Student life

At Douglas College, we want your educational journey to be positive, enriching and a well-balanced mix of learning and living.

Our job is to make your experience the best it can be.  We’ll introduce you to the campus and available services, look after your health and wellbeing between study sessions, help you build your resumé in preparation for life after Douglas, and much more.
