Seneca College of Applied Arts & Technology

Very disorganized especially the offices. I hope they could find a way to treat student better regarding enquiries. Ive been passed from students centre to registration to coordinators and people are just extremely unwelcoming and rude. I hope they could do something about this because this is not the service that I hoped for.

This review is for the postgraduate experience at Seneca.
Seneca has one of the richest postgraduate diploma programs. Believe it or not, they have a large variety of these programs, and nowadays an undergraduate degree just doesn’t cut it anymore. If you’re looking for a postgraduate program, I would definitely say look at Seneca first to see if your field of interest is there, and look at what the courses are in the program.
In my program, all but one of my courses was taught by industry professionals. A huge benefit of that is you get the practical experience in your courses, except they would likely be unstructured due to the inexperience of most instructors. Near the end of the program, you will also get representatives from other postgraduate programs provide their 5 minute speech on why you should continue studying at Seneca.
A huge beef with many students in my program was the relative disconnect between the program and overall student life. Many of us just attended our classes and left simply after; there were no incentives for us to stay on campus, and many of us simply came to add something to our undergrad degrees.
Overall…in terms of the postgrad experience, it’s really what you make of it. The programs are small, you’ll know everyone in class, and will make new friends. Just be prepared for relative disorganization in your courses and lack of structure.

Building looks nice, and it seems like an innovative campus, but the campus tour was so rushed. Travelled for more than half an hour to get a 15 – 20 min tour of the whole place. I’ve been to other campus tours and this was by far the most rushed and least accommodating. They didn’t even give enough time to allow prospective students to ask questions. Other universities and colleges give a mini powerpoint presentation to introduce their school, values, and most renown programs. They even offer refreshments! Hopefully Seneca can prepare better tours because other students have recommended this campus to me…
So this was a disappointment and maybe it’s a sign.
Campus tour aside, it looks like it would be a good school for fashion and esthetician students, as they do have a clothing store and salon on campus.
It seems to be more suitable to ppl who like the buzz. If you’re looking for some place quieter to study and relax after class, it doesn’t seem like the right campus for that.
Overall, it’s just my side of the coin.

I love the way in which Seneca has stream lined their programs to allow students to get their diploma or degree without having to jump through loops. This is the primary reason I decided to choose Seneca, and starting next year you will be able to stay at Seneca and complete a degree from York University. Further more, Seneca is clean, modern, and easily accessible by transit. Lastly, for those of you who work full-​time, Seneca allows you to still go to school at your convenience through their part-​time streams.
In terms of technology, the WiFi is reliable and stable, I like the fact that they have Apple Mac computers, it makes doing assignment easier.

I have been going to this school for almost a year
The only thing I do not like about this is its disorganized.

An ok library to study in if you’re close to the area and need a school kind of feel! Can get a little loud at times so bring ear plugs and/​or headphones. Internet is available only to Seneca students, I believe.
There is a caf downstairs — expensive but they do take credit and debit cards. There’s sushi, burgers, wraps are DELICIOUS, sandwiches, salads (around 6 bucks for a big, pre-​packaged salad with chicken).
Parking is quite cheap — $ 5 bucks from the 8 am until 11pm.

Believe it or not, I chose to go to Seneca College over the University of Toronto. Crazy, huh? Well back in the day, Seneca was one of the only colleges to offer an International Business Administration program, something I was very interested in. It seemed like a sexy proposition at the time.
Professors for the most part were mostly experienced industry professionals. Most also had a Master’s degree as well. I had some of the best educators in my life at Seneca, whom I keep in contact with many years later. Very caring and always willing to offer professional advice.
Seneca has a number of excellent transfer agreements with numerous universities around the world. A 3-​year business diploma gave you third year entrance into a number of Ryerson’s business programs. Spend two years at Ryerson and you’ve spent five years getting both a degree and a diploma. Not so bad. Most friends I went to school with who did not go on to university went on to work directly in the field they studied.
The value of the college isn’t simply in the education, it is in building the social network that allows you to succeed in life.
