Academicly the college is excellent if you're looking for a God centered education. They offer one year programs to diplomas to Bachaelors degrees. The community is like no other. It's cozy and tight, on my view day people were introducing themselfs to me left and right since most seem to be on a first name basis. The food Is good! It can get blann after a bit but it's pretty good. Don't expect the same thing twice. They do offer option for people with dietary issues!! Cbc is one the pricey side but is an excellent choice and has a lot to offer so book a view day and see what I'm talking about!!

The College has a brand new Dorm and many of the buildings are fairly new. The Campus grounds are…read morewell maintained and the library is very easy to use with extremely friendly librarians who are always willing to give you a hand. There are some staff members who are very nice and easy to get along with, but many of them bring their personal views into the classroom which can create a very unpleasant experience. In several cases, some teachers have criticized and ridiculed pastors and evangelists I enjoy listening to and following, to the delight of the class. Also, previous student experiences have been used as examples in the classroom to create an atmosphere where those with similar experiences would feel belittled and afraid to share their opinions. If you are a more conservative style Christian, I would not recommend this school to you. Money is also a big issue if you decide to go to this school. The school offers Government Student Loans which would be considered a plus, however the teachers of the school have openly criticized people being in debt. I was even questioned as to why my family was in debt by two different teachers on two separate occasions. In the past 5 years, tuition has risen by around $100 per credit because, I believe,of the building of a new dormitory. The classrooms are extremely old and are only located in the oldest building on the campus. All of them are in serious need of repair and are extremely cold in the winters. Commuters are blessed to have a free lunch every week and they have a large lounge were they can go and chat or do some work. There are also a few areas on the campus where you can enjoy yourself, such as the basement of the main building which has several pool tables and other games. There are also plenty of activities around the campus to keep you entertained. One thing to be wary of is the clique atmosphere of the school. Students tend to keep to their own groups and it can become very difficult to engage with them. One other issue would be the anti military views that the majority of students seem to have. If you are pro military or ex-military, I would not suggest this school to you. All in all I would suggest that if you are a conservative Christian, or even semi-conservative for that matter, stay away from this college. If money is an issue I would also suggest you look elsewhere for the tuition costs have been raised every semester for the past few years.

I can't say that CapU is a university that stands out if compared with others in the Greater…read moreVancouver area. Programs are usually overpriced, and the curricula aren't that great. They do whatever they can to milk money from students (especially from the international ones) and do not deliver good quality courses and SERVICES. I attended the North American Business Applied and do not recommend it. There are similar courses out there for a much better price, and most of the time, the instructors will be the same - btw, one of the few things that I liked about CapilanoU. Do not expect to have much assistance from their staff. They don't keep their word at all! I confess that I got a lot disappointed, maybe because I was expecting too much from this college - considering the huge amount of $ and time invested. if I could turn back time, I'd have chosen another university for sure!

I've attended Cap U twice in my life; One when it was Capilano College under the film studies and a…read morefew years later (recently) under the culinary program. My primary review is for the film program. I came here based on the reputation at the time of the course being better than some in the city (you know who you are). For what you paid and what the course had to offer seemed weak. The course was divided into sectionals: Lighting and camera, script writing, editing, AC, history of film, and business of film. Some teachers in the course had experience in the industry that were relevant and had a lot to offer while others were out dated. Please note that my experience compared to the current course may have changed as well as the teachers, however, I know that most of these are still in existence 'cause I have some of my friends nieces currently enrolled. Through conversation with them I feel that situations have not changed. Of course names will not be mentioned as that is irrelevant to the review. Editing: Bi-polar teacher that was supportive one moment and screaming at your the next for no reason. Not enough computers to go around to encourage or allow students to work on projects. History of film: You watch movies all day, something that I can do on my own for free on Netflix. Teacher was sexiest. Script Supervising: One of the most valued courses for me. I have an eye for mistakes and love the technical side of things in regards to continuity. Aside from a PA on major productions, for independent movies I did a lot of script supervising. Teacher was warm, knowledgeable and she made things make sense. Camera & Lighting: Learned some basics, however, with new lenses, editing and lighting this soon became an outdated course. The basics still hold value today. Business of Film: Teacher had an awesome sense of dark sarcasm and humor, we got along great. After learning about the business, financial numbers seen very interesting to you. I found that the course had way too many fresh out of high school kids who either didn't know what they wanted, thought they could be the next Lucas, still had some high school tendencies. I was a bit older than them and established myself a bit more to mature and grow before finding my way. There weren't enough people that were my age or slightly adult who took the course as seriously as they should. This partially ruined my learning experience. I was 4 years older than most of the students and still too young for the few adults. Way too much drama and high school attitude that most of my classmates carried through in their adult life. Because of this I didn't get a lot out of this during the projects as I felt were owed to me. This is a flaw with the admissions portion as mentioned before, not the students themselves. As mentioned, even if you have a demo tape. If you had the money or a scholarship, you were in. No real filtering of students who would actually elevate or make the course. The course was overly priced. Parking is horrible, take the bus. Parking is horrible, take the bus.

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.

This school's architecture is simple, modern, and gorgeous. I felt like I was in Noah's Ark with all the intricate stacks of "wood" placed on the top ceiling. The shape and angle of the floor were pretty sexy and it felt more like a upscale office building rather than a school. Everything felt NEW and inviting. Before my SFU friend left for class, he said there was a mall around the corner from the entrance. WAIT WHAT? A MALL? Yes, indeed, there is a freakin' mall in this school. I thought it was quite hilarious that the first store you see on the left is a liquor store. I killed some time walking around the mall and using the wifi in their food court. I never went into a classroom so I can't really go over that but one thing that really gave this place an extra star for me was their SFU TouchMap located at the entrance. WOW this is totally nuts. The TouchMap is an epic interactive touch-screen map for the school, with individual classroom descriptions and locations on each level. Mad props to the design and programming team who made this! SFU Surrey is a pretty neat campus for who people who love modern design and cool beans interactive maps.
