Coming out of high school I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I hit a bottom from grade 10 and it affects my attendance which effected my grades. College wasn't something that ran through my mind the two years I was done High School, I worked full time and got my own place. I was happy! My friend wanted to go to college so we applied to Red Deer because it was close to my home and they offered upgrading course and residence!
Course Curriculum
Very fast passed by able to learn and keep up if doing the proper amount of work after class! Being a full-time upgrading student will definitely take a toll on you but if you show up and do at least an hour of outside class review it's easy to manage!
Fees
Standard Fees for any college, include a dental plan but part-time students are not able to opt-out of, which is extremely frustrating.
Examination Structure
Our exams are placed at the end of the semester, we are told about a month in advance what day and time our exams will be. We are usually placed in a gym with another group of students, it is a little overwhelming.
Faculty
I've loved all my teachers and everyone always seems to be very helpful and friendly when I need questions answered! I had one teacher who didn't like me but that never affect my grade or my ability to learn!
