” Website needs to update scholarships and bursaries regularly! Thank you! Over half of them are from previous year and this can be super misleading. “

” This school is nothing but a money pit, the lack of care they take in their students is deplorable- prepare to waste three years of your life only to be turned away from your major through the excuse of “we’ll put you on a waiting list” and on the waiting list you’ll be stuck on for the next two years- absolutely stupid. What’s the point in fixing your portfolio and taking more classes to boost your GPA when you’re still going to be put on a waiting list regardless. Fix your system. Enough is enough and stop disregarding your design and animation students. “

” Fantastic staff, fantastic professors, a great community, and a great atmosphere of creativity. Only massive issue is the administration doesn’t seem to have much respect for the students and other staff. Professors are overworked, students constantly struggle to get paperwork and finances dealt with through admin, and the school is working to phase out the design and animation programs that make up a large portion of the student body and interest in the school. Felt very disrespected as a design student by these decisions and by the school management while I was a student. Otherwise, I love the courses I took, the people I learned from, and the people I met. Character Design Alumni of 2022. “

” Offers really unique courses compared to other post secondary institutions. Professors are all very nice, and campus is fun to be on. “
