4 CAMPUSES 1 COLLEGE Each one of our four campuses are steps away from nature trails, lakes and any other outdoor activity you can imagine.

Local breweries, restaurants, music festivals, camping, hunting, fishing, hiking – it’s all right here, and it’s all affordable.

As a Northern student, you’ll explore a world of exciting new possibilities. And discover more of yourself along the way.

Our tight-knit communities foster friendship, resilience and leadership. And that means you get broader access, exposure and networking opportunities — without the barriers that may exist in larger urban centres.

STUDENT LIFE When we talk about “campus life” at Northern College, it’s so much more than classrooms or halls.

We’re talking about the energy of people learning and collaborating, creating and sharing. This is where you’ll realize your potential — academically, socially, and creatively.

The most popular student life events at Northern College include NOWCHA, Indigenous Week, and winter activities such as skiing and tubing.

Working together with Northern College Student Association (NCSA), the year is filled with a variety of local and internationally inspired events.

16 NORTHERNCOLLEGE.CA

The Northern College Student Association (NCSA) is for students and led by students. As a student-driven not-for-profit organization, the NCSA seeks to create a warm and inclusive experience where everyone is welcome and celebrated.

Every student pays an activity fee which means you are automatically a member of the NCSA. Throughout the year, the NCSA rolls out a calendar of services, events and activities to build connections, promote joy, and bring the community together.

NCSA directors also make key decisions that affect you. So get involved!

As a student, you have the right to vote for the Executive Board. We encourage you to take it a step further and run for a position yourself.

After all, there’s no better way to improve your leadership skills and fully enjoy the Northern Experience than by getting involved right from the start.
