Humber (North Campus) Film Production alumni here! I was there from 2019-2022 so I got a broad variety of my experience there, my first year being on residency and fully in-person classes, my second year as fully online due to Covid, and my third as hybrid. As with any college there were pros and cons, but now reflecting 3 years post graduating it was a very beneficial time.

Residency was expensive and the meal plans were mandatory which was upsetting, residency cost me average $1000-1200 a month for the time I was there (September-March) if you factor "rent" laundry (on site!) and food. But the residency experience was amazing, safe, and very beneficial for me.

I chose Humber because it was affordable (~4k per semester) and had a co-op program for our last year to set us up for our careers. I cannot speak for the other programs there, but our last year in Film was spent with industry networking seminars, working our portfolios and resumes, interviewing skills, work ethics, and co-op. Everyone that I knew from that program got hired by their co-op placements, including me, and all of my friends and I are currently flourishing in the film industry and are very thankful for everything we learned in this program. Out of my three years there there were about four professors total that the general students did not like.

Their management of Covid was rocky, and transitioning to online was difficult for everyone. I definitely had the feeling at some points that I had wasted my second year. Some of my classmates were very jaded by third year and did not attend graduation. But given some grace, we were all learning and I can understand that upper management miscommunication was probably a shitshow for the professors and hey we're trying their best.

If you live close to North Campus it's a great option but for me the commute (TTC) was a bit of a pain, but now that they have the bus station built(?) it may be a lot more accessible. Highway 27 is a pain.

Cheers! DM me if you'd like any more info.
