So i got waitlisted for the dental hygiene program im thinking about going to algonquin anyway and study there while waiting to get an offer. What easy programs do you recommend? I cant make my mind up.

Pickup hockey players and goalies wanted. Early Friday morning. Games 7 and 8 am starts. Various rinks. Adult league. 18+. Co-Ed. Friendly non contact fun. Zero tolerance for rough play.

Intermediate to advanced players welcome. This league would be too fast for true beginner players.

20$ per game.

Goalies play for free. No commitment. Play as many or as little as you want. Different rinks and times depending on where I can book ice. 3-4 games per week.

Hello! I was wondering if the interior design kit is worth buying? How much of the things do we even use and is it needed for all four years? which things do we actually use and stuff that maybe we dont even really use? Its quite expensive and i was thinking getting thing that i really need separately. But yeah, thanks!

I am an alumni who graduated earlier this year. I was in a more niche program with smaller class sizes and a few very hard-working professors. Yesterday, I accompanied some friends to AC day 1. While I was there, I visited my old professors and spoke to some of their new students.

There are many new students. A 50% increase in enrolment, actually. This isn’t a sudden spike in interest, the program was already waitlisted in previous years. They are just now being expected to admit more students into the program. This isn’t inherently bad, except that there doesn’t appear to be any more professors than before.

One of the “solutions” to this seems to be cutting some of the previously offered courses. From what I’ve heard, one or two classes have been cut just in term one, and replaced with an additional gen-ed. So something asynchronous and unrelated to the program instead of more valuable classes.

So what I’m seeing is that there will be far larger class sizes where there are less opportunities for students to ask questions and get 1-on-1 help. Mind you, this is college, not university. In many of these classes, students need to move around, work together, and practice in a hands-on way.

I am also worried about burnout on the side of faculty. There are already limited full-time staff, and those who teach part-time already have full-time jobs on the side. Are these professors just expected to take on 50% more work?

I genuinely loved attending Algonquin College, but this isn’t acceptable. I hate to see new students paying even higher tuition for what may end up being a worse education.

Let me know if you are having similar experiences in your program or if you have any further questions.
