"The student centric approach and reasonable tuition fee of NSCC continue to make me feel I made the right choice of studying here. I am thrilled with the learning supports made available to international students which go beyond faculty in-class activities but encompass building connection with my new community through the International Student Ambassador Program. Feeling included in a diversified community is one experience I will forever cherish."

"NSCC has been like a second family to me as an international student. I've met people from all around the world, which has been amazing. They also supported me to learn abroad and work while studying which has been a life-changing opportunity. I highly recommend considering NSCC for studying in Nova Scotia."
