Best Community college in Canada

J	Jennifer G on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Been trying to reach a student advisor for 2.5 weeks. As a prospective student who has already submitted an application for a program this is concerning. Cannot say anything specific about the program itself or the school since I have not spoken to anyone despite my numerous attempts.
L	Low Wol on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolute mess of a college. The service points are all a mess. If I need help with anything the people at the desks aren't able to help they try to find someone to help or tell me to book an appointment or email the library if appointment times don't work. There are never appointments the same day. If I'm working on an assignment I should be able to get help the same day and soon after I ask for help when I need help, not later that week. As students we pay a LOT of money to be a student. We shouldn't have to hope that we fit into the schedules of the people who supposedly are the only people who can help us. Then there is the bookstore. WTH is up with that? We have to order books/course supplies online on a website that is not easy to use and arrange a pickup time. I don't have a credit card and had to borrow a family members and then pay them back. The bookstore never answers their phone and emails take forever for a response.
C	Curtis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dear Norquest, You seriously need to revise the video links associated with the Math self study work books. The instructors just quickly ramble on the exact same information we find in the Lesson Answer Key PDF's which is a complete WASTE of time. We need CLEAR repetitive math explanations on how the answers were found and some side examples to succeed in these studies. I am currently relying on Youtube 3rd party channels for clear explanations. I am currently on the Unit 3 probability portion of the course and this has to be the worst of it so far! She writes 8 answers from the workbook in less then 2 minutes. Was not worth the $1200 spent in tuition.
H	Hallie Bates on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Do not waste your time or money here. After having worked as an LPN for a few months, myself as well as fellow new-grads feel horribly ripped off and as though we were given the bare minimum. Many things are glossed over and rushed due to the “streamlining” of courses. If I had known what I know now I would have upgraded and done one of the BSCN programs available in Edmonton, as I’m sure the quality of education and customer service would be better than here. The only reason this institution has students is due to the lack of LPN programs available in the Edmonton area, or Alberta in general. Norquest, you need to do better as a school and a program for your students and more importantly, for the public that will be receiving care.
J	Jerek Leprem on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Taking some upgrading courses here and the teachers and staff have always been extremely helpful and friendly. Yea, it takes a little time to see 1000 people who are having issues, but the issues I did have were fixed quickly and with no fuss after the fact. The student council is run very effectively. If you need anything from Norquest, they will find a way to help! Just ask for it!
C	Ciranda Omeasoo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They attempted to peculate financially from me regarding a situation out of my control. I had enrolled in a course before speaking with an advisor. She informed me that I do not need that course for my diploma (Norquest does not provide an option to withdraw). Before the start of the course their system went down. No student had access to Norquest/Student Services. They proceeded to penalize me for a situation out of my control. I expressed my concern and they withdrew me from my program. It’s sad because they have no academic supports and their admin is terrible. IT is even worse. I had such a horrible experience with Norquest! Highly recommend spending your money on a more reputable institution. This is by far the worst in Edmonton. Not only that but fellow classmates cheated amongst each other and bought/sold homework while working in groups. A lot of them had language barriers. I personally would not accept certification from this place as a trusted source.
N	Nicole Williams on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s been very disappointing and frustrating here. Teachers are so unorganized, they aren’t helpful. They do the bare minimum and most don’t even care if you do well or not. If you offer a hyflex program EVERYTHING should be able to be done ONLINE. I’ve had the worst instructors, they don’t explain anything well or actually teach anything. I’ve had to rely on YouTube videos and other online information to teach myself. I will be trying to transfer to another college for my second year. I can’t handle the extra stress of having to teach myself. I’ve had one great instructor during a full year of attending there, Kathy Kimpton, she actually cared and went above and beyond. She put in the effort to help make sure her student’s succeeded. The rest seem to just be there to get paid, and it definitely shows! I regret not doing more research and reading all the bad reviews for this place. I really regret not applying at Nait instead. This place is a total waste of money!
S	Shy-Ann Lutz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If I could put zero stars, I would. I've had 3 decent teachers out of 7 courses. The school is very unorganized. I fell behind several classes because of it being so unorganized. Not having assignments up and than boom, you have an assignment due tomorrow. Teachers don't reply for days, or weeks if at all! Not to mention, I'm an online student and have done all my courses, assignments, exams online. I am out of province and figured I could do my exam online like usual! but no, it has to be in class which is ridiculous, anyway, I emailed FBET students to tell them and they didn't answer any of my questions they just said "I suggest you fill out this deferral form" so I did, and I was denied because of lack of documentation which I sent my itinerary. But it didn't explain why I am out of province when in all honesty, it's none of their business. So now, I am going to lose 40% of my grade because of something so ridiculous.
