I weighed my options, and this school was the closest to home, at a moderate price. They also offer free public transportation as part of the student ID and access to a gym. The program was very good (as per upper-year students experiences), and the campus is beautiful and new
Course Curriculum :
The current course curriculum is pretty good, but I feel as though many courses are kind of repetitive and our specialization could do with more medicine and pharmacy-related courses. For example, we only had an introductory anatomy class
Fees :
Tuition and compulsory fees for a year came to about $9,000 which I believe is pretty moderate. Tuition itself for domestic students is around $750 per course (with 10 courses per year) and the remaining charges come from compulsory fees. In past years these fees have included the technology enriched learning program, dental and health insurance, the bus?s pass linked with the student IDs, and gym access in addition to a number of other nominal fees
Examination Structure :
There are one to two midterms per course with five courses per semester. For the most part, midterms are easily spaced throughout the term. Exams occur at the end of the 13 week semester, and while some to most courses final exams are cumulative, some only include material after the last assessment.
Faculty :
The faculty is amazing for the most part. Most professors at UOIT are very knowledgeable and have open door policies in place for their office hours in case students need some extra one on one assistance to understand the material. Some of the newer professors, however, have questionable teaching styles and knowledge about their respective subjects
