide the school, for example, Indian students and other foreign students if they are taking a program offered at Mississauga or Oakville Campus even it out and not have all the international students at one college because they feel comfortable within an Indian pro-Indian community. If you hear to learn and develop your language skills how can you attending the campus with 80% Indian South Asian origin? That said I heard horror stories and know of disappointing features to Davis campus. A great percentage of students work under the table illegally. They work 40 and 50 hours to send money home and pay rent and school fees which are triple the amount of Canadian student. Why Candian student who want a part time job sometimes have trouble because these guys work for less under the table. It’s super hard to transfer credits here all they want is cash. Davis is closed down by midnight and after 10 certain areas closed, however, Oakville campus open 24 hours, but its Oakville I guess the reason being people here commit less crime and trouble. That is wrong but people at Davis they don’t care. If I had a choice I would attend Mississauga or Oakville a better reputation
Please be advised this forum is being monitored. Your opinions are your own, however, racist speech affiliated with Sheridan College, including the hate speech of Students, will be reported to Peel Regional Police. As internet savvy people, you know the ISP (thus, account, name, address, etc) can be easily tracked.
The Indian fucking stink and they all try to protect their women like everybody wants them. Nobody wants them . The girls stink too. Amy is right. Not all Pakis stink the sikhs fucking stink international students. All work under the table regular mafia school staff knows they work 60 hours per week , send money home to buy wife ..yeah garbage stock .
Save your money and go elsewhere.
1) Timetables are only sent out the day before classes.
2) Entire school smells like body odour and rotten curry.
3) They want you to fail so you have to repeat a semester $
4) The elective classes fill up forcing you to have to pay to take them during the summer $
5) Parking is atrocious
6) Sheridan is so bad that I tried to transfer my credits (straight As) to Mohawk and was straight up told that Mohawk doesn’t accept Sheridan nursing credits because their program is garbage and I’d have to start over from day 1 if I wanted to go there.
7) Creepy ass dudes everywhere tryna hit on /stalk you around campus.
I heard this guy talking he graduated from university back in 2011 and he wanted to submit courses so he have the academic standing they refused they said courses are too old because some were more than 7 years old. Its university courses as opposed to Sheridan bird course. here is an example where its money no matter what they will break and bend rules to get more money. The computers run really slow . The site sucks for assignments and research work hard to find s**t! The food really expensive I had coupons for Harveys and they refused them telling me they don’t take coupon at campus harveys. A lot of the Indian do smell really bad. That is why they all should stay at Davis. many don’t smell the ones born here but some smell who were born here. I guess its the open toilets they s**t in the streets, beach, the farms the woods. India is the nastiest place in world yet so fascinating with the TAJ . Its a gay school the dances suck large a few good ones though
In the late 80s and early 90s Sheridan was 60% white and the rest other races. today its 90% East Indian THE MAJORITY are Sikhs and many foreign students. The washroom outdated. they keep constant smell of urine and I was told by cleaners the girls washroom is worse. The women might not want to plant their BUMS on seat so urine and fecas falls on floor and lids and they leave it. The people smell really bad I don’t want to sound mean. I learned that SIKHS do not use perfumes or deodorant. They smell of sweat. The international students and other Indian students they work to pay students fees. Sheridan loves International students more money for them so if they stink they don’t care. My program not offered at OAKVILLE. I cried so bad at reaiity it sinks in the 2nd week. You feel like going around with a mask the body odour men and women. They all work 60 hours a week. they cannot write good essays or speak proper English. How do they pass? We have some blacks most of them don’t smell but one or two Africans the fucking body odour just like the Indians. the Jamaicans are alright they like to copy your work. Not the brightest but seriously the pakistani are just as dumb even dumber. Yeah you will find a smart Indian and black person. you will find the odd Indian who don’t stink they are really nice. Oakville different its nice mix of people not too bad on smell. when someone stinks it’s either a Asian or Indian at Oakville and if Indian he just taking 1 credit here his home campus is Brampton. The food sucks at Davis you want to kill someone take him to Indo hot and order the wings ..they closed that place down for rats few years ago. The back just filthy but you can watch video on internet and they will tell you that these people in rural areas don’t have toilets they bathe in rivers. the city dirty and unsanitary they a temple they worship rats and its full of millions of rats. irs really gross. i never knew it was so bad. Stay away form Indian girls some are really pretty the honour killings crazy Indian guys try to control them. The good thing is when I go out to club you never see these people. Yeah Sheridan racist! I am white I see that. the basketball team number 1 in CANADA but they play all home games at davis campus. they should be at main campus Oakville. They fired a black teacher they said she spread hate around campus she didn’t she is a good lady. + You cannot speak your mind they could suspend you what I am doing cannot talk like that on campus or send a message to anyone i BE IN trouble. Its a school you come for easy diploma or degree in most areas. Some you need to study. If i was to go I go to Oakville ultimately Oakville sucks too ..The security guards they seem like perverts. Its a fucked up college go to Humber or Seneca
This is probably the worst college in Ontario.
Why are professors making us buy the textbooks when they’ll only be opened once or twice or not at all the whole semester? It makes no fucking sense whatsoever and it’s bullshit.
The professors here are mostly willing to help but one sticks out like a sore thumb. My web design professor threatened to deduct marks off my assignment because she couldn’t find my assignment in the zip file which apparently had too many files in them. How the f**k are you gonna deduct marks because you’re an incompetent piece of s**t professor
The amount of cheaters in the school is also really high. If caught, there is a huge chance that the professor might not do anything about it!
the campus itself, it looks like s**t and not well maintained. Lounge area looks and smells like s**t with uncleaned couches, electronic plugs sometimes don’t work and dirty washrooms in certain buildings of the school.
Overall, this if you’re looking for a great college experience, then you’re certainly not getting it here
This school is not great, I mean if your looking to drive around for parking and wait an entire month to receive you OSAP then go for it! Honestly though, LOOK AT OTHER SCHOOLS!!!
STAY CLEAR! This college is all about money and not educating their students. They want students to fail so they have to repeat courses and pay further fees. Run as fast as you can it is the worst school ever!!!!!
As a new student, i am pleased with the college atmosphere? and environment . The staff is very supportive and create new opportunities for students…?……
Just don’t even think of attending this school. Worst place so far in Canada. Typical rip-off college.
i plugged ethernet cable 2 my computer and it installed bonzi bunddy. this school is worse than school in india where ppl s**t the street, see u at mcdonalds
This review is strictly based on the Davis campus library. Rather than receiving a warning, my friends and I were kicked out of the study room because we were told that we should’ve known the rules before booking the room. Upon further research, we realized that we had not broken any rules and that we had gotten kicked out for no apparent reason. The security guards clearly do not have anything better to do as they were giving us an extremely hard time when we asked to stay in the room. Security guards are on some sort of power trip and need to stop acting like a******s.
DO NOT GO TO THIS COLLEGE. I would not recommend you to go to this college. I am in my 4th semester doing Mechanical Engineering Technology and hating it so far. The teachers absolutely do not know anything what they’re teaching. Only a few of them are good. The amount of cheaters and ridiculously high. Every time I had an exam, there was at least 1, who used a cellphone. And guess what happened during my midterm. The professor said you can use your cellphone during the midterm but only use the calculator app. What kind of student is only going to use the calculator app during the exam? Exactly no one. During my second semester, someone was caught cheating with a phone and guess what the teacher did? Absolutely nothing and said not to do it again. Even the teachers are not enforcing the college rules.
During the lectures, almost all of the professor at Sheridan College spend their time with their stories and can barely explain anything. I had one prof who couldn’t even speak loudly.
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN. DO NOT GO TO THIS COLLEGE.
Their IT is a joke.
Although it’s a nice environment, and professors are really approachable and helpful, the Chemical Engineering Technology program sucks! Some of the first semester courses have absolutely nothing to do with the program, like Cultures in the Workplace, and Electricity. Like honestly, what the heck! Furthermore, professors can be really demanding and it’s really overwhelming. I’d have 5 Unit tests in one week 90% of the time and professors won’t consider and alternatives.
Someone here made a comment about ethnicity; how “foreing students” apparently make up the “majority” of students at Sheridan. THIS IS FALSE.
First, provincial law limits the number of foreign students. Sheridan takes advantage of this limit to the fullest extent much like all other Canadian schools to maximize their profits.
Second, the reason there appears to be a lot of “visible minorties” is not because they are foreign, it is because (1) the Mississauga and Brampton locations are close to communities that have a larger visible minority population AND the majority of these visible minorities are BORN IN CANADA – just like me. As Canada grows, there are many 2nd and 3rd visible minorties BORN in CANADA, paying the same ripp-off taxes and tuition just like you. So get over it. We don’t bite. Unless you want us to!
Do not send your kids to this school. This school practices the “flipped classroom” model – that means, they do not lecture at all. Students read the textbook on their own, then come to class to play silly activities, discussions. Students are tested on the textbook material. Therefore, Sheridan gets away with charging you the same cost of tuition of other schools, while to not actually teaching their students anything. Also, note, Sheridan courses, even degree courses, are not accepted as equivalents at any other university in Ontario. Keep that in mind, if your child tells you they plan to do just a year at Sheridan to get their GPA up, then transfer to a more reputable educational institution.
In a nutshell, in terms of degree programs, this school is no different than an online university. If you are disciplined enough to learn on your own, you can do well by not having to attend all classes. THis is one advantage and this is possible. However, if you are not disciplined enough to self-teach (likely you/the student is not, otherwise they would already be at a more reputable and real university) they flunk out!! Sheridan would then have successfully stolen your money too!
Sheridan(any campus) only care about money, first off you can only pay for parking with change , there is no change machine anywhere and if u ask the bookstore for change they tell you you have to buy something… And no the thousands of dollars you’ve spent on tuition and books from the bookstore don’t count…..absolutely ridiculous on a second note for any of my 3 hour classes ALL my teachers like taking a 45 mins break in between….. If we have time for 45 minute break might as well have a 2hour class only but of course not they want you to pay for parking while you sit in class for your almost 1 hour break…staff is not helpful in any way and they do not help you with anything unless you are persistent they’ll eventually help you so u can leave then alone. The other students are generally nice though no complaints about my peers
I am currently attending the animal care program and I am loving it. The courses are informative and the professors are very knowledgeable and are wanting you to succeed. I am not going to lie, some classes are tough but for the most part the professors are open to helping you outside class time. You get a lot of hands on experience working with the cats and dogs in the animal centre and you have a 2 week field placement at the end of the year to give you practical experience. The campus, I am not to happy about, its loud and smelly.. and they do not have mozza sticks (you have been warned!). Overall I highly recommend the program to anyone who in interested in starting out in a career with animals.
My biggest issue with Sheridan as a whole is the staff. Myself studying business in Human Resources think that the staff should take some of the courses I’m taking. Personally I’ve struggled with health issues (cancer and autoimmune disease). For anyone who has any kind of disability or health issue, this is NOT the school for you. The staff are neglectful, uneducated and useless. If you miss classes or need to drop them, you loose your money. It doesnt matter if you’re on chemo and having multiple life saving surgeries. They take your money and there is no getting it back. I’ve been struggling to get a education for a long time but sheridan doesnt modify or even attempt to make exceptions. The students are all very “highschool” in the way that they haven’t grown up yet. The age group seems to be younger and doesnt vary in age groups. In terms of classes and education, its okay. I went to college because I wanted it to be hands on. Some classes are good, but others are dry and all theory. You have to pick your profs wisely because some have such a strong accent that you don’t understand them. You also might get profs who just don’t show up to their own classes! Sheridan uses a online program called “slate” to communicate to your prof, class and show the class courseload and lessons online. Slate is highly overrated, is a disorganized mess with a failed system that is constantly wrong. It will tell you that you’re failing a class when you’ve gotten straight A’s. It will say you failed a online test and then your prof has to tell you it was a tech error. Half of the assignments you can’t download. The housing is horrible and they don’t make any effort to have planned activities or events. Overall the school looks more like a jail than a school. Even if you are a healthy student ready to learn- don’t go here. Unless you have a liking for bullys and pervs for class mates, poor lessons, horrible staff and absent housing. Overall this school was worse than highschool. It has reincarnations of Regina George everywhere and the male ego reaches a new high on the basketball team. Apply somewhere else if you want a education and a drama free college.
Having been to other colleges and university, I’m here taking an advance diploma. My program was the SDNE[Software Development and Network Engineering]. I am not impressed at all. There are a lot of pointless filler courses, and the whole thing seems like a waste of money. You can learn programming better on Udemy, Coursera, and Youtube than what most profs here teach. My advice is to just try to get into coop, and then leave to pursue industry certifications or do an actual degree. And do as much studying on your own as you can, you will need it.
The teachers here, at least for the intro courses are sub-par..and most of them don’t really like teaching because they’re part-time and not paid well. The students are mostly international, not domestic. Nothing wrong with international students or anything, but as someone who doesn’t speak the language, it can be a bit hard to fit in or make friends due to the language barriers. But they’re nice students and generally pretty welcoming.
I was not a fan of the administration at all-I found a lot of things boiled down to the bottom line-to make money at the expense of students. And to bombard you with really pointless unnecessary courses that you don’t need. My advice is to do the challenge exams for those if you can, and save at least $500 per course.
As for parking and transit, those are in close availability, as is housing.
If anyone wants to talk about SDNE and my thoughts about the program, feel free to message. But after this semester I’m probably just going to pursue industry certifications because that’s a better use of money than a diploma from this college.
It’s not as bad as people make it. Now I’m not going to turn this into a racist topic, I could careless what ethnicity or race my peers are.
This school is known for their foreign program so the majority of students here are from other countries(mostly indian also significant asians and africans). Obviously this isn’t a problem, the only issue I find is making new friends due to the language barriers. If you aren’t very social then that wouldn’t matter.
From my experience the professors were nice and helpful. If you’re someone that’s just focused on getting your education then I think this school is fine. From my experience most students in my class were there to get their diploma and move on.
It’s a very tame place, if you’re looking for an outgoing social life with that lively college experience then this isn’t the best choice. This place has a relaxed environment and it’s very easy going. It’s okay, especially if you’re looking for something closer to home.
Overall: I’d recommend
I’m just finishing my first semester, but it feels like I’ve been there forever. From what I’ve noticed this far, it is rather multicultural to say the least. It’s not as bad as some of the reviews say it is though. The smell is only ever noticed in the elevators and in line for Tim Horton’s from what I’ve noticed. Most of the staff I’ve met have all been very friendly. However, I do issue a word of caution. If you are in the Social Service Work program in the future and you notice a Nancy Reeves as your TEACHER (refuse to call her a professor) try and get that class switched to another. My reasons are: She’s hard to understand (thick African accent), she is extremely unorganized as her SLATE page looks like it went through a blender, she can’t spell at all! It’s actually kind of funny, but she critiques our grammar and spelling when her incompetence is out of the question. She’s extremely defense as calling her results in her saying “Who has a Master’s degree in social? Me or you?”…this was said in response to a student, who responded by saying “actually, the correct way of saying that would be you, or I”…I’m not kidding. She professes her. Christianity to the point where it’s unacceptable. She is rude, unprofessional, an incompetent to teach. Students have reported their concerns, but I do not have the time, nor should I make time to make a formal complaint, followed by a hearing (I’m sure) to back up said claims. She is the only major complaint I have for this institution…She claims to be in a PhD. S.W. program, I find that hard to believe, unless TriOs is giving out PhD’s now?
I attended this school for animal care. The teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly. I have no problem with them. The school on a whole is disgusting. If you are a female, watch out. Pervs everywhere. I couldn’t study alone in the library or upper floor computer areas without some random guy approaching me every.single.time. SUPER annoying! GUYS, girls do not like this, PLEASE STOP! Also, in the summertime this whole school smells like one big dirty armpit. Watch out for the Indian music and SUPER LOUD Indian people while youre in class trying to learn. You’ve been warned.
Faculty are generally good, assistant deans and deans are awful… they’ve taken away faculty offices and teaching resources in order to save money for when they become a 3rd rate university…
I got enrolled in Sheridan College back in September 2014. My program was computer programming and it is a two-year diploma. Personally I think that this college is extremely overrated, considering the money they charge.
Here are the positives and negatives about Sheridan College (Davis campus):
Positives:
– Some professors are good. You have to pick these professors for your classes, if you are to learn anything.
– The campus is pretty safe overall. There is no gang violence or anything like that.
– The campus is pretty big and it is kind of beautiful.
– Plenty of restaurants and other stores nearby.
– Sheridan College has its own bus shuttle. Public buses are also available, so there is virtually no major transportation problem.
Negatives:
– Some of the professors don’t deserve to teach. They are probably not bad human beings, but they just can’t teach effectively. Some of these professors don’t even know how to use SLATE (the platform they use to upload notes and assignments) effectively.
– Sheridan College charges much higher fee compared to some other colleges. I don’t quite understand how can they charge this much, considering they are not a university. You can possibly get similar education at many other community colleges for much lower fees.
– They do not accept credit card or cash. Only thing they accept is debit card, which I find completely absurd. It is a pain on the backside to pay tuition fee at Sheridan College.
– Lectures are nothing special. You are not going to be job-ready, if you just follow Sheridan lectures. You have to do your own studying. Only thing Sheridan will give you is a paper, that says you have completed formal education.
– Apparently if you want to contact Sheridan College about information, you will have to call them. They do not list email addresses on their website. I find that pretty absurd, because not everyone likes to call.
Overall, I give this college and also the campus 2 out of 5. I think you can get similar education at other colleges for much lower fees.
Sheridan is the worst school ever. At Sheridan all they care about is money. They do not value their domestic students but they are always very fast to help international students out with anything they want. Fee goes up every year in September and same thing with the parking. There is no more visitor parking at the campus and evening parking is not free anymore. The security can not be rude anymore. The dean (well, when was the last time he helped any domestic student out anyway) is so not supportive. The people at advisement center give me the impression that they are being forced to work at Sheridan. The record specialists are only good at saying “Hello, bye”. The hallways and the library is more like an Indian Punjabi school where most of the time you will hear Punjabi bhangra music. it gets worst during the exams when teachers have to get out in the hallways to ask those international students to take their party elsewhere. Some teachers have thick accents and are very hard to understand. This review is based on my personal experience at the campus. if you ask me weather i will recommend this school to anyone, my answer would be a big NO. save your carrier and money and go to a better school
WORST ANIMAL CARE PROGRAM IN THIS COUNTRY!!!! the teachers are knowledgeable. the problem is this whole SLATE bullshit. on multiple occasions I will either not be told about assignement, but be expected to check SLATE, or will get missed when handing out assignments in class than the teachers will not respond when i try to ask them for a new one…
these teachers DO NOT COMMUNICATE!!!! they come for class, and thats it. they do not help you in any way shape or form. like its my first year in university, this is quite confusing and they do not care!! :(
This is going to be an ongoing review. Im a “3rd Year” transfer students from a 3 year business diploma. Im attending the Pilon School of Business and in the BBA program at the HMC campus. So far I took a few courses in the summer. They made the transfer students take first and second year courses because there are currently no 3rd Year courses available for them to take. Instead of being honest and straightforward they are making the students pay more money and spend more time. So far the courses are very simplistic. They also make everyone take two courses called Creative Learning Portfolios which are not worth any CREDITS! They must be taken if you want to graduate lol. They are easy courses about reflecting and critical thinking. If you want to transfer from a diploma or degree I would say stay away for now. The campus is very nice but too small. No student life, just one or two nice clubs. Professors are amazing though. At least the ones I had. Anyways I’ll keep you posted!
It co ordinaries don’t take responsibility in anything ..all these trial programs are run with student s hard earned money and when you want to transfer your credits after you are done .. They all put thier hands in the air and just say it wasn’t in our hands and it makes sense to study at sheridan when they offer degrees now too .. And they don’t tell you that the degree doesn’t qualify as pre requisite for masters degree. Shitty professors. Shitty record specialists.
It is absolutely the worst school to go to. They have screwed me over with Banking and wealth management program. I don’t know who was dumb enough to create a program like banking and weakth management .. It doesn’t qualify as advance diploma or it’s credits don’t get taken at anyy university and it’s the saame freaking program as finance. When I wanted to take more classes they said they are cancelling the whole program and mixing it with finance and can’t offer classes anymore. And the last hope i had was to apply nippising university though the partnership so i can take advantage of all these fucking credits that I have done they said they cancelled the partnership too. ? like how greedy are you going to be with this do more years at sheridan with higher fees. Don’t go to sheridan college.
It’s no wonder I have such issues applying for a job with them. DESPITE THE FACT I HAVE ALL THE QUALIFICATIONS THEY LOOK FOR, THEY STILL WILL NOT HIRE ME BECAUSE I GUESS THEY HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE IN THEIR FORMER STUDENTS. GOES TO SHOW JUST HOW IMCOMPETENT THEIR HUMAN RESOURCE STAFF REALLY IS..UNEDUCATED, DUMB AS ROCKS, IMCOMPETENT STAFF!! SCREW YOU SHERIDAN COLLEGE!!! YOU HAVE FAILED TO PREPARE MYSELF OR ANY OF YOUR STUDENTS FOR THE REAL WORLD..MICKEY MOUSE PIECE OF CRAP COLLEGE!!
I usually dont do these things but after 2 years of the Animation program at Trafalgar I want to help some people out. This program costs over 10k a year and to be honest it is a complete rip off. OUTDATED TEACHERS teaching kids software and have no idea what in the world theyre talking about. It literally takes 10 minutes of youtube to understand the concepts of a 3h class where they repeat theyre steps to 30 people all the time….The curicculum is a MESS with all these classess forced on to you – you have to be good at every single aspect of an animation studio with minumim time investment (painting, layout, life drawing, 3d software and more). It’s just ridiculous, this school was my dream but after 2 years I’m very disapointed and seriously looking for a cheaper degree where i can spend a lot more time on actually getting good by myself. If you are international – please find something else Art Center in Pasadena would probably be your best option if u wanna learn anything
In the practical nursing program the placements are horrible if you live in Oakville they will place you in Vaughn or Toronto. And there are no ifs and or buts about where you get placed is where you go you cant fight it or switch. They are inconsiderate and do not care about individual situations. All they want is money if you fail one course you repeat the whole semester and pay your fees again waste of 3000 dollars. I dont and will never recommend sheridan for nursing go anywhereelse
I currently study Practical Nursing at Sheridan College. I was thrilled to get accepted to this school. It has many opportunities for international and domestic placements and transfer agreements with universities. If you are looking to further your education past a college degree, Sheridan is an excellent choice. I found the tuition at Sheridan to be fairly expensive but that is to be expected from a school in the GTA. Overall, the classes are good, the school is well kept and the campus is nice. The teacher/student ratio is pretty awful for some of my classes though, that’s my only complaint. Overall a very good college.
does Sheridan offer Master’s degree courses in advertising and marketing and what is the placement status…really wanna know
I have heard that they are failing international students for no reason.Is it true?
It WAS a good school when I went for Animal Care, decided to apply again for Vet Tech. Sheridan’s standards are fucked up, especially for those who really wanted to get that diploma, I couldn’t get in… twice. Why doesn’t Sheridan College just change it’s name already to Sheridan University. I couldn’t find a job in my own field so now I am seeking a different career path. Sheridan you suck and you do not prepare your students at all for the real world. Will never apply again. I’m sure my dreams will come true one day but as long as you apply to Sheridan, they probably won’t. I would have applied to a different school that offers Veterinary Technician but Sheridan is the only school that is within my reach. Very disappointed.
Reviews are a way to express one’s feelings on something, so here is mine. Sheridan College Davis Campus, I applied here for 2014, and I decided to enroll in Community and Justice Services. The school accepted me with menial testing requirements. Happiness engulfed me until I went to the school to investigate and see the atmosphere. The school, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, is quite ghetto, and when I say ghetto, I don’t mean black people I just mean it’s lower class. I’m not impressed by fancy things, but if my high school is bigger and cleaner something is wrong. The students, most students who attend are immigrants, and mostly are Indian. The teachers, sad to admit but some of the staff don’t believe in their students, and if I can see this in one day… imagine two. The surroundings, the campus seems safe no hooligans stealing things or robbing people, but they’re fights… I know, primitive. All in all, do what you must, and do it fast is my advice; take it or leave it. By NOB
Sheridan college has been a great learning experience for me however I do find issues with the teachers some are fantastic minus the handful that seem to be in every program that have favoritism. my teacher flat out ignored my table for the 3 hours of class because she did not like on of the girls sitting at my table. juvenile and immature are not the qualities I expected from my college professors.
Nice school bad students above
A class action lawsuit alleging a Toronto college misled students about what they would get out of a business program has received certification from a judge to proceed.
Two former students of George Brown College’s international business management program allege it didn’t have the ability to confer the industry designations it promised. They launched the lawsuit in October 2008, seeking $10 million in damages and an Ontario Superior Court judge has now certified it as a class action suit representing 119 former students.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
The students say they paid as much as $11,000 to attend the eight-month program. The calendar said the program would provide students with “the opportunity to complete three industry designations/certifications” in addition to a graduate certificate from the college, according to the students’ statement of claim.
Upon completion they learned they wouldn’t be receiving the industry designations referred to in the course calendar, the students allege. In his decision, Justice George R. Strathy said most students would have read the calendar description and that the prominence given to the industry designations would suggest they were significant.
“A class action will provide access to justice to a vulnerable group of students, many of whom are from different lands and culture,” Strathy wrote. “Class members may lack the individual resources, initiative and sophistication to pursue legal action on their own and may be intimidated by the legal process.”
Of the 119 former students, 78 were international students who don’t live in Canada — most of them coming from either China or India.
The Canadian Press
I have made reasonable attempts to mitigate my damages and that in the course of mitigating damages I have incurred expenses
That is terrible. Are you sure your not just another failed student like all those that complain on this terrible forum.
The Electrical Techniques pre-trade at the Skills Training Centre is the WORST PROGRAM ever created. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY THERE !! Just go and find an apprenticeship instead taking this useless piece of crap. The teachers does not know what they are doing and the majority of the stuff you’re learning you can learning from an electrician ten times better.
I was in the Community & Justice Services program for a SEMESTER, not even a year and I hated it. I hated the professors and how everything was handled. The professors didn’t care about you at all and they weren’t considerate. Thank God I start a new College in August and spared myself all that money. PLUS I failed three classes and never got a phone call or anything saying they kicked me out of the program which is really unprofessional. I never got to talk to a counsellor about why I failed my classes or anything. Both me and my mother we’re pissed because at the time I was going through a lot of family emergencies and deaths over midterms and the inconsiderate professors made it worse. I hated it there. AND THE FITNESS GYM AND CAFETERIA ARE EXPENSIVE AS F**K. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO SHOPPERS WORLD FOR FOOD.
Great place! Learned lots of new things and made new friends!
I’m in a course now which requiree placement and I have been placed so far away from my home that i will be away for a total of 13hrsx4days. Even the teachers don’t work that many hrs and who the hell is going to pay me for gas for travelling so far. These things are not told at the time of admission and the worst part is kept for the last. These idiots have no consideration when they do such a thing to a student. I have no job and kids are going to be on summer vacation and plus baby sitting cost. sOme of the teachers are so rude when they talk. so please be careful when you think of joining this hell.
good
i am an international student,please suggest a college for computer course, basically a ug diploma in computers ASAP
the comments above are dsheartning since i was planning to join sheridan
Originally enrolled for System Analyst and Programming, ended up as Computer System Technology… they changed the course title. Teacher use youtube to teach, so save your money and sit at home and watch the training on youtube. Some teacher are ok, rare ones are fantastic but overall, it’s full of sh.. I tried very hard to learn by myself to catch up with unorganized courses sequence for each year of the program. If it wasn’t the same instructor teach you the continuation courses for the coming year, you will totally get screwed up by the next professor. It seems like they had no communication of any kind, they assume on everything… nothing is clear to them. 1st year one instructor teach you ABC, the semester after they expect you to write a poem (if you know what I mean). It’s all messed up. I learnt about 30% of what I supposed to know by the end of the program, the rest I learnt by myself (watch tutorial online).
I have got admission in Project management course in McHazel campus. Can somebody advise how the course is and the college environment. Is it the same as Davis campus? I am bit worried after reading all these reviews. Please help
Very unprofessional, letter grades are given instead of precent grades, which are far too vague for anybody who likes to be on top of what the actual mark they are being given is. They are extremely money grabby as far as I am concerned. I was told I owed them money but when I inquired, they couldn’t figure out what I owed them for, but suggested that I pay them anyway! The teachers do not give structured lessons but instead rely on powerpoint and slideshows to do their jobs for them. I was required to take an english course that was “taught” by the most unprofessional woman ever, she never taught a lesson, but instead vaguely skimmed through 100 slide powerpoints with brief explanations, and it was our jobs to get the powerpoint off the server and read it ourselves later and figure out the material. The teachers I had to deal with were rude and did tend to pick on students and if mistakes were made the students were mocked, whether it was in “good fun” or not, that is not appropriate behaviour. Very rude faculty!
To get high marks in Sheridan not only do you have to study hard but you also have to be an ass kisser to the instructors and also some of the courses in the propgrams are not realated to the program but still mandotory which is like a big what the f**k momment to everyone. Plus most of the instructors are part timers that teach in high schools, universities and their is this one instructor that owns her own buisness which means she is a greedy mother f****r. Also there is this other instructor who only teaches one course and he is a third year student who is in coop meaning he gets paid two times good money which makes him a greedy m**********r.
Sheridan college is terrible all the instructors are a bunch of greedy m***********s that care about money and they cant teach properly and the instructors are not that helpfull so I reccomend any one thinking of going to Sheridan College dont do it you will save alot of money.
Great college, great teachers. Did I go to a different school than all the other posters here?
Class sizes are fine. Friendly teachers, nice facility. I’m in January start Art Fundies, I’m half way through and so far it’s a great course. Yes, a lot of us are way ahead in the arts, but even in a fundamentals course we still learn a lot. I would recommend to anyone who thinks they’re way ahead of the game who just needs to brush up on art, take life drawing. Most useful course.
Overall, brilliant school.
If you ever go to the Student Advisement area, beware of rude staff members. Especially this one lady who is old and is just a horrible person to come to a problem with, no matter how nice you are. EVEN IF YOU ASK NICELY, SHE STILL goes fucking berserk on you.
The school sis alright, don’t expect nothing. Not much diversity, a lot of brown people. Although it’s still growing, they should focus on making the quality of education rather than the interior designing of their new additions.
If you can, Humber is probably better, go there.
OH s**t!!! i was going 2 apply for one of there programs and am international student!o_0 … thanks god they didnt even answer my email LOL i can tell it’s a s**t place!
guyz u’ve no idea how much ur comments are valuable thanks all
Horrible teachers!
Stay away from this college. You can tell they are well funded by the government, but it has very poor administration. The financial aid office is a complete NIGHTMARE, they are more interested in getting the tuition from students that go to the school, then helping anyone.
Yes they had a good animation program IN THE EARLY 90’s. Now it’s a shadow of that. All the good teachers are gone, the program has not evolved. Disney does not recruit from there anymore (nobody does), those days are over, but Sheridan will ride that rep right into the ground taking all the money it can on the way. In fact most of the teachers there now are former students that failed in the industry and needed a job. Anyways back to the financial aid office.
I paid for the tuition out of my own pocket…that’s when everything went down hill as if I already paid tuition, then the Financial Aid office doesn’t care about anything else. I was hoping OSAP would help with my living fees. It took Sheridan 3 months and being treated like crap every time I walk into the financial aid office like I was bothering them by asking questions. 3 MONTHS well in school just to tell me I would not receive anything. It took a person all of 5 minutes to look at the numbers and tell me, and they could not be bothered doing that for 3 months. I was practically threatened to be kicked out if I questioned the Financial aid office and it’s horrible practices.
I loathe this school, if you want to be treated like a number and sheep being herded, Sheridan is the place for you.
Stay away from the graduate programs at Sheridan. You will spend between 12,000 and 24,000 dollars for an education that Youtube can give you in a weekend. Horrible structure, horrible classes, horrible teachers. Save your money and get your education at VFS. Sheridan is not what it once was!!
I just finished my Degree in Animation in April. Although I can’t blame Sheridan for the weak job market I can say that its “great reputation” no longer exists. The whole school is keyed toward filling every seat and taking as much money as possible and not about putting out top of the line professionals. Its a shame because half of the teachers are fantastic, but they have to cater to the 125 students coming in every year (maybe half of which actually have the chops to be there and the rest are just filling the quota). Another thing, no one fails. By that I mean there is no way to fail this program except by failing one of the idiotic breadth electives which, by definition of a breadth elective, can have nothing to do with what you’re studying. But whatever, that’s Ontario’s standard. The point is that no matter how lazy, uncreative, and disrespectful you are, you get a Degree. So where does that leave me? The guy who worked his ass off for this piece of paper that we’re just handing out? I leaves me with very little is what it does. Great. The whole program (and the whole school) needs to be gutted and reorganized, but even the staff that would love to make positive change have to jump through so many hoops that it’ll never happen. Last thing, any statistics they’re throwing at you are made up. There’s no way to track half the information they’re claiming, its all about cramming enough people into that building that they turn a profit and if they flood the market with too many artists, I guess its not their problem.
I went to Sheridan for four years, one three year program and one post grad. I found that the courses didn’t prepare me for the work force at all. I was told to get additional computer training to become employable in my industry. The majority of the instructors had huge egos and we’re not very approachable and often played favourites. All that I learned to make me employable I learned on my own and worked very hard in intern positions and self study to get to where I am today. Sheridan needs better instructors who leave their design egos at home before coming to teach AND better preparation for the real world.
this is a terrible school the teachers there are s**t my recomendation is avoid this school at all cost trust me you will be saving your money.
ps f**k sheridan davis campus
Sheridan Meida Fundamentals:
at $3.500 for ‘prospective media arts’ students to gain experiance
for the 3rd year Media Arts Program? Wasted my cash & time for imovie?
I advise prospective students to avoid Sheridan!
Took the canadian securities course volume 1 & 2 at the trafalgar campus. Volume 1 was taught by redge and was pretty satisfying. The volume 2 was taught by \’Karen Baker\’ and i cant describe how disappointing it was. No matter what you do pls do not enroll with karen baker. The women does not know how to teach. Any question you ask is either answered incorrectly or by saying that its not related to the course. Her way is too confusing and she is all over the place. I ended up missing most of the classes cos i just didnt feel like going anymore. seemed like a waste of time.
Don’t bother with animation. You’re better off just learning it yourself and putting together a demo reel. You will save yourself four pointless years and get the same job anyway, you’ll just have less debt. Plus, you know what they say about those who teach. Sheridan’s teachers aren’t exactly at the top of their profession, they’re people who couldn’t hack it.
sheridon brampton sucks..badly… d most pathetic college.. no future dere..
I am currently enrolled in Computer Engineering Technician at the Davis (Brampton) campus. I started back in September of 2010, I cannot describe how disappointing this program has been. There is a huge communication barrier between the teachers and the students. I have had nothing but troubles trying to find extra help to get by in the programs, I will admit im not the fastest learner out there. But im always willing to give an effort and try my best. 2 of my professors struggle with speaking english, to me this is extremely unacceptable. At this point I am lost and I am about to give up and go elsewhere. I have tried to interact with upper management and they dont believe anything is wrong and side with the teachers. Very disappointed with my experience thus far, considering Niagara College as an alternative.
Something needs to be done to improve the teaching faculty!
The place is run like a mafia. And it is a mafia, beware attending this place. If you decide to argue your marks, you had better be ready with a lawyer because the Dean in the Brampton Location will side with the teachers no matter what. A student did get his/her way once but the person had to use a recording device to get the evidence. Then the professor tried to rally the other professors to have that student expelled.
You know, I’m smart enough to do well in a any fair situation, someone from a middle class family like myself.
Can I give this a half a star?
I go to Sheridan for Electro-mechanical engineering. Originally started the program at Humber, completed first year and then dropped out. Transferred to Sheridan 2 years later.
GO TO HUMBER
If you are trying to decide between these two colleges, pick Humber. The teachers I had at Humber were professional, and actually care about the subjects that they teach, and they teach them well.
This past year at Sheridan I have encountered the worst teachers in my experience as a student. Teachers that use poorly organized online resources as the focus their teaching.
At Humber you have theory classes, with competent teachers, and then labs, where you get to actually get your hands dirty.
At Sheridan they had you a Kit of electrical equipment, electrical diagrams and expect the students to learn through trial and error.
SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE.
I’m no slouch, I’m lucky i did a year at humber so I have some useful information to recall in labs. I feel bad for the guys in my classes who feel as though they’ re not bright enough for the material, when in fact its a result of Sheridan’s poor teachers.
Comment is, if you get A’s 80% of the time and you outright fail with another faculty member at the Sheridan institute of Nursing, consistently and every time, regardless? That is the professionalism I have come to expect from exactly 20% of the Sheridan Nursing faculty members.
Heavy favoritism, the vague 1 on 1 oral tests worth 15% of your final or more that is nearly impossible to prove or disprove the fact if this teacher did what he/she is supposed to be doing?
The only defense and it is working so far are the students using secret hidden video’s and audio recordings.
It works and there are over 30 of us monitoring our teachers now, but only when we believe we are being cheated in this way, as it is the law when you suspect wrongdoing. This year and last, some of us have proved these facts and the Dean has had no choice in reprimanding them as well as barring them from that class.
One idea of mine is that we should be able to demand on any reasonable grounds that an oral test be accompanied by an impartial witness who knows the test and can appeal and demand a test redo when this teacher isn’t following the rules. Usually a former student will do.
I don’t care why it’s being done, just the fact that it is rather shameful. I lost a semester already and it’s not going to happen again.
BTW, the Dean is unsympathetic to any students plight. Any injustice written to this person is immediate forwarded back to the teachers your accusing making them aware that you are complaining of them. The person doing it would have been outright failed if the person wasn’t recording his or her classes AGAIN! However, disciplinary measures were implemented to those teachers who tape recorded and presented to her.
The damage is done, there is a group of us who want their lost semester back. The evidence is mounting and some of us are thinking about going to the media. Do what you will with this story. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sheridan sucks yo
I am a media arts graduate, and a Post Graduate
of the advanced film program. Sheridan College is
world famous for the CGI animation & film program.
But the reality is the jobs for graduates are very
few, if any at all!!
Sheridan college pitches a good game, but they fall
really short in networking students for jobs.
The IATSE 667 Camera Training program, is such a rip
off for students. IATSE has rejected plenty of sheridan grads,with this useless certificate. I would
suggest applying to Nabet 700 CEP, as a permittee.
Sheridan left me unemployed,with no support after graduation.
Your better off renting a camera/gear from Sim
Video,for example. And doing your own short film
editing on Final Cut Pro, entering film video festivals , networking with other independent
filmmakers at LIFT or the Canadian Film Centre.
Your bank balance will be better off, so will your
piece of mind. Which is worth much more than a useless diploma from Sheridan!
