Visiting College and University Campuses

Each college or university campus is notably different. Post-secondary education extends beyond the classroom into other aspects of campus life. These include places like the library, the cafeterias and coffee shops, the residences and off-campus housing settings, the recreational facilities, as well as cultural events, student governments and clubs, varsity, and intramural and recreational sports. Visit as many campuses as you can. This will help you get a “feel” for the life of the institution. Ask yourself, “Will this college or university meet my needs and expectations? Will I feel comfortable here?”

Many Canadian schools provide special information days for secondary school students. Some of these events are designed for students who are interested in specific programs, such as engineering, environmental sciences or physiotherapy. Other special events, like open houses, will provide an overview of the range of undergraduate and graduate programs available at that college or university.

Campus tours are available at most Canadian colleges or universities in the Fall and especially during March Break. Check your ontariouniversities.ca and ontariocolleges.ca websites for more information.
