Toughest Polytechnic Institution in Vancouver | A Student of BCIT

This here is the toughest Polytechnic Institution in Vancouver through the eyes of a student from BCIT. I hope you enjoy.

You won't do anything fun at this school without hearing your classmates ask the question:

"You had TIME to do that?"

30% of my class has either failed or dropped out of the program. I hear the drop out rates for engineering are even higher.

I'm convinced this is the highest workload university in Western Canada.

This is a video about the day in the life of a student at BCIT. If you are a student who is thinking about going to BCIT, check the BCIT website at BCIT.ca for more information about the school of BCIT, and information about BCIT and it's programs, such as BCIT's graphic design program, radiology program, learning hub, and more. Thank you for watching, and i wish you all the best in your journey at BCIT.

I just graduated from the BCIT's CST program 2 days ago and I agree with everything you said in this video. It really was intense and was probably the most stressful time of my life. However, looking back, I'm super grateful for having gone to BCIT because it was a huge slap in my face that woke me up and forced me develop good habits and break bad ones. I've molded into a better version of myself and learned so much. Anyways, great video :)

This video was surprisingly very well put together! Loved the ending. Kudos to you man!

[joshuawlodarczyk]

Sounds like a time and a half. I can feel the suffering through the screen. Props to you for taking on such an endeavor.

BCIT is NO JOKE - I took Land Surveying - and one semester we had 10 FINALS IN ONE WEEK. I was COMPLETELY fried at the end of Friday. BUT we ALL had jobs before grad. Only 1/2 of the students even made it to attend the grad as many (like myself) left the city.

Thanks for this video. I’m glad to hear an honest feedback about BCIT. Im actually surprised that they’re not giving you a bachelors degree, with the number of units you take for a diploma program. I’m looking at this school as a one of my options. Thank you so much!

Great video Jesse. Just stumbled across your channel -- had a good laugh with some of your other videos as well. Love the delivery style and the video editing.

Hey, I am a BCIT graduate. Honestly, I found BCIT programs are intense but not difficult. The overall difficulty level is lower than in other universities and colleges.

My brother went to bcit for accounting and I was so happy for him when he graduated because it was such a stressful time for him.

Hey Jesse, just want to say thanks so much for the video. It gave me a view of how the classes are. I've been accepted for the OPMAN course for fall of next year and I'm both nervous and excited. Really good idea to start mentally and physically preparing for the OPMAN course. 😂

[camillep]

I literally screamed when you said 9 courses and 12 simultaneous group projects… im never complaining again 💀

[Ryan_Parmelee]

I would personally rather spend 3 times as much money and two extra years getting a 4 year degree instead of suffering through a full-time program at BCIT.

[lookbook]

I am on waitlist in BCIT and I'm quite devastated

[Azuvector]

Sounds like a rough program. My own wasn't quite so many classes at once, but the workload at BCIT is no joke regardless. There is still time to do other things, if you're doing well and not struggling, though.

[caleb]

Dude, this is awesome. Your videos are really good!

I like how : I start my day with reading Bible. These are rare habits, Gen Z please viral it! :)

[finneganlefebvre]

I'm hoping to take a Security Systems Technician program at the Burnaby Campus at some point soon. Hopefully I can save up enough for it. It's not the same as taking regular classes, so hopefully it's a bit easier for me! Hopefully it also helps me because I kinda need to get my shit together. Anyways, thanks for the honest review!

Planning on taking automotive repair program at BCIT. Great video!!

[weewei]

thx for the motivation. I'm currently in MLS level 2 and finals are just around the corner.

[krisdelrosario]

Woah! 9 courses?! What’s the minimum grade you should get? I’m on another BCIT program and only have like 4 courses per term. Passing mark is 70% though.

Thinking of doing Comp and Ele Eng at BCIT. I'm from Calgary. Just wondering what it'll cost to rent in Burnaby? Is it affordable for out of province students?
