The Ontario College system was founded as “a new level and type of education to serve those parts of the population whose needs were not met by the existing education system. Focused mainly on career-oriented education, colleges would create a system which would be a coherent whole”. (Ontario Dept. of Education, Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology Basic Documents, 1967)

Study PN here, Pembroke Campus. The professors are amazing and helpful. There�s not a lot to do around here but the university provides lots of fun activities and helps with actually settling you in. They care about students over here.
Algonquin College is a focused post secondary institute that does a strong job preparing students for the job market. The Business Marketing programme is practical and directly linked to real workplace expectations, which makes the learning feel relevant and worthwhile. The courses provide in depth knowledge while also encouraging applied skills, so you are not just learning theory but understanding how to use it. Overall, I feel the college delivers good value and sets students up with a solid foundation for their future careers.
Decent school, interesting classes, good professors. Limited parking can be a hassle. Enjoyed the smaller classes, nice having professors often know you by name. Really enjoyed it my first couple years. I think the delivery style could definitely use some work in certain areas.
