Douglas College

Underground parking is available for students and the public, accessible through Victoria St. Students get a discounted price ($ 3.50 until 6:30pm, and then it goes up to a max of $ 5 depending on how late you stay) whereas the public has to pay much more (~$ 8+?). They only take cash, so be sure to have change.

Ive been going here for 5 years finishing my degree (part time because I cant afford full time). I really like this school, they have small class sizes and good professors. Most departments are getting bigger. When I started, the psychology department was not that big, now they offer bachelors in psychology; one through Thompson Rivers University and the other is an applied psychology degree (with honours).
Its no UBC but it is a good school, especially for those who want to transfer to other universities.

Every time I would tell a buddy of mine that I once took a class here, they would inevitably ask, «I heard the chicks there are hot. That’s true right?»
Douglas has developed this reputation around metro Vancouver. Guys out there reading this — yes this rep holds true. Certain segments of the female pop here is hot.
The campus is near the quay, and right next to the skytrain so there’s lots to eat and it’s easy to get to. The convenience of the school makes it super accessible to people around New West, Coquitlam, Burnaby, up to Commercial Drive.
The classes are pretty laid back and they offer a lot of student support — free tutoring for your class if you want it. Something that isn’t available at larger schools. Their library and facilities are alright but could definitely be improved. Some newer chairs or tables in their computer lab would be nice.
If you need to take a specific class to fulfill a professional requirement, such as the CPA or CGA some students take those classes here. The classes are easier and your grades will probably be higher. The classes are also quite a bit cheaper than UBC, SFU or BCIT. So the other schools don’t tell you that these classes are transferable, but do some research on your own because many of their classes are transferrable to such professional programs.
So, say if you have a law degree and you want to take some classes about taxes, or need a couple prereqs before applying to a grad program, this place makes doing that easy breezy.
Just make sure to not get the annoying ass hipster dude that works student services. There are usually 2 – 3 people working, if his stall opens up whatever you do avoid, avoid, avoid (stick to making really bad indie rock music and being pretentious at free trade coffee shops bud. Leave the real jobs that require being efficient to everyone else).
But, none of the above matters anyways. Because this place is by the water, and the girls are cute! And there’s a Timmies inside this place, and across the street: D
What more could you want? So enroll in a random evening psych class like my friend above did, and become very happy with your dating life.

The cafeteria service is racist, has been for at least 3 years and is not being addressed. I shudder to think when the last time was somebody cleaned the walls behind the appliances, the food is boring. The gym is filthy, unsanitary, and reeks with attitude from the coach and the attendants. No, the air flow will not be adjusted to better suit the occupancy in the facility. Most instructors I met are mediocre and unengaging, students are uninspired, programs and courses are substandard.
Management has high hopes, lots of political correctness, and very little accomplishment. Attend if you want a shallow life with marginal advancement and feel like spending with not much in return.
