What Students and Alumni on Course Compare Think of the BBA Program
“One of the most transformative and fulfilling chapters of my life”
On CourseCompare, a student described their time in the BBA program as a defining chapter shaped as much by community as by coursework:
“My journey at Yorkville University has been one of the most transformative and fulfilling chapters of my life. What started as a step into the unknown quickly turned into an experience filled with growth, connection, and unforgettable memories. Yorkville is not just where I study. It is where I have found a vibrant community, discovered my strengths, and truly come into my own.”
They credited the Student Life team for building a culture that extended far beyond the classroom, pointing to Game Nights, Movie Nights, and weekend hikes as highlights of their time on campus:
“The events organized by the Student Life team are where that culture comes alive. Game Nights brought everyone together in the best way possible. They were full of music, laughter, and friendly competition… The weekend hikes were some of my favorite experiences. Exploring local trails with classmates allowed us to disconnect from daily stress and connect on a deeper level.”
They also highlighted bigger outings, like trips to Canada’s Wonderland and Toronto Blue Jays and Marlies games, as some of the best memories of their degree, and reflected on how those experiences shaped their own growth as a Student Ambassador and peer tutor:
“As a Student Ambassador and peer tutor, I have seen firsthand how student life activities improve confidence, encourage friendships, and create a strong sense of belonging on campus. They are a key reason students feel at home here and choose to stay.”
What Students and Alumni on Google Think of the BBA Program
“A fun and engaging experience from day one”
A graduating BBA student left a Google review echoing that same sense of community, while also pointing to the academic support that got them across the finish line:
“I’m graduating and couldn’t be happier with my time here. It was a fun and engaging experience from day one. The campus community is lively, and there are always events and activities to get involved in. Academically I felt supported, the staff and faculty were approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful whenever I needed guidance. Whether it was course advice, administrative help, or career support, their assistance made a big difference. I’m grateful for the friendships, memories, and skills I’ve gained here.”

What Students and Alumni on Reddit Think of the BBA Program
Alongside the positive experiences above, students on r/YorkvilleUniversity and r/CanadaUniversities describe a program that demands real self-discipline, with results that vary depending on what a student puts into it.
“Stay organized, manage your time effectively, and keep up with coursework each week”
In a thread titled “Surviving and Succeeding in Online Learning,” one student laid out practical advice for getting through the program, framing success as a matter of consistency rather than ease:
“My advice to future students is to stay organized, manage your time effectively, and keep up with coursework each week. Don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it.”
Like any post-secondary education, the reviewer makes it clear that each student must put in the time, and if they do, the results are definitely worth it:
“Looking back, the experience taught me resilience, discipline, and effective time management. Despite the challenges, I am proud of what I accomplished and grateful for the knowledge and skills I gained throughout the program.”
“I like the small class sizes in Yorkville, cause they help accelerating more focused learning sessions.”
Over on r/CanadaUniversities, a thread called “Yorkville University – too good to be true (really)?” has an international student recommending the school based on the cost, course material and speed of the program:
“As an international student, it’s always a struggle to find a university that matches your financial situation, offers quality education, and is recognized by professional bodies in Canada. Yorkville has all of that.”
What These Experiences Have in Common
Between the CourseCompare and Google reviews, a clear pattern emerges: students who lean into the community side of Yorkville, the events, the ambassador roles, the relationships with staff, tend to describe the BBA as genuinely transformative. The Reddit threads add useful texture to that picture. They’re more focused on logistics and legitimacy, but they don’t contradict the positive experiences so much as round them out.
Taken together, these accounts suggest the BBA program rewards students who show up for both the coursework and the community. For many, it’s been more than a business degree. It’s been a testing ground for time management, self-motivation, and, for at least a few, some of the most memorable years of their lives.
