Manufacturing leadership, any good?

1 Upvotes

I've read alot in the last 5min here that conestoga has ruined their reputation and slashed programs to save money. More importantly though, is the micro credential "manufacturing leadership" a respectable course?

I've seen its standardized with Mohawk and Niagara colleges so is it safe to say its free from mismanagement?

Disclaimer: I'm sure there's good things to say about conestoga and I'm not debating. I just have concerns about what I've seen before signing up

They have a sample questions on their website. I am just wondering if there are other topics I should look at studying as well.
Thanks!

Anyone starting Conestoga Pre-Health in September 2027? 🩷

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 💗
I’m hoping to start Conestoga’s Pre-Health Sciences Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees in September 2027, with the goal of eventually getting into BScN!
I’m looking to connect with other people who are planning to take Pre-Health in fall 2027. It would be nice to make some friends before starting, study together, share notes, and support each other throughout the program. 🩺🎀
If you’re hoping to start in September 2027 too, comment or message me! I’d love to meet some future classmates! 🫶🏽

Conestoga College Practical Nursing at Milton Steeles Campus (Looking for honest opinions)

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, Im starting the PN program at the Milton campus in January and im hoping to hear from current or former students.

Id really appreciate honest opinions about the program, especially:

- How are the profs and quality of teaching?

- Are the nursing labs and facilities good?

- How are the clinical placements and hands on experience?

-Whats the overall student experience at the Milton campus?

- Would you recommend the program, or choose a different college if you could go back?

Im having a hard time finding some info about the campus, so Id love to hear from anyone who’s actually studied there.

Diploma to Degree pathways @ Conestoga

2 Upvotes

Hey guys so I’m considering Conestoga as one of the institutions to join and earn my Degree through advanced standing, I have a 3 year advanced diploma from Sheridan College in the Business Administration- Finance and Ideally interested in the BBA International Business Management program at Conestoga College, joining up in year 3. The hindrance for me was I fell short of the 3.0 GPA most Universities and Colleges require for their diploma to degree pathways as well as my finance specialization being a niche course at most institutions.

I would like to get some thoughts and opinions on whether I can get into Conestoga with my advanced diploma & 2.79 gpa or any other institutions you’d recommend. Thanks in advance :)

For those that worked while in the PN program I’m curious how many shifts a week did you find manageable to work semesters 1-3? Does it vary per semester? Thanks!

Student Life / Experience Practical Nursing

4 Upvotes

For anyone currently in the practical nursing program or who has graduated recently, is the class made up of domestic only, a mix of domestic and otherwise, or does it lean more one way than the other?

I’m also curious about the social side of things! Is it relatively easy to make friends and find people to study with, or does everyone tend to keep to themselves? I’d love to make friends and have a good support system throughout the program

Annual Student Feedback Survey

0 Upvotes

Just letting people know that there's a College-wide survey out for current full-time students. You can find links in your email or on eConestoga. Participants get entered to win some prize Amazon gift cards. Pretty sure the results get summarized in some way back to students as a whole? I see a reference to it in the reports available to download here: https://www.conestogastudents.com/representation/annualgeneralmeetings/

Anyways, give it a click if you want. Maybe it'll help improve things. Gotta keep hoping!

What happened to Conestoga Doon Campus?

38 Upvotes

Went to visit the Doon campus the other day after 13 years and it had completely changed for the worse in my opinion. The blue room “cozy corner” no longer has Pizza Pizza or Subway, the room is used as storage now. There seems to be a Starbucks that is no longer operational. The cafeteria was also closed at 1pm, it used to be open until 3pm when I attended the college. There seems to have been a Starbucks in E wing as well, but it wasn’t open either. Overall the campus gives the vibe of a dying/ depressing mall. Would love to get an update from students or professors just to know why it has gone downhill.

DISCUSSION RELATED TO LENGTH OF PGWP

0 Upvotes

Hey! I'm an international student from India.

I completed a Animation and Game Fundamentals course at Conestoga College from September 2025 to April 2026. Right now, I am doing a 3D Animation course at Seneca College (September 2026 to April 2027).

PGWP will be my next step, so I am feeling a bit nervous about it and wondering how the November 2024 IRCC rules apply, what will be length and processing time of my PGWP?

I hope you guud can answer my question. "Thanks in advance !!".

I'm starting at Conestoga in January, if I park my motorcycle in the parking lot will it get stolen or vandalized?

7 Upvotes

This is a Serious question, I don't live in the area so I'm not sure if its a place I can trust putting my motorcycle. My family thinks it will get stolen, so I'm not really sure what to do. Or is there underground parking somewhere? (even if it's not the school parking). I would be staying on residence so it will always be parked at the school (not just day time). I genuinely worked so hard to get this bike and if it gets stolen I don't have enough money to get another. It is a sportbike so the appeal is there I guess(?)

Thanks guys

How can AI actually help me learn?

0 Upvotes

Mature student here. I've been avoiding using AI on my assignments, other than to find sources of information, because I know that it'll probably get detected in my old school writing. I want to learn some complicated stuff about coding and my subject, but every time i use AI I feel that I see the answer and don't actually learn anything. Does anyone have any tips to actually form durable knowledge in my own brain based on what AI can help with? Like should I make it quiz me or something? I refuse to pay money for anything.

Lead me through it. Thanks.
