What is the best thing about being an NC international student?
The people you get to meet from different countries and the relationship you develop with new friends, peers, professors at the College and within the Niagara community. That is certainly an enriching experience.

Computers
There are over 1,000 computers at each campus for students to use free of charge. Each campus has student open access labs, which have many computers for students to use. The labs are open early and remain open late, so students can do work in the computer labs after classes. Each lab is equipped with pay for use printers. All computers have high-speed internet access and are free to use.
Multi-Faith Rooms
Niagara College recognizes and appreciates that many students require a private space to practice their faith. For this reason, we have space allocated for students who wish to worship and reflect and for student faith based groups to congregate, including a multi-faith room and Wudu washing area.
Location of Faith Rooms:
Welland – S157
Niagara-on-the-Lake – beside the gym entrance (Lower Ground Floor, West Wing)
Location of Wudu Washing Areas:
Welland – Women’s S154, Men’s S155
Banking
There are several large banks in Canada and most have branches throughout Niagara. Students are encouraged to open a bank account as soon as they arrive. It does not cost anything to open a bank account and all that is needed is your passport. The best bank is the one that is most convenient to you.
