Don't waste your tuition money on this school. They don't care about helping their students…read more Administration is a nightmare to deal with.... if you can even get in contact with them. The school's websites have clearly never been updated. They are confusing to use and often sends you in circles trying to get an answer. I have also had many bad experiences with profs. I have had profs tell the class that they couldn't care less about their students because they have tenure. School cuts program money and gave staff huge raises. DONT GO TO THIS SCHOOL

Total disappointment from this university. 18 year old daughter going for nursing was accepted…read morebased on academic grades, signed up for radly to ensure she got into residence with a $700 deposit paid, was informed by email on June15th she did not have meet the requirements (80% average, she had a 78% average) which is understandable but refused to give her any deposit back because she requested a refund after the cut off date which is June 15th(she requested it June 16th) this spot in residence is guaranteed to be filled Without issue, and with health care workers in high demand and shortages of these workers this establishment should be as ashamed of taking kids money for no other reason than greed She has been accepted to another university for health care but due to accepting a late enrolment she is living off campus. I would. It recommended Thai's university to anyone for any course, this just goes too show you who's Interest they have in Mind and it is not their students!

My review of Carleton University has nothing to do with academics, as I never attended this…read moreuniversity. I was recently here to attend my friend's hockey game at Carleton Ice House, so my review is about setting foot on campus for the first time as a visitor. Getting to Carleton Ice House from my hotel in east Ottawa was straightforward. What I find to be a bold move is that there is a roundabout on campus. University Drive runs east-west at first, but you take the roundabout to continue on this street to head north-south. Nothing like messing with prospective students who are trying to do a campus tour and have to deal with a crazy roundabout perhaps for the first time. Same goes with first-year students who have enough to deal with that a roundabout may be intimidating to them, causing them to avoid it at all costs and yearn for a normal intersection. I frankly like roundabouts. They are efficient. I find them enjoyable because I grew up in a non-roundabout community. It was a pleasant surprise using one here. Ottawa, in general, has its parking act together, compared to some major Canadian cities. You pay for parking with an app at any parking lot on campus. You can either download the app (I'd recommend it if you are here often) or use the browser on your phone if you are an infrequent visitor like me. It works. It's efficient. I had a great experience using it to park. The Carleton Ice House is a wonderful hockey facility. It took me by surprise that it houses two NHL-sized ice rinks. It was great taking in a few games, including my friend's hockey game that I came to see. It is a state-of-the-art hockey facility with a sports therapy clinic. My friend and I had dinner at Lansdowne Park after his game. It was ridiculously close by. I liked my brief visit to this university. It has a nice balance of parks and buildings. It's also cool that the university is bounded to the north by the Rideau Canal and Dow's Lake, and to the south by the Rideau River. It was nice getting a brief introduction to the university while I was on vacation. It was totally unplanned and a pleasant surprise! I doubt that I'd ever get a doctorate degree here, but never say never, as the saying goes. (248)

I worked at Carleton for 2 years. People there used lies and gaslighting on me for the whole time…read more My supervisor never stood up for me. Despite that I had excellent reviews and 2 of the 3 people I supported agreed to be references for me. I went off on sick leave, and when I was able to return, they had reorganized the office and eliminated my position. A coworker told me that they actually created 3 full time positions to cover the work I had been doing. HR told me there were no equivalent positions and I would have to take a lower paying job. Then they offered me off with a paltry payout to leave their employment. I admit I agreed to take it and never return, but that was due to the fact that they said the offer was no longer available if I left the meeting. I should have consulted a lawyer. My fault. HORRIBLE place to work!

Students do not get the proper answer for the questions asked or they have been told search the google for the answer.

Shame on you incompetent TA for the lab assistant program (be a grown man as you pretend you are).

It made me so happy to read all the awesome reviews about Algonquin!…read more I spent a big chunk of my life here (WARNING: this review may be slightly sappy and sentimental). My Dad's worked as a coordinator for years and convinced me to apply after I bailed on university after a few years. Always the university advocate I wasn't so sure college was the place for me. I couldn't have been more wrong. The Public Relations program at Algonquin College literally changed my life. The program (and the college as a whole) offers hands-on opportunities that put you in touch with real world experience and professionals in your industry. After graduating from the PR program I landed a job in the recruitment department working with a team to spread the Algonquin word. While I was there I got a more in depth view of the awesome facilities including the Observatory (fantastic student bar with pool tables, great live music and cheap drinks), the nursing simulation lab (an amazing facility that could actually be used in an emergency) and a really cool Mobile Learning Centre designed for mobile devices (tablets, laptops, smartphones) and collaborative group work. Over the years Algonquin has really tried to keep up with post-secondary education trends. Last year they opened the ACCE building (Algonquin College Centre for Construction Excellence) which is a environmentally-certified building right beside Baseline Station (which makes walking to Loblaws so much nicer in the winter!) and this fall they're opening a new Student Commons building. I still work out at their Fitness Zone gym, and a shout out has to be given to their awesome sports teams. The one thing that makes five stars impossible? The admissions portion of the school. While I didn't notice it when I was a student, my boyfriend recently returned as a mature student and we had an absolutely awful time with everything from his application to OSAP. While I understand the admissions department (or the Registrar in this case) is always being blamed at every school, this was insane. My advice? If possible, ALWAYS go into the school to get paper work done. Never assume it's being taken care of properly, because chances are there's a hiccup somewhere along the way. Other than the clerical issues at Algonquin, I highly recommend this school to anyone searching for a career in a modern educational setting. That being said, because it's a college and most people are only there for a year or two there's a bit of school spirit lacking. Advice for students currently attending? Get out there and explore the campus. You'll be surprised at the awesomeness you find!
