" Brock University is a mixed bag. The Economics courses are solid, well-structured and actually worth attending. But when it comes to Computer Science, it's a disaster. Many professors have clearly never worked an engineering job in their lives. Their coding structure is a mess, and their understanding of real-world applications is non-existent. They make frequent mistakes, leaving students to clean up the confusion and basically teach themselves. The Co-op program? Looks good on paper, but without connections, you're on your own. The support is minimal at best. If you're self-motivated and ready to fill in the gaps, you'll survive. But don't expect Brock to do anything more than the bare minimum. "

" The school itself is great. You feel really included and supported at Brock. There are a ton of services and the staff at Brock seem to genuinely want to help and are efficient. Staff and admin can often be slow and it can feel like a chore to just get simple things done at university but that isn't the case at Brock. The campus, while a bit remote and isolated feeling, is very nice and feels intimate but not small. The professors seem to mark unfairly often, creating a false sense of challenge. The work itself isn't difficult but some professors seem to dock huge marks for small things that don't really matter. "

" It's been a nice experience for me at Brock. My professors are all so supportive though many of them are so detail-oriented which makes schoolwork a lot more hard. But to be honest that's helped me to fully focus on my study. As for students of Goodman Business School, we have a whole building so no need to walk far between classes. Staff are very nice too. And the school also have frequent networking events, which mean a lot to business students. I don't actually involve too much in clubs, etc. but I think they are not bad. "

" Good school, nice campus and food options. I feel like it's kinda underrated since it's newer, but I genuinely enjoy being here. Most of the professors are kind and teach well, and many interesting courses are available. Plus it's in the downtown area of the city which is nice. Downside is parking is expensive and honestly difficult since they overcrowd the lots. Also the Mac Chown building may be confusing and almost claustrophobic at first. "

" Great school, Kin program is amazing and always changing to better itself. The profs are the best and can honestly say the small school atmosphere was my favourite. Overall I found the school to really have many opportunities for me to increase my skills and knowledge such as co-ops and optional courses. The teams and clubs I participated in made the experience that much greater and working with my profs allowed me to continue on to a masters degree and the support from friends and colleagues is one of a kind. The facilities themselves are very clean and updated. Only downside to my time at Brock was all the construction going on but that is what must happen to grow. "
