Student Testimonials

-
My professors are approachable and very considerate. They also explain our lessons very well which made me love my program. London has a lot of parks and restaurants to hang with friends. My advice is to work hard until you reach your goals and never quit because Fanshawe is always there for you.
, -
The professors are among the best teachers I’ve met. The services provided by the careers team helped me get a part time job as soon as I arrived. I believe I am ready for the competitive market and being a Falcon has moulded me to chase my passions and given me the confidence to achieve my dreams.
, -
Coming to Fanshawe College has been a rewarding experience for me. Leaving my family and friends was a scary experience for me. I now have my own family, comprising of friends I have met from various nationalities and cultural backgrounds at Fanshawe. It has truly become my home away from home.
