Its got everything. Students are great, faculty is great and it does not matter if you are there straight out of high school or if your a forty year old trying to reinvent yourself. Everyone is there to help you succeed and they do their very best.

Concordia treated me well. The small campus and classroom sizes made me feel comfortable and welcome. My professors were all top notch. I would highly recommend the school. It is well known for it's B Mgmt program. If I could change one thing it would be drop the "College" and rename to Concordia University of Alberta.

It was an incredible opportunity to attend this university to study biology/biochemistry. Every course I took demanded a high level of effort which was welcome and led to a well-earned sense of pride. The school asserts that there will be a lot of one on one with professors and the vast majority of professors embrace this paradigm.

They advertise that you won't just be a number in a class here but bigger schools like MacEwan have the same size classes and come with the bonus of being a more well known school. $10,000 for tuition is crazy and you have better places to spend your money.

Bad School, went for 5 years. hard to get out of something when you have invested 3 years already. You can get the same education at NAIT or Grant Mac. Some nice Profs but most are pretty bad. Somehow your marked on attendance. treat you like your going for you PH.D. trust me, if i was, I wouldnt go here to do my first degree.

Please make a smart decision and either go somewhere else or go work in Fort Mac. This is a grown up high school. How is even possible to get graded on attendance. Im 23 and i got a call from the register about not attending 2 classes in one day. if i wanted to be treated like that i would have hung out with my mom. horrible school

They bring you in with the promise to treat you like an unique individual. And they do until you pay the 4 grand in tuition and fees. Then you're just another face in the crowd. I feel lied to and won't be back.

Felt like a high school and we were treated as such. I was there for 5 years and 4 of them were miserable. The registrar's office is a joke and I was given absolutely no guidance upon graduation. Even they won't hire their own graduates because they know what a joke they are.
Overall 1.8
My biggest regret is deciding to stay at Concordia past my first year. The high school like atmosphere is not conducive to higher learning at all. Poor study space, immature students, and a horribly disorganised registrar's office all contribute the the chaos and misery that is Concordia.

Not so good school, they pretend to care about mental health, but I think they really don't care about their students. Also, food's really bad.
