Well it use to be!

Olds college is one of the best colleges in Alberta it's recommended

Its an excellent school.

I. WOULD. LIKE. TO ATTEND. THIS. SCHOOL

I went to olds college. I started in Sept 97 and graduated April of 98. Met lots of people and made some life long friends

I really hope when I'm done high school I can go to this collage for the horse programs<33

I really hope after I finish high school that I can go to Olds for the Animal Health Technology program!

I love Olds College!! Going into the AHT program and I am super excited!

I attended Olds College in 1958,59,60. I was 17 my first year.

We created a close sisterhood of friends who I still keep in touch with today. We have gotten together at reunions over the years and several of us were at the 50th reunion...which was just an amazing time for all of us but we missed a few who had passed on. We also had many fellas come back to the reunion. It was like a "family" reunion except that we all still cared for each other. Haha.

I have always said "they were the best 3 years of my life"!

We learned so much in those years it helped us to learn to take responsibility for ourselves and to realize the only person you can rely on for your success is looking back at you every morning in that mirror. Yes..I LOVED IT!

Honestly, Olds College is an amazing facility. After realizing horticulture is not what I want to pursue, They helped me find the program I truly wanted to be in and its been such an amazing experience so far!

Had a job secured before I had even started finals. Brad McLeod is a great teacher.

Had a great time here

Attending the college was the best time of my life. I met so many people and kept some of them as friends. The memories are what helps me keep moving forward in life because the things I've learned will help me succeed in the future to come. I also really miss my DMP Coffee Shop--where I worked for two years. That was a blast also. I'm also grateful for having the opportunity to live in Frank Grisdale Hall because I love old buildings and my friends were only steps away. I'm currently sitting at home on my couch drinking some Olds College coffee and it's tasting pretty good! Yes, it lasts and lasts, and lasts.....

Agriculture management is a great program

Attended 2000-2002. Loved the small town atmosphere and hands on learning. I spent a year at University before attending the college and it is such a different experience- a much better atmosphere for rural youth.

The Farrier program was awful. One of the farriers brought in to do a demo was drunk and threw a hot shoe at a classmate, nothing was done about it. They played the blame game with us when we had problems or concerns. We were over worked, most of my class was sick and it took me 8 months to get back to normal. And the food is horrible. We were unable to be healthy and work to the best of our abilities when we were being fed garbage food.

Don't go here.
