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.
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.
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.
Internship :
Yes, it was required for my major. We had a prep course to get us ready for the internship/career class. The internship requirement for my major was 30 hours a week for 16 weeks. I did mine at an occupational health clinic doing the biometric screening, marketing materials, newsletters, health education presentations, and other office work along with observing other areas in a hospital.
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
Examination Structure :
Typical exams
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.
Hostel :
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.
