On February 15th, Columbia International College hosted the 2024 University Fair, welcoming admissions officers from over 20 public universities and colleges across Canada!
Hundreds of students passionately engaged in discussions with visiting reps one on one, gathering first-hand information on programs, campus life, residence, internships, scholarships, job prospects and much more.
The University Fair is one of the largest postsecondary educational fairs in North America. Being Canada’s largest boarding school with the highest number of graduates admitted to universities each year, CIC is proud to be selected as one of its venues. This recognition speaks volumes about the remarkable achievements of our graduates.
