Anyone Starting/Enrolled in Humber/UNB BN program?

by Utopia

Hi everyone,

Just accepted an offer of admission from the Humber/UNB program here in Toronto . I was wondering if anyone is attending or will be attending in September? If so, could you tell me everything (yes, everything lol) you like or dislike about the program? How did you adjust in your first year?

For anyone starting in Sept: What made you choose Humber?

Thanks!

Hey,

I'm starting the Humber/UNB program in January 2009...the 2nd entry program. I don't know a heck of a lot about it...glad to meet someone else who'll be going to Humber. I'll be going part time for a couple of pre-requisite courses from Sept. to Dec.

I actually didn't have special criteria for picking Humber, they were the only school I applied to, and they accepted me!

I went to the Humber Open House this past Saturday and took a tour of the labs. I thought it was interesting that Humber is the only College which has access to cadavers for their student's anatomy training!

I found a blog on Humber's website from a Nursing student...it gives an idea of what the program is like. I can't remember exactly how I found it, though...

Best of luck to you!

Yes, the cadaver's will definitely enhance the learning process! I'm actually taking my anatomy and physiology by distance course at the moment...if I end up getting a transfer credit for my current course at Humber, I'll audit the lab portion of the Anatomy course...Nothing like the real thing!

Thanks! Yeah, my friend just finished and OTA/PTA program at Humber and she said the anatomy classes are super tough, but the cadavers helped her to understand a lot. I honestly can't wait to start, I just wish I could talk to some people that have already attended just to get some perspective, but honest to God I have found no one, lol. But I did the search for the blog and found it, pretty interesting actually.
Good luck to you too and maybe we will see each other! lol

a 76 will probably get you into Humber and any other college site that is part of a collaborative program. I suggest you apply to Humber, Centennial, George Brown, Seneca and Durham/UOIT. If you want to start at a university, upgrade your mark. Actually, it wouldn't hurt you to upgrade it anyway.

Good luck
