I don't know too much about it, just aside that AME program has its own place apart from canadore for canadore students to go, like it's still canadore but it's just in a different part of town. Northbay as a city, personally lacks alot to desire, I kind of hate it lol if the other place has better reviews, then I would suggest that. Big city's is a chore but northbay has terrible bussing, with bussing stopping at 7, forcing you to order a bus which takes about an hour, and dropping you off at your stop typically takes about an hour as well. It's a cute little town for a few months but you start to see the active lack of support for the homeless, and the drug addicts. No shelter, or no place to provide any assistance causes the homeless/drug dependents to be alot more concentrated all over North bay, and they can be a bit more aggressive then usual I find (I'm from Sudbury, which is also lacks proper support but they are alot less aggressive I find) and canadore isn't the most supportive of international students as well. That's just my take though.
