One of the biggest failures of this university is how little support is available for first- and second-year students. Either crucial information isn’t available, or it’s so hidden that new students don’t even know what to look for. And that’s the point of academic advisors, to guide students through a new and overwhelming system. Instead, advisors are often dismissive, unhelpful, and at times even rude. They don’t offer real guidance, and as a result, by the time students reach their third year, they’ve already missed the train. They realize way too late that they should have been aware of certain academic pathways, opportunities, and strategies—things they were never told in their first and second year because no one was actually there to help them.
For a university that claims to be equitable, there is no real effort to help students who need more assistance to level up with those who already have every advantage in life. Instead of helping students thrive within their available time and financial means, academic advisors casually suggest staying extra years as if that were a viable option for everyone. But many students can’t afford to take extra years of school, many live far from home, have rent and bills to pay, and simply don’t have the financial luxury to extend their degrees. This advice only proves how tone-deaf this university is.
I am not alone in feeling this way. I have spoken with multiple other students who have faced the same dismissiveness, lack of support, and missed opportunities because of a broken advising system. This university needs to do so much better if it actually cares about equity and student success. Right now, it’s failing the students who need help the most. And yeah, maybe then university is not for everyone, and people who do not have all this privileges should just stay away from even trying.
professors care more about the students that the university it's self. Professors are great though. It's just this university and how is handled, it's clear that it's just a business and not a place where you prepare to succeed in life. They just care...
Read moreKing's is a wonderful school with an emphasis on community and education. Many professors and professionals you meet at King's want to get to know you and help you with tips and references to help you succeed at the next level. King's is the best of both worlds with not only the small class sizes, and the professors knowing you by name, but also King's affiliation with Western and King's student's ability to use the larger campus' facilities and resources. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, King's was supportive of me as a student and my professors were kind through considering this crisis when I needed assistance with course work. I highly recommend King's to both Canadian students and International students because of the great programs,...
