As a recent Ivey grad, I agree with both the 5-star and 1-star reviews. Ivey is one of the best business schools in Canada. The education I received was second to none. Ivey does have its issues and I feel obliged to outline them.

Most Ivey faculty members are genuinely great people. I've had a number of profs who I know I can reach out to 30 years down the line.

But, I can see the whole "unprofessional faculty members". I will never forget the prof who stole a student's business idea, after he asked him for help, and only backed out after the student got his lawyer involved. Or the prof who tried sleeping with his students. Or the prof who, immediately after being promoted, began abusing her authority and reporting a student she disliked for frivolous activities. Although they're just the " few bad apples", it is more than a little disappointing that Ivey hasn't done anything to address these people.

There is also definitely an issue surrounding accommodations for missed classes as outlined somewhat brashly by other reviewers. The Ivey case method, as great of a teaching method it is, also encourages sick students who should be at home resting, coming to class. With participation being a large component of your grade, you are penalized 1-2% of your course grade for every class you miss. I once showed up to classes with a 38 degree fever, when I should have been at home resting, because I was scared for the academic repercussions I'd face if I didn't show up. Although getting a doctor's note is an option, that is a whole other issue which is not isolated to Ivey.

Best business school in Canada by far, second is not even remotely close. Among the top business schools in North America. The comments trashing the school below are from non-students, Ivey faculty are professionals who always help those in need. Nobody cares more about students than Ivey professors, you can reach out to them 30 years after you graduate

refuses to protect students against abuse and harassment from staff and faculty

EDIT: they also don't care about student mental health. its well known that a prof told a student in distress that talking about mental health is inappropriate. when i brought this up on their facebook profile on a bell let's talk day post, they just deleted my comment. good job guys.

Claims to be supportive of students' mental health...

Claims to be supportive of students' mental health. Then the moment a student asks to miss class or defer a test due to mental health issues, suddenly it turns into "No we won't help you. You have to attend class / write the test. Just suffer through it and hopefully come out alive." even if a student provides the appropriate medical documentation. It's only a matter of time before someone files a human rights complaint on the grounds of refusing to appropriately accommodate mental health issues. Look forward to that day.
