As a returning part time student, I would say that my time spent at Humber wasn't wasted. There are many programs to choose from... Anything from funeral services to culinary management. When it comes to food choices, the possiblilies are endless! The culinary program also has students prepare meals availible for purchase. I always opted for the simple couscous salad or Hawaiian pasta. For something more commercially prepared, there is always Terriyaki Experience and others to choose from. In the food court, there is a self serve area for Tim Hortons. Fulltime students have the option for free membership to the gym. It is well equipped and has its peak busy hours, so hours of availability on certain machines may vary. What's cool is that they have an on site spa where students from the program itself can perform various services under the supervision of a professional in the field. I believe an eyebrow wax clean up is approx. $7.00. Linx bar is located at the back behind the JF wing. There are pool tables as well. read more

This place serves two separate institutions (Humber & Guelph-Humber) and two campuses (North and Lakeshore) and trust me when I say inefficient doesn't even begin to cover it! Yesterday was a perfect storm... Metro passes are made available at a discount price through the bookstore the 27th of every month. This month the 27th was a Saturday so Monday afternoon, everyone and their mother went to the bookstore to get their pass! I hate lineups just as much as the next guy, but what I really hate is inefficient lineups! There are three checkout points in this place and yet only one area is designated to sell metro passes. To make matters worse they not only have to check your student ID to verify that you are student (understandable), they also have to check your name off a list. Sounds harmless right? The list is paper... there is a 700 page booklet sorted by ID number that needs to be checked off before you get your metro pass. Seriously how hard would it be to put these things in excel of all things to expedite the process (higher learning indeed). The result is a lineup that coiled the entire length of the bookstore twice and took almost one hour to get through! Icing on the cake... I almost got kicked out for drinking my Perrier (that I bought earlier) in the lineup. Apparently drinks are a big no-no. I told the woman to bite me, I finished the bottle and refused to leave the lineup (I had waited 35 minutes at this point and was ready to put up a fight). I think next time I will splurge the $12 I would have saved and just get my pass though the station. read more

If you're thinking about parking at Humber north.. GOOD LUCK! either come super early in the morning, before 8am. Or come 30 mins before the actual time you need to be at Humber. Otherwise, prepare for hectic lineups, full parking lots and angry drivers. Humber's tuition and attendance grows every year, but the parking lot shrinks every year. Makes sense Humber. read more

Parking to this college is affordable. The past two days I had exams here. The parking for 3-3.5 hours is maximum 4 dollars. Very reasonable and considerate for the students. read more

The admissions staff, more so, Kamaldip Dhamoon, is very unhelpful. Keep talking in circles. Back and fourth. Ended up withdrawing out of the applied program over the lack of support from them. Careful when asking questions, the condescending tone, and the lack of actual help will fustrait you probably just as much as it did me. read more

You'd better believe in a benevolent God if this bookstore doesn't have your text books in stock. Classes have been in session for nearly a month and I still have not acquired one of my required texts. I am now falling behind the rest of the class because of this. I have made several trips to the bookstore to enquire about when the text will be re-stocked. Each time, I have been made to wait over half an hour while an employee disappears to the stock room to try and locate the text. Do they not have a reliable system for verifying if texts are in stock? I worked in at a Chapters for several years, and it took less than 30 seconds to see if a book was in stock, or whether it was available at another Chapters. I am having a difficult time understanding why this store is run so poorly when it is the only bookstore that can service the thousands of students that attend Humber. How come they aren't able to do something as simple as checking to ensure they have enough copies of a textbook so that all of the students who need that text will be able to get a copy? Even if they are taking into account the number of students who will rent or purchase used copies, it shouldn't be so hard. read more
