As it is a very well known and so far the best business school in Toronto, I always wanted to get in there but got late in the first attempt, so it became a challenge for me to get into it. Having a background in commerce, I have always been in the list of toppers in my graduation days and I accepted the challenge to enter my dream college.

Course Curriculum

10

The college faculty is really good and offers in hand experience and practical activities to understand the concepts. Also all the faculty has been teaching for long so have quite a good knowledge base.

Exams

Marketing was always my interest and I am really keen to work at the backend of marketing and this program had all the courses I would require to enter the job market. Also, this program offers an opportunity to get experience in the coop term and feel what our future job would look like and also provides the experience and knowledge that is really helpful.

Placement

10

We have an entirely different portal called gbc career where different jobs are posted which are on and off campus along with the opportunities for internship experiences as well. You just have to register and you can view and apply to those jobs.

Internship

Yes, we have a summer coop semester which is compulsory to get the semester credit required to complete the course. It also offers various volunteer opportunities to get great experience and on campus jobs as well.

Fees

The fee structure is pretty high around $16,200 canadian annually. And so far I have not come across any scholarship programs I am eligible for, so I have no idea about them. There has been a hike in fees for international students recently which is a lot to manage due to financial crises and expenses in toronto.

Hostel

7

I am living off campus as my campus is in core downtown and does not have its on residences and the rental accommodations are very expensive and unaffordable as students currently. The monthly expenses of living comes around 700-800$ per month.
