When I first moved to Winnipeg and locals found out that I hailed from Toronto, they would often…read moreask, "Winnipeg? Why?!" My short answer is that I got accepted into the Computer Science graduate program at the University of Manitoba. The wrinkled brows that said folks had then dissipated and life carried on. Unfortunately, a month into my first semester, the entire faculty went on strike. I had one professor who did not cross the picket lines. Instead, he continued holding classes at his home, which was generous of him. After roughly ten weeks of this strike's duration, I decided to drop out of my master's program. I do enjoy saying that I am a master's dropout. However, I eventually did get my degree over a decade later, at a different university, in a completely different field. The campus is similar to York University, which is my alma mater. You are either taking Winnipeg Transit (I was either on the 60 or 78 bus) or you are driving 60 km/h for a stretch before things slow down. It's still quite odd to me to accelerate towards campus. I went back in July 2016 and the speed limit has dropped to 50 km/h. Woo hoo! During my brief experience as a graduate student, I was pleased with my professors and advisor. I liked the courses that I was in. It was unfortunately that I didn't finish them, but I don't regret my decision to put my studies on hold and go into the workforce. I knew that I could cycle back to being a student again. So, if I ever lose my mind and go for a PhD, I'll do it in my sixties, after I retire... haha! The only negative experience that I had was dealing with the Registrar's Office. I had to settle a matter in-person with my registration. The woman there was unpleasant and asked if I was a foreign exchange student. I said that I was from the province of Ontario. At last check, it was still considered a part of Canada. She probably rubbed me the wrong way because she was picking her teeth with the blue cap on her BIC pen. Yeah, that memory is still incredibly vivid. I spent a decent amount of time on campus and can generally get around just fine if I'm walking around. When Winnipeg hosted the Pan-Am Games years ago, I volunteered as a technology expert for media people and reporters, and worked at the Max Bell Centre. It was great taking in snippets of volleyball games between servicing printers and more. I don't envision returning as a student at this university. However, I felt comfortable here during my brief stint as a student. (135)

MacLean's does not rate Manitoba highly…read more Bear in mind, Manitoba is financially a so-so province, and the winter weather is a big turnoff. These two factors in combination don't help in the "reputation" part of the survey. It's not exactly a huge surprise that better weather locations such as Simon Fraser and U.Victoria generally rank high in the comprehensive rankings. And ranking faculty based in large part on awards won (which MacLean's does, and it is a heavily weighted factor), not sure about that. Those tenured profs who are good at winning awards often times are lousy lecturers, and are inclined to delegate part of their lecture duties, as well as paper grading duties, to grad students. So the benefit students get from having award winners on staff can be dubious. To be fair, though, professors who have a choice among job offers, will often choose a city with a better winter, and/or that is more cosmopolitan. Though some of my profs liked the house you can get for your money in the 'peg, and actually chose Manitoba over opportunities in Alberta, Ontario and BC. So your profs are not purely gonna be those who couldn't get a job in Vancouver. Canada's winter is Canada's winter, everywhere but southern BC, its gonna happen. Sometimes we make too big a deal out of -22 versus -14 (though when you are standing at a bus stop - which you might do as a student - it does matter some). The experience I had at U of M was a very good one. I'll say what anybody with wisdom says about university - what you get out of it depends a lot on what you put into it. Self-motivation goes a long way. The particular name of the school matters less than you might think (as long as we're not talking a community college or technical institute). If you're actually there to study hard, get good grades and a degree to help you with the rest of your life, and do it in a city large enough to have some semblance of culture so you can have at least some fun along they way, U of M is a legit option. In my work life, I've never felt like the profs forgot to teach me the core things I needed to know to succeed in my profession.

POOR excuse of an "educational institution" How is there not more oversight?…read more I took the 2 year applied skills counselling program. The program is run very poorly. In our first year: they didn't give a single grade on any feed back on ANY work until at least December. Our instructor was barred from being a counsellor, had 21 counts or so of professional misconduct and she was teaching ETHICS. Instructors for classes were chosen incredibly last minute so students were in limbo as to when the next class would start. (As though we don't have jobs, kids and lives of our own) We are end of June, there has been no communication as to whether we will have a practicum in our last year, complete our last class or if we will finish. Pandemic aside, there is little to no communication or consideration of students. Apparently they think we can wait around then jump at the drop of a hat. This is just a small fraction of issues. I've gone to U of M and loved it! No issues there. Save your money and go some place reputable, unless you want to "buy" your certification.

I was looking at their site at about $25,000 worth of courses, in the computer technology section…read more Judging by the previous reviewer though, that might not be a good idea. At any rate, you have to take a Programmer Assessment Test before being admitted to the one course, to make sure you have an aptitude for computers. I contacted them via their online form, and you have to do 15 minute phone consultation with them first, so that was booked with one of their recruiters. I was sent two confirmation emails from their "system". One had the proper date and time, the other had the right date and the wrong time, an hour later than the correct time. I find ironic, or perhaps now, foreshadowing, that "I" have to take an assessment test from an institution that doesn't have staff competent enough to write a simple script or code that can create an accurate schedule event from an HTML or CSS/JS form on a web page. ?? The day appointment day arrived, and the time passed, by 2 hours. No call. I called the recruiter's number twice. No answer, only answering machine. I called MITT and got a woman at reception who spoke with such a heavy accent, it was impossible to understand even half of what she was saying, and I had to repeat myself multiple times for her to even understand what I was saying, and I have zero accent, so she apparently understands as poorly as she speaks. I'm a plain old English-speaker. This seems to be a pretty foolish thing to do for an educational education as a first point of contact, but the saga continues. Eventually the first woman passed me off to a second woman which seemed to have an Australian accent, which I have no problem understanding. Again though, I had to repeat myself multiple times to her as she seemed to be stuff in a permanent feedback loop where she was explaining procedures that I both knew of and had NOTHING to do with my issue, and she absolutely wasn't listening to what I was saying. Eventually, after speaking incredibly s l o w l y is a stilted manner like I was talking to a 4 year old on sugar pills, she eventually heard what I was saying and then passed me on to a THIRD woman. This is nearly 15 minutes on the phone now. I explain everything again to the third woman, who actually listened, which was refreshing, and I also told her about the hypocrisy of a programming test when their own site can't manage simple scripting on their own public website. She also told me that the recruiter wasn't in her office because they were all out doing a school tour telling the students how great MITT was, all the while ignoring their previous appointments. Again, highly hypocritical, considering the IT department and this is all tech based. I'm seriously questioning whether this place is an intelligent choice for education. It IS lower cost than the 2 universities, so maybe cost isn't the only thing that is lower. Quality, competence, standards?
