Ontario nursing start
Just finished first year and loved it. More of a focus on social aspects of nursing in first year compared to other nursing programs in Ontario. Professors were nice and supportive. Clinical placements start at 3rd year, wish it was earlier. Lived on-campus and the people & support were great (and hiking trails along the river!). Campus is very beautiful too
Great school
Great program and school. Moved from different province for the program and am happy I did. I have learned a lot from my cohort and professors. Campus is very spaced out but all my classes are in same building. Great support from professors
