A campus lit by vibrant attitudes of students and staff, and has a modern atmosphere, where you can relax, while working, or enjoying a descendant lunch in the seating area. The new building is my favourite place. Classes have a wide range of opportunities for the student, versus practicing at a university. Read Less

Algonquin College was my home from 2011-2013, I cant believe my College days are gone. This College is one of the best colleges in Canada. Very nice environment, everyone is friendly. Some teachers are here for the money, others are here to help you succeed. I graduated from Robotics Engineering program, one of the hardest programs in the college. I went thru tough and stressful days to succeed, no one supported me, had to do everything my self. I was very young back then and fresh. I wish I go back to college days, best time I will ever have my entire life, every time I go for a visit I cry so much. Farewell Algonquin College. Read Less

Terrible customer service. Administration takes days to respond to simple questions, often not even providing adequate answers. Now trying to de-register entirely from the program by following their "formal process" which is essentially a form submission to the Registrars office. Problem is the form is not available anywhere online, and nobody is responding to provide the form. It has been 4 days of trying to reach someone, anyone, at the Registrar's office, with zero response so far... still waiting and trying to connect via multiple communication channels... and still waiting...

A horrible experience! We had a flight, a "hotel" and a limo booked as a package through Travelocity for out trip to Ottawa for Canada Day. Little did we know that although they called it a hotel numerous times in the description and the itinerary and also on the travel conformation. it was in reality a college dormitory. Even the picture that was included was very tiny and was made to look like a hotel. It was a totally cement room with 1" thick pillows and very thin mattres...ses. Shredded towels and NO water pressure. Also it was out in the middle of nowhere. It was the Algonquin College dormitories. $1400 for 6 nights in this dump? Very misleading! I wanted a hotel! I'm 60 years old and was looking forward to some luxury and this is what we get??? Then my husband had to argue on the phone with many different people from Travelocity in Egypt believe it or not. He was transferred to so many different people that We honestly lost count, each claiming that they are transferring him to their supervisor. They all said that they could not help us get into a real hotel and no refunds will be given. This all went on for over 7 hours as my husband refused to take no as an answer. This was very, very stressful.. Finally they said that they would refund his money. We will never use Travelocity again after being treated this way. Very misleading! And the college was of NO help at all. One person that we dealt with there had a smirk on her face every time we spoke with her and told us that there will be no refund given. They totally misrepresented who they were and were quite arrogant when we called them on it. See More Read Less

Hi, wanted to ask about the Market Research & Buisness Intelligence course & placements and about the place where college is located. Is it nice for international students. Anyone studying in the same course, please please give your views. Also do we find enough opportunities for work. Please reply, your opinions will be helpful in taking the decision.Read Less

Great memories from the time I spent studying at this institution. The college has a very good esprit de corps and the subject material was interesting. The professors were knowledgeable, professional and supportive. Read Less

Decided to go to Ottawa recently and have stayed and many other hotels and another RCC in downtown Ottawa. The experience is the same. As this is not in downtown the building is new , but the rooms are the same. You get two rooms,  each with a double bed and a TV from 70s. You also get a kitchenette which has a seating area for two. The bathroom although big, the show stall is compact and not too much of a height. A 6 feet person would feel claustrophobic. The beds are really uncomfortable and let's not talk about the pillows. The towels are really puny in size as well. I have taken RCC rooms twice or thrice now, first here at Algonquin, but we do it if there are no rooms available elsewhere or if available at excessive price points. They definitely need to update the mattress and TVs Read Less

To be brutally honest the course here (Early childhood education) in itself is a joke because your able to graduate using little to none of your textbooks. The teachers here also are overworked and underpaid and offered little to no support to my girlfriend whom graduated her course. She found that the knowledge offered by the school quite basic and more of a money grab. Long story short may as well be paying for a certificate. Read Less

I am finishing my first year here this year… I am so happy that I chose this college over Mohock college because this college is so much cleaner and I feel like people here are more excepting and kind There are so much more options and opportunities here I find than the college I applied to in the beginning. I am proud of myself for choosing this institution to learn and gain knowledge from. Read Less

Amazing school. Loved my program (small medium enterprise). It prepared me very well and the professors are fantastic! One of them is a great mentor of mine and still in touch with many of the rest. Highly recommend my program and the school. Read Less

What a beautiful college campus! We had no idea what to expect since we are new to Canada. We were very impressed with all the different programs offered at Algonquin. The hands-on training areas appeared to be well equipped, and we enjoyed seeing the students in their career uniforms. The dorm rooms were really spacious and offer a nice living arrangement. Excellent college tour experience. Read Less

I've been going to the Impact Zone since April 2014 for my Martial Arts training (i.e. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mauy Thai). The instructors at the Impact Zone, Jamie & Bilal for Mauy Thai, and Ryan, Wade, & Brock for BJJ have been unbelievable. I've known these guys from other martial arts schools and they have been amazing, friendly, and informative. Their knowledge in their respective sports is advanced. I've trained in martial arts for a number of years and I am still learning new techniques from them. Each one has their own unique approach to teaching and their classes are unique from one another. The pads are plentiful in the Mauy Thai classes and absolutely amazing to hit. You will need to bring your own pair of boxing gloves as there are none to borrow (plus you don't really want to wear a pair of boxing gloves that have other people's sweat in them, lol). The Impact Zone has a lot of different martial arts classes as well, such as Boxing, MMA, Krav Maga, Wrestling, and Judo. I have not attended the other classes, so I cannot comment of them. So, whether it is your first time training martial arts or have previous experience, you should definitely come and try a class at the Impact Zone! BJJ and Mauy Thai is my recommendation. The costs for the impact zone are super cheap considering you will have full access to a gym as well!!! Especially if you are a student!!! Most martial arts clubs charge about $100/month but this place is about half the costs! And it includes access to a full gym facility. Read Less

It may seem odd that a college has one of the most amazing gyms in the city, but I promise you if you check out Algonquin's Fitness Zone, you will not be disappointed. I came here as a student, then as a staff member and still work out there as an alumnus.  The front desk staff are always helpful, attentive and friendly and the change rooms are super clean and really spacious. And they have steam showers...NICE.The equipment and atmosphere is awesome. All of the cardio machines were changed out about 8 months ago so they're all in great shape and top of the line. For those of you who need to catch your shows but still want to work out - GOOD NEWS: each cardio machine has its own screen. Amazing.The strength training equipment is also quite good, and they have some cool machines like the rope pull and some super cool zero gravity thing (note my intense knowledge of the fitness industry...) and the staff are all super helpful and friendly.There are trainers on staff as well as group fitness classes that you can attend. Algonquin also has an add-on called the Impact Zone. The Impact Zone is right across the hall from the Fitness Zone and is a state of the art martial arts training facility. They specialize in Thai boxing, boxing, kickboxing, MMA, Krav Maga, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and every time I walk by it's always being used. In order to get access to the Impact Zone you have to add $50 to your membership...which is a bit pricey for my taste. The only reason I'm not giving this fantastic gym five stars is because of the aforementioned price. For a community member (yes, anyone can join - it's not just for college peeps) it's $65 a month or $10/visit. If you're an Algonquin student, alumni or staff you can only get a four month membership or a one year membership, which can be an issue for people that want to join a month-to-month gym. Students are looking at $130/4 months or $260 for the year. Alumni prices are $160/4 months or $350/year. Staff are charged $180/4 months or $380 for the year. Despite the seemingly expensive prices, the one awesome deal that I come back to every year is their $35/month during the summer. Remember, the summer goes from May-August in the post-secondary world so this can save you a ton. Read Less
