Overall
It has been a few years now since I graduated but I realise I still carry a deep disgust and rejection towards Vesalius college. I studied there full time and the students and staff were both abhorrent in their behaviour and attitude. There were 3-4 members of staff (admin and professor) that were particularly nice but the rest were unprofessional and even unpleasant. One staff member in particular breached confidentiality agreements and put a student at risk. I sometimes pass by the university still today and I feel unease and disapproval every time. The atmosphere is that of an American high school in the movies and not that of a higher level education institution. Students and professors alike participated in gossiping and sharing confidential information such as grades or putting down certain students in front of the others. There were even cheating scandals at the Dean level. Value for money was also not there. The campus consisted of 3 classrooms and 1 downstairs area. Door handles would fall off, lockers would break, in general the facilities were underwhelming. The level of education was satisfactory but not enough to justify the price of tuition.

Careers
They have no careers office. They have 1 person in charge of internships. Internships aren’t necessary to graduate but if interested, you are provided with a list of internship places the university has contacts with. However there is no real work or project based around this and no real paper to hand in after based on the internship.
