Airport pick-up service
A college representative will personally meet you at the airport and take you to your new home. We will be able to answer any questions you have and help make your first days in Canada and at Niagara College very comfortable.
This service is provided for a nominal fee.
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.
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.
