Cost, location, education. I applied to two colleges. The application fee was probably like $80. I applied online to transfer from a community college and went on a visit to the college. I really liked it and got accepted soon after.
Course Curriculum
I finished I honours and truthfully wasn't that impressed with it after the fact. I love the classes and learned a lot, however public health isn't the greatest field for jobs unless you continue on another track like nursing or healthcare administration or OT/PT.
Faculty
Amazing professors. Small (30-35) classes, very knowledgeable and experienced. They were all approachable and wanted their students to be successful. I had face to face, online, and hybrid classes.
Placement
Not great. They are very low paying jobs and typically require you to move where the jobs are. There isn't a lot in the wellness area for entry-level positions. Applying to jobs online is a joke. It's true when they say it's all about who you know.
Accommodation
On-campus. I lived in a university apartment and had the opportunity for a meal plan. It's just very expensive. The food was good, but they are not affordable when broken down by meal. It was buffet-style.
Exams
I wanted to help people but didn't know specifically what I wanted to do. Health Promotion and Education was a good mix. There were not too many specific requirements to get into the program.
Events
Homecoming, anniversaries/milestones, holidays
Fees
$8000 I think. My parents supported me so I didn't use financial aid.
Scholarship
I applied and filled out essays. I received a few for academics
