Alumni Share Their Student Experiences

“The Therapeutic Recreation program at Algonquin College provided me with great networking opportunities within the Ottawa community. Though COVID-19 was a challenge, the program adapted to accommodate to online learning platforms well. Throughout the program, the teachers were very accommodating and supportive, and always had the student’s success at the forefront of their teaching!” – Natalie, 2020 Grad

“I see that my end result has exceeded my expectations. The teachers are the best thing about the program as they treat students in a personalized way. Due to small class sizes, the teachers know each student by name. Very relaxed and calm atmosphere, which made learning fun and relaxed. The program gives you very good opportunities to interact and is so fulfilling. The classes are interactive and encourages varying opinions from students. As well, the placement experience was the perfect way to end the program. I recommend this program to everyone who is looking to work with individuals of all abilities.” – Sheila, 2020 Grad
