A technical school with an emphasis solidly on vocational training. The campus life is almost non-extistant as people are only there to get training to get a job, not to get an education.
Having attended two trades programs here and spoken to students and faculty in several departments I'd give NAIT a solid middling rating. Some programs and years are better than others as the school struggles to hire and keep competent intructors and develop course material. The predominant atmosphere is mildly authoritarian and slightly ignorant, but some faculty members are more enlightened than others. Some instructors really know their stuff and others bumble along leaving a wake of stressed students trying to find a way to learn what they need to know.
The gym is well equipped, the pool is large and open early, there's a hockey rink and a hockey team, and there are good cafeterias scattered around the place. Lots of perks.
