Overview

I first found out about nipissing through a school fair at my school. It was a really awesome course and the gentleman giving the presentation was fantastic. After farther research I finically got to go see the school and I felt super at home right away. The program was the best I had seen and the Nipissing community was everything I imagined for my university career! Alsng with feeling so at home the class sizes and student services/activities available here were amazing and just want I wanted!

Fees

Carl Sanders Entrance Scholarship: with my 82% high school average I was eligible for a $1500 scholarship that stays every year if I achieve an 80% average once again. The $1500 is split in half and given within each semester. Tuition this year for me was $5781 which was split in half and paid within both semesters.

6.2 /10

Overview

I read that the class sizes were smaller which would provide me with better interactions with professors. The nursing program there is spectacular with a great simulation program to allow students to act out real-life situations on a fake patient.

Fees

I had to pay for silly fees such as 'front door maintenance', five different school wifi's, to support school clubs (which I did not take part in), and many other things. Even when I did a summer course online from home and did not go to school once I was still required to pay these fees.
