Reviews of Centennial (College)

Saumyal

I did food science technology from this campus. There are only 4-5 guys who are teaching multiple courses. They should at least complete their Post doc from a recognized university to be able to answer the questions. How can one guy teach two-three completely different subjects!! Secondly, ultra expensive courses as if they are teaching rocket science. At the end of a semester they give so many assignments just make you feel like you are hard working and keeping you busy, so that you don't ask value for money. Main instructor of the food science technology made a racist comment for being vegetarian. I'm not getting paid to criticize this college but I don't want any other poor student to suffer what I already did. No offence to the business they are doing.

Horrible administration , very poor teachers, a lot of the student services, people there have horrible customer services, with some being down right rude, disgusting behaviour.

The nursing school here is the worst that I had to transfer to other schools. It baffles me how profs here don't care about their students, especially that certain Anatomy "professor" who I won't name here. We even reported her all the way to the dean and the program chair but to no avail. However, she's the reason why I had to transfer. Thanks to her I am at a much better school now even though I lost the money I paid to this "nursing" school. Any school is better than Centennial. You will just be wasting your money if you go here. If I could give zero stars I would.

Hello! I am an international student and it has already been more than 3 weeks , I haven't received any response from the admission department. I have been trying to contact the department for the confirmation of admission in the college for visa application. I hope I can get some information from here.

I have been to this school for practical nursing a few years ago, which I regretted my choice coming here after leaving Ryerson from another science program thinking that choosing nursing here would be easier (my mistake for that). I will mention my experiences on why the school services administration here wasn’t good and seems to still function that way as I read from previous reviews. Also, I think that the 2 year practical nursing diploma program is a cash-grabber, which I will set my own personal and honest reasons for that soon below. Firstly, I found the student services to be very unorganized - library printers and computers were at times faulty, and financial/advising services often had long wait times. Not to mention the teaching curriculum, more specifically in Nursing Theory, has its list of shortcomings. Most of the teachers’ curriculum were not useful enough to prepare students for Theory exams that caused a lot of students to either fail or drop out. Many of these students tried filing for appeals or complaints to no avail. Second of all, I learned that the Centennial College for Practical Nursing program seemed to like to easily take money from student’s pockets, as students coming into the program had not expect the standards to be much higher than it was stated on their admission requirements. Nursing is a serious and difficult position to be in, and I think the admission requirements and minimum grade scores should be set up in a higher standard than that so that applicants know what they are aiming for in the program. Instead, the program doesn’t and I firmly believe that the minimum grades should be higher. And the school somehow manages to accept these students despite the difficulty of some of these courses. Instead, the students are set up in an endless loop and gets stuck in the process, unknowingly learning later on that in reality, licensing exam is far more difficult and the theory courses provided little help in return to get ready for it. Therefore, I feel sympathy for the next students who may come here not expecting the high standards left in place later on in these nursing courses, whilst the school manages to grab money from these poor souls. So I warn you, if you are planning to take Practical Nursing, know that you need to rely on ‘critical thinking’ as all Theory teachers implore you to do, and because the curriculum doesn’t give you much but background knowledge about it. Don’t only read notes and textbooks, but practice, practice and practice! Nursing is based not only from skills and knowledge taught in school, but judgement aka critical thinking. Hopefully, after Rex-PN licensing exam comes out, the theory curriculum will change for good. So please come prepared!

This is really small as compared to Progress Campus but i like it more because of its convenient location and connectivity which is better than Progress Campus.It is connected to STC and Rouge Hill Station with 38 ,Kennedy station with 116,905 and York Mills Station with 95 and all of these routes has excellent service.Go and Pulse Transit also has a stop at the Intersection.It has a really nice feel to it whenever we go to campus .Tim Horton service is fast as well.The best thing is the scenic route of 116 after Guildwood Inn (Could be the opposite with large number of school kids shouting loudly at rush hours )which always made me feel good as the bus runs parallel to Lake Ontario and the neighbourhood of Morningside is splendid.Morningside is full of green areas like Parks ,Lakes and of course Toronto Zoo it only gets better as we go east to Pickering.(The review is only about the campus not the college or education)

Nice campus

Financial aid was so horrible. They made me feel unimportant.

Worst 't place to study. Non Friendly and arrogant teachers who don't know the meaning of co-operation.

The experience I’ve have had a centennial college Morningside Campus is great

If you are looking for a school do not be going off all the good things you hear of it and "the position" it holds. This school WILL take your money, having everything been online last year students were still getting charged for the few students who had access to the building. Teachers refuse to give class averages because, guess what? They give away many of the limited spots they have within a program to tutors. A lot of the teachers are unorganized. You will have to pay for the entire semester again if you fail one class. The teachers read off slideshow powerpoints, which will end up wasting your time. The fact that the future of your academic career and potential career depends on what teacher you choose or not is ridiculous. They do not set up students for achievement and if you are struggling they will send you a link to mental health services that do not provide any actual help. Good Luck with your choices but I would not reccomend coming to this school at all.

Great college, has a Tim's Horton on site but closed right now due to Covid. Urban design lots of concrete. Good place to learn and staff are good.

Michael Wong

Pathetic service from the Financial aid office, once, I waited 2hrs for my OSAP application, and I was the next person. There are only two people working instead three, comparing to the registrar offoce, their efficiency needs improvement.

Andii

better to go study for a degree in life sciences at university of toronto rather than a useless advanced diploma in biotechnology unless your a international student that has a degree already in which case i would not recommend this program for domestic students unless youre planning to study another 4 years in university afterwards. save yourself 10k

Centennial College is the best college in Toronto. Amazing staff and a great place to learn. Missing my College and Friends.

Jas Gill

It's like home away from home....major missing ... ❤ Centennial is love

Smaller than its main campus at Markham and Progress. Great place to sit and study and get your work done.

Govindar Jit

Called ahead to financial aid told me to come to the campus to pay, drove all the way and paid for parking then the dumb security guard said they're not seeing anyone till 2:00

Nikki

Tried calling to put down payment for my program starting in January. The call center representatives were really rude and didn’t sound like they wanted to take my payment at all. This was my first time ever applying and paying for a post-secondary program so I do not know how to application process works and one of the employees gave me attitude when I gave them the program code instead of the course code. I was continuously transferred to different departments for an hour before I finally got a hold of someone that was actually willing to help me and I finally put down my deposit. They definitely need to retrain some of their registration/payment department employees.

Hey ! I applied for the Pharmacy Technician program as an international student. How much time is it going to take for them to send the offer letter? Will I be able to get in? I got 55% in my FSC (High School) Got a 6.5 Band in Ielts

Denise at enrolment services was EXTREMELY HELPFUL walking me through the steps to apply to graduate online via myCentennial. DENISE DESERVES ALL THE GOLD STARS CENTENNIAL HAS TO OFFER AND AN A+++ FOR HER AMAZING SERVICE AND PATIENCE! (I've been suffering from a knee injury for the past month, otherwise I would have gone to campus directly to figure out how to apply to graduate). This review is only 4 stars because the Centennial websites are constantly changing, which is frustrating to navigate through alone. THANKS DENISE :D

NIHARIKA SHARMA

CORRUPT COLLEGE , CORRUPT MANAGEMENT, CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION.. I would have given No star rating to the college. Horrible torture to a student. No one will gonna listen to you if you are an international student. Coz we are not called to give education, but just to make money by failing a bright student by disegalitarian approach and personal policies. Faculty donot upload grades on time. They upload grade of 6 weeks all together. Always misguiding students for their grades. Faculty keep personal grudges for students. At the end of semester, a faculty can fail you by not following grading policy. Even if you have 3.0 GPA overall. No one gives a damn towards the success of a student. If they feel to fail you, they will fail you. No reason given behind failing student. No rights or facility for international students. No one here replies to emails. No higher authority including chair and dean gives an appointment to meet in person. If they give an appointment, they won't take pain to listen to you.They don't care about your career. Even if you are right, they will still give totally personal and unfair decision. Their NO is NO policy sucks. On asking the reason for unfair decision or anything related to studies, they will simply ask you to go to counseller. Like SERIOUSLY...!!!??? Also, there is no account for charging higher fees for non- pre requisite subjects. No one cares here about student's Time, Money, Career. Dirty politics going inside the college system. Fake Policies..staff themselves do not follow the policy made by college. Total waste of time, money and mental health. Total TORTURE...Mentally, Emotionally as well as Financially ! HUGE REGRET for choosing this college !!

Compared to progress small in size but many good courses

Komal Randhawa

Loved being in this college, Did esthetician program, best experience ever. It is little expensive than other colleges but totally worth it. Good surroundings (students and faculties) around you. Centennial has a good reputation

I went to esthetics department for vegan facial but it really didnt work for me ... may be product are not worth it or the way they did... I didnt get same results as they mentioned it on website...

Maddy Gardiner (Aquadots)

Horrible administration, nothing to do on campus, no feeling of community, plugs/internet are not in working order most of the time, no good food choices (no choices open all day even), no places to sit comfortably, broken/dirty tables, floors and chairs in the main seating area, on top of many other problems I personally have with the school. Would never recommend! Similar courses are unfourtunately not located anywhere closer though. Some of the teachers are amazing and some of the courses are quite interesting, but only some.

hemant sharma

Fantastic college with ultra modern facilities where student from all over the world can sharp their career and get experience of intelligent faculties and experience .Here is that place where student enjoy their study with work. A lot of students are doing study. Students have gym.For health and safety. They have restaurant for refreshments and to satisfy their appetite. Every class has projector to elaborate every subject clearly. Location of college is on the road. Area is easy to access. I have visited this place when I was invited by my daughter, graduation. Actually graduation ceremony was in progress campus. College faculties are very co-operative to improve student strength in depth of study. Students learn much-needed technology and experience. My daughter and I am very grateful to this alma mater May god this college progress by leaps and bounds under present leadership

Attend for massage with students. Students are very dedicated and respectful. The treatment is very good. They are well supervised by their teacher who treats clients and students with a great deal of respect. Their Covid protocols are very strict but understandable.

amanpreet singh

This college is very good for international students as all the staff here in this college is so much passionate about the students work and also stand with you when you need them for the emotional support and when I got sick this college professor given me extension for every subject to give a chance to work again and without deducting any mark .This is far better them any other college in the whole Ontario region as college management always stood by your side to help you and prove that you have not done anything wrong by making a choice to study in this college

Adiba Dina Pahari

Safe

何安妮

Too hectic! I feel like everyone inside was extremely unorganized..my teachers talked more about their lives than teaching us the content we needed for our tests. When I asked for help, my teachers would not get back to me.. sometimes too late/after completing the assessment which I asked for help for..over all I do not recommend. I ended up dropping out and going to the Progress campus. I found they were much more organized from admin to teachers. Finally, the parking is a night mare. Paying for a student parking pass does not guarantee that there will be a spot there for you. You need to show up before the morning classes start or you most likely end up spending loads of $$$ parking in their paid parking lot..this is a warning, do not go here!!

NADIEGE JOSEPH

very poor service i must admit

Partik Verma

Amazing College

Rinor Dulovi

I attend the school and every teacher i have is unorganized and if my life depended on a teacher to respond to my email asking for help, i would of been gone by the first week of the first year. Teachers will give 3 ish assignments for the whole semester than throw everything else at you the last 2 weeks, with extremely vague instructions for every single work given. Teachers will not help a student work around a missed or un-understood assignment/situation.

haben araya

i've only been in this school for a few weeks and it's been terrible. the staff are extremely disorganized with my advisor Megan messing up my schedule deleting COMM from my timetable which was a hassle for me and because of her mistake I had to go to a COMM advisor and he told me i had to go to a different campus to take the course. That same man messed up my schedule as well by not deleting my gned when I requested him to and when I explained it to him he decided to disrespect me by saying "next" to my face as I was asking for help, even though there wasn't a line. also the registration staff are rude and I think centennial has been a terrible experience and no one deserves the stuff these unorganized staff members are making me go through.

Lowren Nguyen

I love this school

Hi, I would like to do Architectural technician program as international student in Centennial. What would be the job and career opportunities after this program

from a visitor's point of view it's a quiet little campus. library is old but clean. free wifi is available

I have attempted to contact Morningside Campus by phone and email in numerous departments and no response. I need a police vulnerable sector checked completed to be cleared for my clinical placement. My local police department requires a document from Centennial College in order to process criminal checks. I have exhausted every single resource I could think of trying to get this document from Centennial College and no one will respond. I have contacted admissions department, administration, clinical requirements, health studies (rm 352), general inquiry department and I’ve tried the contact information on Google search engine, I even tried to contact Gayle, Janice and Faye Blake. No one will respond or reply or answer me. I have also tried to get a document from the school to provide to my work so that I could get a leave of absence for my clinical placement. No answer, no response. It has been months and this has officially jeopardized my clinical placement. I call and email Centennial College x3 times a week, by phone and email, no response. What am I suppose to do? Who am I suppose to contact for a simple document?

gurwinder kaur

This college certainly prepare for the after grad life(work life). All professors are really very focused towards their work which inspires the students. But yes this is more expensive(fees) as compare to other colleges.

Sarbjit Kaur

I hope the college will be good because coming as international student and paying so much and reading reviews like teachers are not helping and they fail u not cooperative makes me feel bad hope there wouldn't be anything now as such mentioned in reviews

La Prep

The security is so rude and not helpful. I brought parking permit online. I donot know there are several different parking lots. So I parked my car as usual, when exist, my card is not working. I was asked for help, and the security said I had to pay it, meanwhile I did not bring my credit cards with me. At that time, I asked him to open the door and I can pay next time. It’s only $ 10 dollars and several cars behind me. He refused to open the door and said I have to tell all of cars which behind me to move. After half hour, I backed in and parked my car again. And call a friend to send me a card to pay it!

Stevyn Mykelz

Choosing Centennial over Durham and George Brown has been a poor choice so far. I haven’t even stepped into the classroom environment yet and I’m already disappointed. Trying to actually get a hold of someone to answer a few questions without passing me off with a terrible weblink that isn’t even for my chosen program, has been mind numbing. I’ve been trying for TWO WEEKS, the health sciences people don’t even answer initial emails or phone calls. It’s quite astounding.

Riar Iqbal

this college is fudduu college . dont come here .everyone is making money . nobady helping.

Jay Iraheta

Doing my Advanced diploma here, it's been a great school so far. Only set back is the morning side campus is rather undeveloped compared to progress. Would love to see more food options.

Courtney Downie

Don’t bother with this school. The worst school in Ontario, the staff does not care about the students. They are so unorganized during the COVID pandemic. Still charging students full tuition and did not provide a class schedule, forcing them to learn on their own without any teacher to student contact. Disgusting and lazy way to go about online learning. Started a week later and took away students reading week which is a much needed break. All other schools in Ontario provided proper schedules, and provide live lectures so students can interact with their teachers appropriately. Centennial College fail rate is definitely going sky rocket this year because they do not care about the students. Administration is not informed about anything and are absolutely useless.

D Owen

Morningside Campus needs to be expanded. Campus has an overcrowded cafeteria and library that does not have enough seating for such a big popuation. Most teachers and programs are good. Also needs more food options for campus

Iqra Segreto

Went to this school for a very short time before they went on strike and I pulled out--thank god for that. Very unorganized, teachers were unhelpful and parking was an absolute mess. They oversell the parking passes and it ends up being really difficult to get a spot and make it to class on time. The scheduling was horrendous. I had one class on the third floor with an over-talkative teacher followed by a class ran by a teacher who wouldn't let you inside if you were late. That class was conveniently located all the way in the basement on the opposite side of the first class. Multiple attempts to change my schedule and nothing worked out. I worked in the industry before going to school and the teachers I had were completely arrogant and unprofessional. I'm not saying I knew everything coming into the program, but when you ask for help, they seem annoyed that you didn't understand it the first time. The math teacher I had was amazing and patient but the organization of the course was disastrous. You had to do a quiz after every lesson even if you didn't understand it. It all seemed very rushed. After the strike was finished, they expected us to do the same amount of work in even less time. It was ridiculous. I also attended a private school and Seneca in the past and neither of them were anywhere near as frustrating as it was trying to go here..

Topstar Jackson

Campus is small and all the common areas are usually very crowded. Most of the instructors are pretty good - programs are good but can be a little disorganized sometimes. Other than that it's a great place to be - very diverse and inclusive. A lot of supports available to help with your studies.

Wais Captain

The OSAP financial advisors are the laziest and the slowest. How many times I putted reviews about the osap office. But each time the owner replay to call this number and talk to you soon and provide detail. I provided all the detail and can not provide more and its your responsibility to take action and move around college to see if everything is good. I took number for osap and waited 2 hours to be called in. 2 people are working in there. Lady is sitting doing some paper work and the guy is unprofessional and each time I need to go there I feel like he is being forced to sit here. Oh come please dont replay me to "call this nunber and we will talk". I dont want to talk and please dont just sit there. Try to come out and see the people you guys hired are not able to provide professional and good service to students. The guy is very slow. I hope this time you take some action and see why is morningside centennial has 1.4 out of 5. You can improve this. Thanks
