Residence Advisor at Student Housing - A great position to have while studying
Residence advisors (RA) at Okanagan College student housing are responsible for looking after the building outside of general office hours, supporting fellow students with housing, academic, social and other needs, and planning student events for student residents.
This is a fun-filled position to have while studying and a great way to build skills for your resume. Although majority of the time, RAs have an easy job, they need to be ready to address any situation. Maintaining confientiallity is highly expected in this position. Extrovertion, assertiveness, and teamwork are all attributes which are used as an RA.
Although not the most rewarding financially, RAs at Okanagan College are compensated with housing, parking, and other benefits. This is also a fantastic position in which to meet new people and develop life-long friendships.
Highly recommend.

great environment, fun place to study or work
Staffs were exceptional friendly and helpful
Parking was usually busy but won't be an issue if you arrive a little early.
Campus was clean and well kept
Bus system was great, sorry no train
Were lots of events in and out doors with free food :)
My friend was a student worked part time at the GYM, minimum wage, but it was an easy job which is suitable for students busy doing homework, for hours of sitting, the only actual work involved was 30 mins cleaning facilities at closing. Always been fully applied though.
I was an ESL & Engineering student, workshop was big, clean, just enough machines to work, sometimes share with others.
English classes were fun and will guarantee to improve your confidence
Integrity here was a priority, so DON'T TREAT :)

Study review:
If you're an international student, You'll really enjoy studying in here like I did.
Student Service building is the best place to chill, 2 ping pong tables, 3 microwaves, 2 vending machines and lots of nationalities to make friends and I am sure you'll feel like at home.
3 stories warm quiet library with mountainous view to study or ask for help
Enjoy your time here!

Amazing professors
I loved going to this college, it was a great experience, and I would definitely go back. I was able to upgrade and take the HCA course and find work after I was done. I still have a few more courses to finish, One day, ill go back.
Pros
free lunches, water botlles
Cons
failed lab because of time
I was a student
I loved my time as a student. It was very enriching. I loved my teacher and my fellow classmates. I feel that I learned allot through this course and it will be a great addition to my background.
Pros
Lots of out of school activities.
Cons
Not enough courses have to go out of town which is not an option for some.
College succeds despite the best efforts of the executive team.
Executive are simply terrible and unskilled at what they do. They do not understand their function and add no value.
The college leaders - deans and directors, supported by skilled administrative staff make this an okay place to work.
Salaries are low and benefits are okay.
Most employees are hired on contracts for 3-5 years before competing for permanent positions.

Good students, terrible management.
The whole goal of OC seems to be to have 100% of instructors as sessional employees who have to apply for their own job every 4-8 months, with no benefits, or hope for the future. Offices are ridiculous, parking is a goat-show, and admin is no help whatsoever. Students are awesome though, and it is fun to instruct there.
Student life was hard but the college helped me
The College really pushed me to be a better person and to work on self care, the health care assistant program was amazing, it taught me all the skills required to be a professional health care worker in only six months.
