Testimonials

"SLC Experience: As an international student, Canada was a whole new step for me. After being enrolled in St. Lawrence College, Cornwall as an Environmental Technician student, I was always inquisitive about the culture over here and started making new friends. Gradually, I received help from my peers and teachers not only for curriculum but other extra and co-curricular activities. Thus, the experience became truly a great one! "

"SLC Experience: Canada welcomed me in Jan 2019 with its white snow. A lovely environment with diverse cultural groups united by love and humanity. With a little fear inside me along with lots of expectations, I started my studies here. As the days went on, I created great bonding with all my peers and faculty members. SLC gave me an opportunity to interact and connect with people from different cultural backgrounds, languages, and ethnicity. "
