Reviews
- Reviewed on: April 22, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- I'm a grad from Concordia and I think the reason a lot of other Concordia grads get jobs after graduation is because you get to know your professors here really well, so they can write you a meaningful letter of recommendation. The smaller classes here allow for a lot of attention from faculty.
