Cost, location, education. I applied to two colleges. The application fee was probably like $80. I applied online to transfer from a community college and went on a visit to the college. I really liked it and got accepted soon after.
Course Curriculum
I finished I honours and truthfully wasn't that impressed with it after the fact. I love the classes and learned a lot, however public health isn't the greatest field for jobs unless you continue on another track like nursing or healthcare administration or OT/PT.
Exams
I wanted to help people but didn't know specifically what I wanted to do. Health Promotion and Education was a good mix. There were not too many specific requirements to get into the program.
Placement
Not great. They are very low paying jobs and typically require you to move where the jobs are. There isn't a lot in the wellness area for entry-level positions. Applying to jobs online is a joke. It's true when they say it's all about who you know.
Internship
Yes, it was required for my major. We had a prep course to get us ready for the internship/career class. The internship requirement for my major was 30 hours a week for 16 weeks. I did mine at an occupational health clinic doing the biometric screening, marketing materials, newsletters, health education presentations, and other office work along with observing other areas in a hospital.
Events
Homecoming, anniversaries/milestones, holidays
Fees
$8000 I think. My parents supported me so I didn't use financial aid.
Scholarship
I applied and filled out essays. I received a few for academics
Examination Structure
Typical exams
Faculty
Amazing professors. Small (30-35) classes, very knowledgeable and experienced. They were all approachable and wanted their students to be successful. I had face to face, online, and hybrid classes.
Hostel
On-campus. I lived in a university apartment and had the opportunity for a meal plan. It's just very expensive. The food was good, but they are not affordable when broken down by meal. It was buffet-style.
