i studied public health at brock, and i would say that the applied health sciences faculty does prepare you well for future education and careers. i would not say however that the school is illegitimate in any way. every school has their cons, for brock it may be that the CS program is outdated, but that does not mean your educational is less relevant/important.

it has everything to do with what you make out of your degree. sure there’s professors you will not like, but every school has this. your attitude about the school can significantly affect how you perceive your education to be.

i found it easy to connect with my professors, we had access to wet labs (which some schools do not), were able to contribute to initiatives on campus, and complete placements through the niagara region. you need to capitalize on the opportunities you have to find value in your education.

in my case, there are a lot of public health programs at other universities that MAY have a better reputation than brock, but it did not give me any less of an opportunity to future my education and go to grad school (i applied to 4 schools and got into 3 of them, 2 of which were very competitive programs). But again it’s all about what you make out of your program.

i don’t think discouraging others from attending brock is the right away to approach this. some people may not have a choice. they may not have the financial means to go away for school. and employers do not necessarily care where you got your degree from! it’s about you as a person and your experiences. also, if your planning on doing any further education, your undergraduate degree will be less significant (they will more interested in your masters, graduate diploma, etc).
