What an awesome college, they have great football, Rugby and basketball teams. So many trophies to look at. It a beautiful campus and extremely clean.

Yann Mack

College facilities are modern and clean; equipment is regularly updated/upgraded. I've had a great experience with both students and teachers in Computer Engineering. My only complaint is that the administration has been out of touch with student needs/worries throughout the entirety of the pandemic; blindly following the whim of politicians instead of legitimately trying to help all students by developing a long-term, safe, and functional hybrid online solution as would be expected of a modern educational facility.

Alex Sylvester

As an istitution it's great! Provides above the basics but can be better in a lot of services. However, I have met a lot of people and it's a great place to learn at. The library has been recently renovated and it's amazing!

Maxime Vandal

I loved my time at Vanier and would recommend this college to any student looking into they're different options. The teachers are great and the student community is amazing.

Ann Jack

Ii was there for my Covid-19 vaccine. I highly recommend you get your vaccine there. It is very organized and everyone is very nice.

The Administration is HORRRIBLE. They are rude, disorganized, show no compassion or wanting to "help/advise" their students and ex-students. Choosing Vanier College has been one of my worst decisions to date. I called them four times for the same situation - still waiting for the follow up. Do NOT count on their administration.

Constantin PAtru

Great place for college. Good modern languages program, great staff and clean facilities!

This college is one of the two English language colleges in Montreal they are respectful and the admission office is very very kind and helpful they try to tell you and guide you through all the admission steps you can also go to the campus and check the every Department computer science department department has around 3 or 4 computer Laboratories but today that I was there there was almost nobody there the professor is also staying at home they don't come to college so it looks like a graveyard. Silent and secluded. ???????? The campus is very nice and sweet. The bulding looks very old. But they have renovated them. The programs that are offered here in IT are general and not really specific.

Kerem Turk

I don't recommand their English language course.

Ismail E

Good to start.

ErisWhistles

My review can be considered somewhat tainted because with Covid things are harder, with Omnivox down it was impossible to access my schedule even on campus. Luckily my mother uploaded my schedule to me thank god. Otherwise i wouldn't have been able to get my ID card.

Alessio Tammaro

Great school! Love it! Adminstration eh...

Pierre Licyayo (StrayCat)

Went there for my first vaccination shot. Went by pretty quick.

Velvet Crowe

Vanier's department of languages is generally strong. The teachers in that department prepare students well for further studies. I cannot extend the same type of praise to the student body considering that Vanier is cliquey and an isolating place for introverts.

Marco Marone

Montreal’s best Cegep, well at least, Ville St-Laurent’s beat Cegep. Great place to study that offers a lot of supporting cast along the way.

Shoukat Bin Anwar

Helpful teachers. Nice prayer room for Muslims.

Georgio Mansour Nehmo

Great school. Amazing teachers for the most part. I wish the wifi worked better though.

Jigneshkumar Patel

Best English cegep college in Saint Laurent

Manix Mariano

Lovely place to learn.

Liisa Shafer

I am taking a continuing education class at Vanier. The class is Excel Intermediate I and I love it! The Learning & Professional Development Specialist, Laila Ali, is a really good teacher. The class is very interesting, and Ms. Ali also makes learning fun. I am definitely taking Excel Intermediate II right after this class!

Phillip Koumasitis

Awsome college to learn a trade

Hub

good school and staff

Christina Howarditz

The time I wasted at Vanier college is immeasurable, the administration gave me poor advice in the most critical point of my graduation, and once I completed ALL MY CREDITS, they refused to give me my diploma with my psych major attached to it.

I wish they stopped their horrible policies that makes getting into Vanier as a foreign student such a pain.

David Hinchliffe

Fantastic post secondary school

Frankie Zinno

Parking lot has way too many speed bumps that arr litterally infront of the stop signs. I guess it's too keep the sxhsch safe from other Indruding vehicles.

Michael Burnett

I didn’t finish my program but I had the time of my life !! Best college

Mirela SA

I started school here in Fall 2016 and it's been a disaster from there. There is always something with the administration, whether it be the course registration, course change, delays with summer school, etc. I was in the nursing program for a semester and it was horrible. Some of their nursing teachers should not be teaching and their program is horrible (no wonder majority fail). It is disorganized. They need a serious fix with their program. Or start from fresh. Academic advising is not very helpful most of the time which is why I always go to Rita instead. Good luck if you have classes in D-5. And in the N building (which, btw why is it outside?) I regret choosing Vanier.

I am a Ghanaian and i had admission into Vanier college but unfortunately for me they weren't offering Financial aid for foreign students. I don't know why they do that. They make Africans feel inferior sometimes.

Great turf field for soccer.

Clean facilities, nice teachers, very focused on student services, the atmosphere is great. Just, overall, a good place to get your DEC.

Tuan T

Wonderful

Tina Lavoie

Very unproffesional whats the point of having an email if you cant even answer it! Its very rude, at least dawson answers me guess im better off switching schools.

Karo Beaulieu

They have great teacher! but its Impossible to get a response from the staff! Very unprofessional!

Nicolas Marinilli

Nice building

Kylin Zhang

It’s a terrible college, they do not give support for their students, student services helpers are rude. They push all the faults on you rather than taking their responsibility. Personally I’m depressed since I’m getting into this college, it is the worst school in Montreal. Therefore. I suggest any students that would like to go to cégep apply Dawson or Marianapolis, those are very good colleges that give lots of support.

No one No one

The best

Darlene Lefebvre

Very disappointing the staff that is suppose to be there to guide and help the students are very rude, your better off at dawson the staff is much more friendly. Vanier teachers are very good but the other staff (academic advising, academic dean) are horrible and they never answer their emails my son has been waiting for over three weeks now for a response. how are students suppose to be responsible if the people in charge dont even act responsible. Definetly not letting any other of my kids to go here.

Anthony Stephen M

Went over to Vanier College today, to get our vaccine shots. They were setup in Vaniers sports complex. I must say, I was very impressed on the multiple safety steps they were putting us through before getting your vaccine. Extremely professional!!!

kirsten marie erskine

I've applied for a program multiple times over the years. I have 10+ years experience in said field but will not accept me based on marks I've received 10+ years ago. During that semester, my grandmother passed away and I had been refused for a program transfer so I had completely given up. I'm now 30 and still face those consequences. I'm just trying to live my dream.

Alex K

I had a bad experience with this College, administration, (like almost all of them) are extremely greedy. Tom Ingerman did not obey the academic policy and give me an exemption when I had an Injury but I was forced to retake the course.

Razvan Cioban

Cool place

Darron Seller-Peritz

Nice school to study in.

Khan Waheedo

i hate it dawson is better

Jeffery Monaco

I attended many years ago as a student of the creative arts department. Not only was I treated indifferently by the intelligentsia of the departments, but the college staff were not teachers. They pushed their personal agendas instead of an environment of free thinking and support for the creative process. Not one teacher helped me to develop myself into a free thinking individual, if you did not toe the line and be cool, you were outcast. No wonder these department are no longer functioning. Should have gone elsewhere.

Makumba Iasebutu

Horrible and arrogant staff ! Try Dawson : a bit better.

Nadim Badran

the best in canada

Steve Williams

Great Cegep with a large variety of options and services for the students.

jtyj rtyjy

Harder to get into than Harvard. Even though my grades were much higher than average AND I was in a private English high school, they decided to reject me.

Was next door at the St. Laurent church working a funeral.

Christina Valoussis

Great quality of teachers.

Heather Roose

LOVED my program at Vanier! Made me feel at home

Bella Amari

Teachers were incredible but the continuing education center had no sympathy for those with disabilities or who are mentally ill. I'd be chastised in the office in front of my peers for going to necessary medical appointments- appointments that could only be given during weekdays, as they were publicly funded. I was denied going to certain appointments, even if teachers OK'd it. I was told by the office that they'd ensure I would lose the very funding that kept me afloat. I'd be told things like "Well I have anxiety and I don't miss my obligations" by the dean, a man who probably earned more than enough to afford having privately paid appointments outside of his working hours. Even if the teachers are supportive , willing to make work-arounds, and helpful, the people running the programs are heartless. There is no room for anyone with any sort of struggle, they just want you to finish your program so they can get their money's worth.

Vinushan Sinnathamby

It's a good school. It's very convenient for people to go there than the other colleges.

Stella Ella

I previously wrote a really bad review but... Vanier is a place of learning. It's not high school or elementary. Its just as good as any cegep. I didn't want to go to cegep, and mistook a blessing for a curse. Its not a bad school. Its just as good as any other cegep.

Vaccine shot 2nd

A Espitia

I took an English course at Continuing Education Language School. I can affirm this is a high quality and affordable course. Georgiana is so cute and helpful, she's always looking for your well being, Scott is a teacher with a very effective and always funny pedagogy. Thanks a lot for everybody, including my classmates, I learned a lot from all of you.

Wonderful experience being in the campus

mirelle aldbai

Dear vanier, I appreciate how much parking area you have. However, it is not enough for students who start classes later or who get stuck in traffic. This past week i almost had my car towed for parking it in the parking area albeit not in an actual parking spot. There is not enough space for most students and it's a bit far from the metro. The college is big which is good but on the other hand, there's a big courtyard in between the main building and the N building so we have to walk alot especially in the snow it' not a good idea. So, i suggest to build an underground passageway between the buildings. Thank you for taking into consideration my request :)

I arrive to college and suddenly an odour of anti-enviromentalism on me to enter there.

Terina McLaren

Took daughter for her vaccination. Security was very courteous pointing me in the right direction to go park to wait for her until she was done.

Samantha Scott

GREAT SCHOOL. Very welcoming and safe environment.

Maxime Veilleux

Good teachers, disorganized management

Zifeng Xia

Everything is slow. When you try to find someone to help. You will see they all useless. The staff is useless. There is no point of them to been there. Every other college is better than this place.

Peter Ntoulis

Got my vaccine , very organized

Ridolphe Aristil

Good school good sports complex

Fr Boucher

UPDATE : After an other call to Vanier's financail services 8 days ago and promises that it will be done, the refund is still in the system and I am waiting.... This place goes down to 2 stars. ___________________________________________ I could not agree more with the numerous comments about poor administration. It's unfortunate. I was at first impressed with the quality of the program I have been admitted to. And, people are nice. It is with a little twinge that I withdrew to attend a college much closer to my home. I was told that the refund for some of the academic fees would be issued within 4 to 6 weeks, which is somewhat long nowadays. Anyway... more than 2 months have gone and I am still waiting for this refund after a few emails and calls. They are expecting me to be patient... How can it be so complicated to issue a refund of 115$? Incompetence, negligence, leave of absence of the accounts payables staff, recklessness? Administration should support the mission of an organization. If these "small things" are not appropriately and promptly attended to, it can truly become annoying. It will not get more than 3 stars.

Karanvir Bassi

Nice School

Great college. In a good location. Seems like a reputed college. Enthusiastic sports teams. Beautiful and peaceful cemetery behind the church next to it. Great gym that even externals can register for (only for use during fixed time slots and does not work over weekends).

Elicieo Suniga

A very good school with a great student community.

Jimmy Bacardo Moraes

Vanier : I did "SPRINGBOARD" in math with a grade over 9, after paying $ 237. Guess what? They never sent the grade to the ministry, never !!! Can you imagine that? Because of them I almost waste my future , my life !

This is a very good college. I enjoyed my time and program there. Definitely recommend it to anybody. Awesome VCSA activities
