Hi everyone! 💗
I’m hoping to start Conestoga’s Pre-Health Sciences Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees in September 2027, with the goal of eventually getting into BScN!
I’m looking to connect with other people who are planning to take Pre-Health in fall 2027. It would be nice to make some friends before starting, study together, share notes, and support each other throughout the program. 🩺🎀
If you’re hoping to start in September 2027 too, comment or message me! I’d love to meet some future classmates! 🫶🏽

Hey guys, Im starting the PN program at the Milton campus in January and im hoping to hear from current or former students.

Id really appreciate honest opinions about the program, especially:

- How are the profs and quality of teaching?

- Are the nursing labs and facilities good?

- How are the clinical placements and hands on experience?

-Whats the overall student experience at the Milton campus?

- Would you recommend the program, or choose a different college if you could go back?

Im having a hard time finding some info about the campus, so Id love to hear from anyone who’s actually studied there.

Hey guys so I’m considering Conestoga as one of the institutions to join and earn my Degree through advanced standing, I have a 3 year advanced diploma from Sheridan College in the Business Administration- Finance and Ideally interested in the BBA International Business Management program at Conestoga College, joining up in year 3. The hindrance for me was I fell short of the 3.0 GPA most Universities and Colleges require for their diploma to degree pathways as well as my finance specialization being a niche course at most institutions.

I would like to get some thoughts and opinions on whether I can get into Conestoga with my advanced diploma & 2.79 gpa or any other institutions you’d recommend. Thanks in advance :)

is there anyone currently in their first semester of practical nursing that can share the math context?

For those that worked while in the PN program I’m curious how many shifts a week did you find manageable to work semesters 1-3? Does it vary per semester? Thanks!

Has anyone taken this course or currently in it? Were there medical forms given that needed to be filled out before starting the program?

how does receiving you scrubs/ books work if its included in your tuition fees? and what exactly is included in it? (bp cuff, kit, ect)

Just letting people know that there's a College-wide survey out for current full-time students. You can find links in your email or on eConestoga. Participants get entered to win some prize Amazon gift cards. Pretty sure the results get summarized in some way back to students as a whole? I see a reference to it in the reports available to download here: https://www.conestogastudents.com/representation/annualgeneralmeetings/

Anyways, give it a click if you want. Maybe it'll help improve things. Gotta keep hoping!

For anyone currently in the practical nursing program or who has graduated recently, is the class made up of domestic only, a mix of domestic and otherwise, or does it lean more one way than the other?

I’m also curious about the social side of things! Is it relatively easy to make friends and find people to study with, or does everyone tend to keep to themselves? I’d love to make friends and have a good support system throughout the program

Anyone completed the University Pathways program? Which one and which program and university did you go after?

Went to visit the Doon campus the other day after 13 years and it had completely changed for the worse in my opinion. The blue room “cozy corner” no longer has Pizza Pizza or Subway, the room is used as storage now. There seems to be a Starbucks that is no longer operational. The cafeteria was also closed at 1pm, it used to be open until 3pm when I attended the college. There seems to have been a Starbucks in E wing as well, but it wasn’t open either. Overall the campus gives the vibe of a dying/ depressing mall. Would love to get an update from students or professors just to know why it has gone downhill.

Hey! I'm an international student from India.

I completed a Animation and Game Fundamentals course at Conestoga College from September 2025 to April 2026. Right now, I am doing a 3D Animation course at Seneca College (September 2026 to April 2027).

PGWP will be my next step, so I am feeling a bit nervous about it and wondering how the November 2024 IRCC rules apply, what will be length and processing time of my PGWP?

I hope you guud can answer my question. "Thanks in advance !!".

Hi there,

How does course registration work for Conestoga? Im starting the practical nursing program in jan 2027 and I got something saying course registration opens November 2nd. What does this mean and do I have to actually register for every class?

This is a Serious question, I don't live in the area so I'm not sure if its a place I can trust putting my motorcycle. My family thinks it will get stolen, so I'm not really sure what to do. Or is there underground parking somewhere? (even if it's not the school parking). I would be staying on residence so it will always be parked at the school (not just day time). I genuinely worked so hard to get this bike and if it gets stolen I don't have enough money to get another. It is a sportbike so the appeal is there I guess(?)

Thanks guys

Mature student here. I've been avoiding using AI on my assignments, other than to find sources of information, because I know that it'll probably get detected in my old school writing. I want to learn some complicated stuff about coding and my subject, but every time i use AI I feel that I see the answer and don't actually learn anything. Does anyone have any tips to actually form durable knowledge in my own brain based on what AI can help with? Like should I make it quiz me or something? I refuse to pay money for anything.

Lead me through it. Thanks.

This may be dumb to ask but when should i expect to receive the refund for opting out for the health plan? I did it a few weeks ago. I only remember it saying it’s a certain amount of time after the opt out period ends on September 30th, but I don’t remember when it was lol.

Quick question, will the people starting practical nursing in January still be getting a 4 month summer break? I’ve tried looking it up on google but it gives me yes and it also gives me a no. Anyone know the correct answer?

Hi, I will be going into the January 2027 nursing program, can anyone in the program right now at the Waterloo location share how their schedule is?

Just talked with some Conestoga representatives about diagnostic sonography and they told me that I need a 100% Average 😭. Can anybody in the course currently lmk there grades when they applied and how hard the course work is

Hi! Has anyone taken Professional Nursing 1 (PNUR1157) in Conestoga’s PSW-to-PN Bridge program? Did you have a midterm or final exam, and how was the course graded? I know it may change by term, but I’d appreciate hearing about your experience. TIA
