Dawson College

Good for daytime students, continuing education students are treated poorly by administration. Do not bother trying to get any college services or academic advising, you are on your own. Continuing education teachers are also not paid for office hours like daytime teachers, luckily most are generous and offer office hours anyway.

Dawson college is a great learning institution. i may be biased because I am one of the students there (Night Class). Faculties are friendly and helpful.

I am biased as I work here. I think the school has incredible support for students and staff and is always striving to hit new heights with their students always the first priority. There are many excellent programs which attract and produce top quality students.

I had a good experience here as a student. The class sizes were just right. I can’t say I had any particularly terrible teachers. Some were more old fashioned than others with their teaching methods but that’s to be expected. The college is a bit overwhelming at first to navigate and the escalators tended to break down A LOT. Yet I enjoyed my time here. The school provides many opportunities for social interactions but I can see how the vicinity to a shopping mall could be an issue for people who are looking for distractions.. I can’t comment on the admin because I’ve never had to deal with them. I do wish the locker areas would have been more spacious though. I can say this college adequately prepared me for university in terms of writing and research. I remember course registration being a nightmare and poorly organized, but I don’t know if it’s changed over the years (hopefully it has).

An awesome college in which has great activities for low costs as well as a beautiful garden and general sceneries

The competition in this school is just incredible in the science department. Students are not helping each other in any way and want others to fail. This creates so much pressure that sometimes you really feel helpless. Many profs have no empathy although there is a few that are absolute gems. As another person said, counseling is impossible to get even though they advertise it and everything is super overpriced. The location is very nice though and education is very strong. I'd go again, but man this place gave me quite a few mental breakdowns.

Dawson College, located on 12 acres of green space in downtown Montreal, is one of the largest CEGEPs in Quebec. Dawson students are enrolled in full-time and part-time studies in 26 programs and take part in various activities, including student social clubs, Model UN, S.P.A.C.E., Sustainable Dawson green projects, BBQs, talent shows, and intramural sports.

I'm here to tell my experience as an international student in admitting to this college I gave all the necessary transcripts I paid my fees then i was told out of the blue that i need to take a french placement test and it was obligated by the quebec government I didn't know about the test before admitting i was not notified i read the site the policies everything nothing to be found before admitting and when I completed the test I was refused because i didn't i didn't receive the required level i asked the take the test again I told i was given a second chance so I filmed my answers and I'm sure that i got at least 85% of the questions Right and i was told i didn't get the required level and there's no way to get my note and they didn't even tell me the required levelSo for any international student wanting to admit don't bother you well get the same treatment thank you for reading the statement and for anyone wanting to confirm the story feel free to contact me

As a student there for two years, getting help from the counsellors and other facilities was a pain. Alot of resources are hard to access and take forever before you are taken into consideration. Alot of staff aren't very competent, especially when a french teacher makes basic mistakes in their mother tongue.. And that's only one out of many. Although, I've had the best philosophy teachers there and some teachers are actually really good.
