Best college experience one could ask for. Terrific faculty and selection of programs for individuals looking to reach their highest potential and develop /sharpen very practical skills, all in the heart of Scarborough. Priceless.
For me it's one of the best colleges, progress avenue is is soo good from inside and it's so clean and disciplined. Atmosphere is so calm and peaceful that I mostly prefer to do my assignments in college Library. Gym is also good.
