The students from Sheridan college surpassed our expectations at Payfi. Their commitment to understanding our product and proffering solutions to improve our service and product was excellent. The marketing and social media focus group was excellent. I would say they exceeded my personal expectations as I have not experienced students working like it was actual work.
