In many ways, Humber College is a great place because of its program intensity and affordability. They also have very helpful and excellent professors so there is a good chance it’ll be a great experience for you. According to Webometrics, it ranked at #71 among Top Canadian Colleges in 2019. 

Humber College provides a B.Com in International Business programs with a duration for 4 years and is quite affordable as well costing about $57,988. Humber emphasizes hands-on, career focused learning and provides you with a broad range of credentials. Here are some top advantages of going to this place:

• They offer incredibly intensive programs. You learn a lot in an incredibly short period of time. If you are willing to do nothing but study then you will get so much out of the program.
• Humber college is budget friendly and excellent for students looking for affordable degrees.
• Faculty is really good and they know what they are doing.
• It also has special Human Resources classes and personnel who help you create the best resume, get interviews and land jobs. 

You have to work your way to the top at Humber to excel as a student. Get in touch with the professors and human resources to get the help you need to move ahead. You have to use your resources while you are there. However, you might not find many prospects there and might have to move to a better place to get a good job. 

You can try putting in your resumes in different offices and locations so your chances to land a good job increase. Being an immigrant, you’ll also be facing competition from other immigrants who have graduated and are looking for jobs in a job limited economy. However it all depends on your needs and what you want for your career.

A Humber education helps the students to take the classroom learning experience into the real world. These programs mix theory and hands-on learning, giving students the opportunity to gain practical experience in small classes and learn from expert faculty who have extensive industry experience.

While Humber is an incredible college, it does not boast of the same reputation as a traditional four year college. This by no means is a jibe at Humber College. If you don’t have the money for a four-year college, rather than going into debt and putting more burden on yourself, you should apply for Humber and work your way up there.

As both are good colleges, there is no right answer to this question. Humber College ranks #20 and is among the Top 50 Research Colleges in Canada. It is also a lot cheaper if you compare a Humbler diploma and a York degree. If you are comparing equivalent credentials, there might not be a difference at all. A quick check online shows York's domestic undergrad fee to be $7,743. At Humber, a degree is $7,737.84. So tuition wise, there is not too much difference.

Humber College also provides 28 undergraduate courses whereas York university has a staggering 106. No. Of scholarships provided by Humber and York is 25 and 27 respectively.

As far as degrees are concerned, York would be better known as a degree-granting institution. However, others might value the more practical content of a degree from a community college (technically, Humber is now an Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, but few people know that and still fewer could explain the significance).

Here’s a factual comparison between the two:

Other factors would include the actual program to be studied (perhaps one is better than the other), the locations of the campuses, activities on campus, housing, etc.

After weighing all the pros and cons the student has to make the final decision. Keeping in mind your goals and what you want from your future you have to choose carefully and make the best of the option you choose.

Since you’re an international student from another culture altogether, staying on campus will definitely help you a lot. It is always better and convenient than off-campus locations as it’ll save you the hassles of flat hunting, interacting with totally new people. 

However, vacancies in hostels are really less and you must apply for residence as soon as possible. So make sure you’ve applied for it as soon as you receive the offer letter. International students are better off staying on-campus at least for the initial period as it saves them a lot of time, effort and money spent on understanding the local areas.
