Student Testimonials
Read about the experiences of past international students.

I tried to find the best college for further study. I checked reviews and saw that this college is very helpful to international students. All my teachers are very polite. They know that English is not our first language. That’s why they always review the material more than once and take their time.

I won an International scholarship with Northern College and want to thank the donors and the Northern College Student Association for selecting me for this bursary. I have received my scholarship of $500. Thank you very much for it. I am in the Environmental Technician program.

I came to Canada and to Northern College in January of 2018. Everything was new for me here, especially in Northern Ontario. I don’t know how to express how much Northern College and the Northern community has given to me. I’ve learned so much from my professors, Deans, my employers.
