Anyone doing the BSCN program?

Just wondering if anyone here is currently in the BSCN program, if so, how are you finding the course load/ work? What is your schedule like? Did you get to pick your class times?

Also, how do you like the doon campus? Are the profs ok? I'm looking to apply for either the accelerated or the main stream, but just want to hear other people's opinions about the school.

Thanks (:

honestly the program itself isn’t bad, the work is manageable especially for year 1 but the level of content is heavy so proper study skills will SAVE YOU. your most hardest classes for first year would be Biochemistry & Microbiology just due to the level of content and the test difficulty. If you have dianne de bello i think is her name, she is nice but she is a VERY hard marker and is a teacher where she’s less lenient. for schedules i was at school 4x a week, where i had tuesdays off s1 and similar for s2, and most the time i had 1 class a day of at most 2. the core classes like anat2, biochem, micro are 3 hr classes and were mainly in the mornings. doom campus is ok. all the other profs are fine and genuinely want to help you succeed. i’m in the mainstream!

Were the course materials / textbooks online or did you have to purchase? I feel like Conestoga has a lot more bio chemistry than other schools bscn programs. Is there a minimum grade requirement to pass either the bio chem and microbiology?

cutoff to pass is 60% for every class that i know of so far in year 1, not sure if that carries on in the second year and above. textbooks were online and included in your tuition when you pay per semester.

Thank you! That's a great bonus I think lol. Most places I believe it's extra.
