Starting Your Journey in Canada
At Bow Valley College, we strive to make your journey a smooth transition!
Bow Valley College is the only public, comprehensive community institution in Calgary and area, providing service to over 16,000 learners each year. We are located in downtown Calgary with another eight regional campuses in Alberta. BVC is proud to be one of the most multi-cultural educational institutions in Canada with students from more than 148 countries including over 1,300 International students each year!
Studying abroad is always a positive and exciting experience. However, this experience could be challenging as you leave your comfort zone and live in an environment with new cultures, language and climate.
At Bow Valley College, we strive to make your journey a smooth transition. You can first explore the
housing options posted on our website. Homestay programs help students integrate with Canadian culture and improve English language skills. If you have friends or family in Calgary, we encourage you to connect with them and receive support when looking for accommodation. By networking with people you know or in your cultural community, you will adapt well to the new environment.
