    Completing my pre-requisites for Pharmacy school at Canada was a great experience. The teachers I've had, although very few to choose from because of the specific classes I need, were all very helpful and made me feel well prepared to start higher education. I also love how Canada offers STEM compared to their sister schools CSM and Skyline. Of course since it's a community college you won't get the "full college experience", but I still met people who I am still friends with now after transferring. It's a smart and cheaper way of attending college!

    What I love most of Canada College is the community, since it is a fairly small school compared to other colleges there are a lot of students, tutors, and teachers that are willing to help you and see you succeed. You will have no problem here seeking help on any subject, there is always someone ready to help!
    I've been a student at Canada College for the last 2 and half years. I have had a great experience here. The majority of my professors have been extremely good and genuinely care about their students. The class sizes are relatively small and it is easy to become involved and ask questions. They are always available for office hours if you're struggling with the course, and there are also free tutoring services in the learning center. The academic counseling services are also very helpful. My transfer counselor helped me navigate which classes to take as well as which university to transfer to. The construction on campus has limited parking and certain areas, however this is just temporary. Overall I have had a great time at Canada and I am excited to move on to a four-year college.
