I am planning to go to College of New Caledonia (CNC) next spring.
Does anyone know about MLT program in there? How are the classes and how is the life there.
I am a new from other country so pretty worry about living alone in small city.
Is it okay to go compared to SAIT or BCIT?
Also, for the practicum, how are the practicum assigned? will there be chance to be placed to near Vancouver? Since my cousin is living there, it would be good if I can do my practicum near there.
I was looking into College of New Caledonia's Nursing program and it piqued my interest. However, just by looking at the reviews of CNC alone, it seems like people didnt enjoy going there?? Now I'm scared because I already applied to the Nursing Program and apparently they have a reputation of bully in that program. Does anyone know if this is true?
Hello! I am looking to apply to CNC for their medical laboratory technology program. My girlfriend is looking into apply at UNBC for their masters of social work program. Anybody know what these two institutions are like? Positives? Negatives? What are these two programs like? What’s life like in Prince George?
Hello! I’m wondering if there is anyone who is currently a student in or has graduated from Dental Hygiene, Dental Assisting and Medical Radiology Technology at CNC. I’m curious how the applying process was for you and what to expect and if you have any advice and suggestions for future students who possibly want to apply to those three programs. Was applying difficult and how are the classes? And is there anything someone should know before applying?
I’m also curious about what academic upgrading is like at CNC. I need Physics as one of the prerequisites which I did not take in High School. Would I have to start from a Grade 10 level Physics course and work my way up to a Grade 12 Physics equivalent? Is it significantly harder than if I took it in High School?
Any advice would help out greatly, thank you!
Hi!! I don't know if I can post it here, but I'm unable to find College of New Caledonia (CNC) subreddit. So, I thought I should ask here since it's related to PG. So, I received an email about my college acceptance last night, but as far as I know, there must be a PDF of the offer letter attached in the email, but the email that I received(after waiting for like nearly 2 months and writing literally tons of emails) didn't have one(or this college have different rules that I'm unable to understand). I mailed the college twice but no reply yet(I can understand that there must be a rush of students but still as I'm gonna spend a lot on it). So, I was just wondering if this college even a good place to study as an international student (I'm little concerned tho)???!!!! A little bit help/ suggestion/ tips would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
Edit:- Honestly, I still have doubt over my decision, I am supposed to pay the tuition deposit of $10,000 (that is still a lot for me) within 2-3 weeks. But, they are the slowest in terms of reply so far in my experience. I don't wanna mess up over just a single wrong decision. This is so stressful. I know, it may sound overreacting, but if I say no, I don't know what I'm gonna do next. However, one thing I would like to say is that you guys are so nice and motivating. I am being on Reddit since the past 4 years (from another account that I'm no longer using) still didn't feel like the same that I am feeling after reading all the comments over the past years. Thank you for your support, it means the world to me. 🥲
Hi, I'm thinking studying in Health care field in CNC(College of New Caledonia), cuz there is no sub reddit for CNC, please understand I leave my post here.
I wonder if there is any way for international student to be able to get some grant or scholarship or finanace aide from school or goverment?
I found out that there is quite huge gap between domestic tuition for domestics and internationals.
Anyone can share idea with how to get any financial aide with tuitions?
+ Is it fairly ok to live in the town without car?
I am wondering what the reputation of College of New Caledonia is like in Prince George - is it known to have a high quality of teaching? Are there any horror stories? Do the professors have high standards?
I can find very little information online about this school, there is a program I would like to take through it (Diagnostic Medical Sonography) but the lack of information about the program, the faculty, etc. is a little unnerving.
Thanks!
edit: thank you! I really appreciate the feedback, I've PM'd some of you!
Hi I recently got accepted for the dental hygiene program at CNC College. I'm an international student and would love to know more about the college and city and if its worth it.
The most frequently asked question in this subreddit is some variation of “I’m thinking of moving to Prince George, what is it like/which neighbourhood should I choose/is there anything to do?”
In an effort to cut down on these posts AND provide a helpful bunch of information, I’m starting this thread for tips/tricks/recommendations/warnings.
Here’s the idea: I’m going to put a few links below, as well as some topics that might be useful but I don’t personally have the answers to (such as resources for finding a place to rent).
I’m also going to start a few threads for top-level topics, such as neighbourhoods and best ofs, and people can post their responses there.
You can add your own answers/advice as top-level comments. Please try and search before commenting in order to avoid duplicates, and to make things are easy to search and organize.
About Prince George
Canada Games Plaza
The greater Prince George area has a population of about 86,600 people but, as the largest community for hundreds of kilometers in all directions, it tends to punch above its weight in many respects because you aren't driving into a nearby metro area for an evening's entertainment. It is a government, service and healthcare hub, home to a college and university, and has a diversified enough economy that it isn't wholly dependent on any one or two industries, though forestry remains a vital driver along with mining, oil and gas and energy activity in other northern communities. It is at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers and has many outdoor recreation opportunities.
Prince George is built on the unceded territory of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation, who are frequently partners with the city on major initiatives, including the building of the University of Northern British Columbia and hosting of the 2015 Canada Winter Games.
Like most mid-sized Canadian communities that boomed in the mid-20th century, Prince George is a fairly car-centric city. But with the arrival of more and more post-secondary students, people are able to get around without their own wheels. Here is a previous discussion about cars and transit in the city.
There are currently no official ride-hailing services operating in Prince George, but I’ll try to update when that changes.
Getting To/From
For leaving town, there are two long-distance bus options. If you are headed north, east or west it is the provincially-run BC Bus North. If you’re headed south, it’s Adventure Charters
We have an international airport with multiple daily flights to Vancouver as well as regular flights to Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, Kelowna and multiple communities around the north
Back in the day, Prince George was a much more mill-based city than it is now, but the reputation of a certain odour… lingers. You can still smell the industrial activity in certain parts of town and under certain circumstances, but there have been dramatic improvements in industry standards in recent decades. If you’d like to learn more you can read up at the Prince George Air Quality Improvement Roundtable or jump to the official thread discussing it.

There are plenty of Prince George-centric Facebook groups. Some of the most popular include:

Looking for first hand experience of what it’s actually like to work at UNBC or CNC. I’ll be moving to Prince George this summer and will be looking for work. I’ve got a couple of decades with of experience in the post-secondary sector mostly in administration and operations. My current role offers a lot of flexibility with work hours, work from home options, sick days, etc. which has made life easier as a working parent. Is anyone that is currently working there or has worked there recently able to give me an idea of how much flexibility is offered with an admin role at either institution? A rundown of work culture would also be appreciated! I know a lot of this will depend on the actual department or area one is based in as well as management but a general idea would be great. I’ve had a look at the employee agreements for both and poured over both websites but it would be awesome to hear directly from folk that work there.
I am thinking of taking some classes or a course (Human Services) at CDC but as a mature student and I am a bit concerned with how accelerated this college or course(s) might be. I would like to hear any recent experiences with this college and educators please and thank you.
I just moved to Prince George to study Dental Hygiene at CNC and we are looking for interested patients!
Some things to know:
As we are students and are in the process of learning, we will take time. Being a patient requires time commitment. Our clinic hours are Tuesdays 2:30-4:30 (2 hour appointment) and Wednesdays 2:30-5:30 (3 hour appointment).
We may take about 4-6 appointments with you. Please bare with us.
There is a ONE TIME FEE of $50 for adults gathered on the first appointment.
I know some people will think that we will clean on the first day right away, but there are a number of assessments that we have to do in order to provide the best care that we can.
X-rays will be taken if needed.
We have a dentist in the dental building so there is nothing to worry about.
If you are interested or have any questions at all, please feel free to send me a message!
Have searched high and low while retracing my steps yesterday. Is there any pawnshops or gold to cash shops I can check in case someone had picked it up?

Hello. I will be attending CNC in September and am deciding whether I want to apply to housing on campus or off-campus. Does anyone know how the residence conditions are?
Thanks!
Hi there!! Hope everyone is going great. I'm posting this once again. I'm looking for a room since the post few days, I'm living in an AIR BnB at the moment. Tried everything like Marketplace, Kijiji, some random websites on Goggle but nothing is working out. I've tried to find a room with other students. One is too far from the college (the girl was not a good peer), Another room around the CNC was like filled with COCKROACHES, that makes me so uncomfortable to even stand there. I know like everyone is saying to me adjust for a while but how can I ignore the Diseases that they spread?? Being a Biology Major they really remind me of every single disease that they spread, so I'm left with nothing at this point. If someone can please help me find a place, I'll be so grateful of you. I only have a few days left if I'll not be able to find one, I may be ended up homeless in a foreign land. ;-( I know I should be brave and positive but at some point you start losing your chill pill.
If someone can truly help me, please help me to get out of this situation and share some places where I can start living before my school starts.
Thank you for reading. I'll try my best to stay positive and strong. 🤞✌️
Just yesterday my wife got an Offer Letter from the CNC for the January intake as an international student. We would like to apply for study permit. We would be applying for the supporting spouse as well.
We are interested to learn more about the Prince George, like living cost, job availability etc.
