For the Family

We know that the decision to leave home and go to school in another country often involves the whole family. And we also understand that there are many questions that need answers before you can make a decision.

We want you to feel comfortable with Northwest College as the right destination for the student in your family and have therefore tried to anticipate some of your questions with answers.

If you have any more questions or clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact us.
