Choosing the right school is one of the biggest decisions to make when going to college. While you can do plenty of research online, nothing compares to visiting the campus in person and experiencing the environment for yourself. That’s what an Open House at College is: an opportunity for you to explore the campus, learn about programs, as well as check out the services, support, clubs, and other details you won’t find on the internet.
Centennial College’s fall Open House is happening November 16th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., across all campuses. Find out all the details and get yourself registered here. But more importantly, here are four reasons why you don’t want to miss it:
1) Meet everyone in person
When you visit one of our Toronto college campuses, you’ll have the opportunity to see our learning spaces, find out about programming, and ask questions. You’ll also have time to meet your professors and fellow students–the people who will be a big part of your learning experience. It’s basically your first networking event, where you can begin to forge connections that may lead to future career opportunities. And even if you’re not looking to network, socializing with as many people as possible will be beneficial, especially if you're joining a smaller campus community where familiar faces will be everywhere.
2) Open Houses tailored to your program of choice
There’s a lot you can study at Centennial College, and each of our five campuses focus on a different set of programs. Know what college program you’re looking for? Search for your program here to confirm which campus you want to visit. Or, read an overview of each campus and learning site to find which one is right for you. No matter which College Open House you go to, you can take a tour of our state-of-the-art facilities, meet our faculty and staff, as well as current students, and explore programs and courses that are specifically focused on what you want to learn, and the career you want to get into.
3) Apply for free
Typically, when you do your college application, there’s an administrative fee. But when you attend Centennial College’s Fall Open House, you can apply without the fee, thanks to a free application voucher you can get during the event. So, if you like what you see, you can start your journey on-site. And that’s not the only financial shortcut you can grab while at the Fall Open House.
4) Win $5,000 towards your education
Attending the Open House could pay off in more ways than one! During our Open House, you’ll also have the chance to win $5,000 deposited on your Centennial College myCard (your student ID) through a special contest. This can be used for campus purchases, including school supplies, textbooks, residence fees, food and more! To enter, simply visit one of our Application Stations during the event.
