Pretty great school if you're coming straight from high school as the classes were small and wasn't very intimidating. The resources are actually from Humber which meant I had access to so many student services along the way. Not to mention the 2 credentials - if you find yourself between hand on work and theoretical learning then GH is for you!

im in the Business program (BBA) and i think its a great school, my commute is easy, the people are great and there are tons of opportunities for jobs and outreach stuff. im not much of a clubs guy but there seems to be quite a few that you can join.

Coming from a small town and a small high school, I LOVED Guelph-Humber. It's definitely a different experience from the typical Uni experience, but you get to know everybody. Getting 2 hands-on placements puts you miles ahead of other schools. Facilities/food/campus/gym/internet/safety are all good in my experience, there's something for everybody

I left this school after my first year. The courses are pretty useless. I learned more in half a semester at my new school than I did in my entire year at Guelph-humber. The "profs" also knew nothing about the field they were teaching, and very few of them actually work in the industry. I suggest you save your money and go to a real university.

This school is not good at all, save yourself and go to something worth 4 years of your life. P.s. the school is new and cannot even provide a\c that you pay for which says enough

The worst location possible in Toronto! There is nothing around the campus and 99% of students are commuters who are already from Toronto.
Overall 1.7
1. Parking capacity in short supply
Although it seems that there are quite a lot of parking lots, in fact most of them are not for students of the University.
2. Unreasonable Work Placement
Although it is called Work Placement, it is actually no different from applying for a job on your own, because the school basically cannot provide any help.
Overall 1.7
This school is a joke. They get professors off the street who do this as a side job and don't take it seriously but expect the students to be okay with that. I wasted so much money on my program. The location is terrible there are shootings in the area very often. The campus itself is safe with security guards but the surrounding area is not safe.

Literally the worst school ever. Im in the justice program and i came here for the mandatory placement and you get absolutely no help whatsoever. the placement coordinator is horrible. The caf area is small and always packed there isnt enough room and can never find anywhere to sit, the food is overpriced and coffee is overpriced for how bad it is.

All that's nearby is Woodbine Mall, and the entire school is literally hidden by Humber, so get ready to feel like an afterthought. Maybe even not a thought at all. Food is overpriced and gross, any clubs/sports are through Humber, its a commuter school so it's hard to make friends (and i live on res), public safety is useless, and profs SUCK.

I graduated from the Media Studies program in 2017. I still haven't found a job and I'm always being overshadowed by people with degrees from Ryerson's media school, RTA. I feel like they didn't prepare us enough for the workforce and employers know that and don't even bother looking at our resumes. The school's lack of a reputation is a problem.
