Georgian College

Life at Georgian College

When you become a student here, you become part of the Georgian family.

There are plenty of opportunities to socialize and make new friends on campus – action-packed orientation week, all-ages events and 19+ pub nights, clubs, peer mentors, part-time employment, volunteer opportunities and much more!

Our active students’ association ensures students have a voice at Georgian, from the day they arrive on campus to the day they graduate.

Excellent athletic facilities and fitness classes, varsity sports (go Georgian Grizzlies!), intramurals, extramurals, recreation and trips offer plenty of ways to stay active.
