My life at VanWest College - Kelowna

I always wanted to pursue my graduation from Canada. I did a lot of research before applying to this College and my brother who was studying from this college told me that this is one of the best colleges. The GPA of 9 in my bachelor's degree helped me a lot in getting through the admission process. I had applied to the university through an online application form and paid an application fee of around $200.

Course Curriculum

My course delivered the skills needed by emerging leaders. The subjects included in my curriculum were business administration, financial management, accountancy, mathematics, and interpersonal skill development. The course provided me with in-depth knowledge about the subject and helped me to gain skills in leadership and management.

Exams

I want to make my career in business administration to get a diverse knowledge in the field of business. I had submitted my test scores of ILETS of band 7 as proof of language proficiency. I had even submitted my official transcripts, an affidavit of financial support, and a copy of my resident card. I was required to submit an immunization form and a letter of good conduct.

Placement

Most of the students are placed to top companies from the college placements, some from my batch also started their own business. Every year top companies visit our College and recruit students on a good package. From my batch, people were recruited to Account, Retail, Administrative, Managements with an average salary of $50000.

Events

The College carries out a large series of events throughout the year for helping us to communicate and adjust to a new environment. Some of the events include- student leadership engagement forum, fun June festivals, College festival, and different competition, etc

Fees

The tuition fee of my courses was nearly $13500 including all the expenses towards college. I applied for several scholarships but could not get one as it needed very high scores

Faculty

Most of the professors were with terminal degrees with being published in journals and presenting themselves at the conferences. My teachers helped me to develop an awareness of the benefits of higher education and business careers. I was taught to analyze, develop solutions, and to communicate efficiently.

Hostel

I stayed in a shared room with 3 meals/day provided by the college and had spent around a total of $8000. The traveling expenses were around $1800/annum. Some of my friends stayed at the apartments near the College and had spent around $15000, including meal plans for the year.
