 " Terrible school outside of quality co-op opportunities. Entirely what you make out of the experience through your own networking and hustle, the school does nothing for you besides provide "brand-name" value. The quality of education is absolutely awful, and you're likely to have a better academic experience at any other institution. "

 " The professors and lab instructors really vary in how knowledgeable and helpful they are. A few are excellent and genuinely great teachers, but there are not many like that. The rest are less impressive. Still, if you attend class, keep up with the readings, and are willing to ask questions, you should manage fine. "

 " The program sounds really amazing but it may be too multidisciplinary for a 1-year experience. It's like no one is getting what they signed up for and it's frustrating. I wish there had been more clarity about the focus and structure before starting the course. "

 " Very academically centred school. Good in Math and Engineering, good co-op prospects and highly recommend. School can be stressful tho, but its worth it because the opportunities you get from here are super significant. Lots of employers come and do info sessions, have 2 major hackathons annually and quality of courses are very good (Math & CS). "

 " I think this is a great school overall, and the name + program itself intrigues possible employers. My problem is mostly with the non-teaching staff like Financial Services. They like to add sneaky costs to your account that equate to a couple of hundred dollars. The program itself gets the job done, but needs more focus on actual UX design courses. "
