Hi everyone. I’m a first year student in the Business Admin program, and I chose Olds College based on athletics. Not just any athletics team but the rodeo team. Later on, after being admitted did I realize how truly awesome and different this college is.
But first of all, Olds College has an amazing rodeo program in place that allows students to gain college credit through attending practices, class room time once a month, and seminars put on for rodeo students. It’s not just for students that have been rodeoing all there lives but for beginners with or without a horse. The rodeo program has coaches that dedicate their own personal time to helping us every night at practices. For the students without a horse, they still can attend practices but just learn from the ground and by watching. The Olds College rodeo team also puts on three rodeos a year, and the students are a big part of planning it . Not all of the students are in the Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association but some do compete in it.
This summer well I was in Wyoming I had a change of plans in what program I wanted to take, and student recruitment really helped me figure out what I wanted to be when I ” grow up” and transferred everything over for me. This school is the school that went the extra mile to help me know that I was making the right choices, and they made everything very stress free for me .
