They've quite literally cut all the geology classes, and rarely offer the 200-level geography science-credit classes, which is a shame.

Vancouver Community College - Me and the wonderful representative!

Recently we had a representative of VCC come to Centennial Secondary. I was able to ask them…read morequestions about the cooking program the college offers. The representative was very polite, had no problem answering my questions about the community and classes along with the tuition and gave me lots of helpful insight like how long the course takes and what higher level courses they offer once you finish the first and want to progress up. The reason I picked VCC was because of their culinary courses and the representative sold me on my choice with VCC. He was able to exceed my expectations and even offered a personal tour of the entire kitchen from him.

I'm a new student here just trying to get familiar with the place. I wanted to get ahead on my…read morebooks and materials and had been told to come back another time as I was using a gift card to pay for my books and materials. I was told by two employees that neither had been trained to do gift card transactions with the new system. Coming from North Burnaby, this a bit time wasting. When I was able to purchase my materials, I realized I was missing two items from the kit I purchased; everything was originally stuffed into a canvas bag in disarray so you could barely navigate through it to double check everything. Granted, the kit that I bought included 20+ items so I shouldn't be too upset. It's just the fact that I had to trek all the way to the downtown campus to pick up books and materials weighing well over 10lbs and trekking home again just to realize I'm still missing items. But overall I'm not too upset just a little annoyed. The customer service I got from other employees was sincere and friendly. First impressions mean a lot, but it isn't everything.

A school that is tailored to international students. 80% of the students here are international…read morestudents. The only degree program that they off is associate of political arts degree. They do offer other programs like film, culinary school and fashion design. May students who attends LaSalle College are hoping to get their PR or immigrate to Canada. The school is very secretive. When you walk in you are first approached by a security. If you are not a student, you will need to sign in with the receptionist.

I would like to say that LaSalle College in Vancouver is a diamond in the rough. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by their Fashion Design program. LaSalle's fashion program strongest part would have to be their pattern drafting, sewing and illustration. The sewing and pattern drafting instructor is highly educated on patter drafting having apprenticed with a German patter drafter who wrote 3 books on the subject of how to make tailored garments. I believe LaSalle is the only school in Vancouver who teaches its students how to make your own blocks from scratch. Other school starts you up with pre made blocks. I came from a sewing background and still my skills in sewing improved dramatically. Other students, who had never sewn before starting the course, did amazingly well for beginners. I was blown away by our illustration instructor. She will make you improve whatever skill you have in drawing 100 times if you work hard every day. It will pay off. The campus location is great. It is right by all the downtown sky trains and the space of the school is quite nice. It's not new but the working area is big. While I was going there, all the teachers were excellent and since it's still a small school you will get a lot of one on one with all of the instructors. The school always encourages students to participate in extracurricular activities. Even though it is up to the student we are constantly hearing about fashion shows and participating at Vancouver Fashion Week. I have recently graduated in 2011 and secured a post graduate work permit. Currently, I got an interview with Cirque Du Soliel, which has always been my dream. I think LaSalle's reputation helped me get this interview because it is a logo that is recognized internationally.

Sitting in the "peanut gallery" as the prof used to call those of us who sat in the back of the…read moretheatre, I would smugly smile at my good fortune to be in a faculty that had classes downtown instead of the prison-like institution up the mountain. Plus, it gave me even more reason to hang out downtown. [end flashback] Taking classes in the Writing and Publishing program this past year gave me a reason to go back and experience it through adult eyes, and while the views and amenities are still there, I gotta say, I wasn't so impressed. At one point I dropped a course because it fell into the realm of irrelevance. I know I can go back and finish the certificate program anytime in the next year, heck I even have cash credit towards another course... but I likely won't use them. It's not that there isn't valuable information to be learned here, it's that it's not tax deductible. Not tax deductible? Isn't post secondary education considered deductible? Well, not according to the letter I received this week saying they had wrongly issued me a T2202E... That's the second time in my SFU career that their admin department has screwed up costing me money, time and suffering in the tax department. Once it even resulted in me being audited... as a student! I want to scream at the top of my lungs, "Get it together! You're an institution!" But I refrain, I have to save my energy for another looming accountant bill which is where this path leads. Hindsight is 20/20, and the grass is always greener at UBC.

I've taken quite a few courses and workshops here in the Writing and Publishing program, and they…read morehave all been great. Well, except for one that was kind of lame... In any case, when you sign up for a course here, you not only get a lot of great information from instructors who are professionals in their fields, you also get a course package that includes all the books and materials required, note paper, even pens and pencils. One intensive two-week workshop I took even included a dinner and fireworks cruise in the tuition fee. There are also plenty of free events put on throughout the year, such as author talks, that you can attend just by signing up. The campus is compact, but it's quite nice, and there are coffee shops in the building and just around the neighbourhood for getting to know your classmates better. SFU Harbour Centre is great for continuing ed - convenient, safe, and attractive.
