Kwantlen Polytechnic University Richmond Campus — Attraction in Richmond

Will agree with some people, not all the instructors are the best. For the most part, I've had great experience with all my profs. Some of them are very inspirational and make learning fun. For those who don't know, KPU has 5 campuses and yes they are small...each campus has their own little programs (ex. Cloverdale is the tech school, Langley has music and nursing...) I personally love how KPU offers many programs and each program is created to get students to be hands-on. Some of the reviews I see (especially the lower ratings) are from those who don't know much about the school, in other words aren't the ones spending time using all the FREE resources and services offered to students nor thinking outside the box for the reasons why some teachers do the things they do. (hint: read the policy). Will agree, everytime I talk to strangers who don't know much about KPU, they always bring up the rumours... Eventhough all those rumours apply to other institutions. Rumours about international students, limite for intakes had been reduced the past year for them and in reality they don't necessarily affect your education. Like if they do, it's your responsibility to step out and report the issues. Rumours of easy graduating...some profs are easy markers and some are strict. I wouldn't say it's easy to graduate, especially graduating with a 4.0gpa KPU is an amazing school, some of the programs here are way better than other institutions (so I'm not saying we are the best school, just that we offer many amazing programs that will give you the experience other schools don't). I've talked to some who transfered out to go to SFU and UBC, they all miss KPU but ofc each school has their pros and cons (all great schools). PS, KPU is still growing and improving so much...

The security department really need to do more training. One security guard who claimed he has been working as a security guard at the school for over 25 years pointed at student while reminding the school is about to close with very rude tunes. He also said he is a good security guard, but I really doubt that because he doesn’t even know his responsibility at school after working so many years. I understand that he might rush to go home or he might has his days, but it is unacceptable for that attitude towards a student. Especially when the student stay there before closing time. He even yelled at me and said:” students at another building left at 9:30pm, by that time, the building is empty already.” Sounds like he was blaming me not leaving school one hour earlier just like others do and make his job “easier”. Hello? I am a student and I study hard at school somehow impacted his life? Besides, I left the school before the closing time. If a security guard who really worked at the school for over 25 years was trained to help the school creating a worse study environment, treat students with disrespectful behaviour and rush them to go home earlier, the study environment at the KPU is going to be destroyed by security guards like him. And the reputation of KPU in...
