There are so many things I like about my program! We learn a bit of everything like marketing, sales, and a lot about Québec and its regions. We also get to do a lot of volunteering and field trips, which is really fun and entertaining. The college is in a great spot too everything is nearby like restaurants, bookstores and shops. Overall, it’s an awesome program for friendly, outgoing people who love to travel!

We, second year tourism students at Champlain Saint-Lawrence enjoy the versatility the program offers as well as the engagement of our outstanding teachers. Our program give us to the chance to travel, have a concrete hands-on view of the tourism industry. The transition from high school to Saint-Lawrence is enjoyable, and you will feel right at home.

What I liked most about the program was how immersed I was in the real world. Between the role-playing, practical projects and field trips, you really learn by doing, and that gave me a better understanding of the tourism business. Studying in a bilingual environment also helped me develop my communication skills, which are essential in this field.
