“Reflecting on my time at King’s, what stands out most is the best-of-two -worlds experience it offers. Smaller classes and a tight-knit community made a large university feel far less daunting, while the proximity to main campus gave me access and flexibility to step outside my comfort zone when opportunities arose. This balance created a foundation for lifelong friendships and productive learning, and prepared me to navigate new and challenging environments— sometimes all in the same day!”

Dan Toman BA ’06 Criminology Director, Sports Products & Audio, Sportsnet

“

The four years I spent at King’s were some of the best of my life for so many reasons. I knew upon graduation that I was well-equipped to move on to the next stage of my education, my Master’s degrees, and after that, the work world. But even then, I never could have predicted the striking impact my King’s education would have on my future career as an author. The history courses I undertook ignited my passion for storytelling, providing rich narratives that continue to inspire my work. The curriculum’s emphasis on critical thinking and scholarly inquiry equipped me with tools that have been invaluable in the research I do as part of my writing process. I can never recommend King’s enough to any high school grad looking for the best place to broaden their mind and spark a lifelong love of education.”

Juan Bernal Diaz Université Catholique de Lille – Full Year 2023-24

“My year-long exchange at the Catholic University of Lille in France was amazing! Not only was I able to improve my French, but I also got to immerse myself in French culture. The university itself was very welcoming and helpful since there were many international students. The city was lively and easy to adjust to with many things to explore. I made so many great friends from all over the world, creating lasting friendships. Being in Lille made travelling around Europe very easy and I got to experience 12 new countries. This experience has been incredibly memorable and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something new.”

“In my opinion, King’s is a unique oasis in the Canadian university landscape—it is a home away from home, a place where lifelong friendships are built, where professors care about the success of their students, where staff want to make the experience as positive as possible, and where students are given the education, the opportunity, and the confidence that is so necessary to finding success and happiness in the world in which we live.” Mike Lawless BA ’02 History Head of Apple Music

“King’s gave me the space to figure out who I was and what mattered to me... the community and support there helped me believe I could do something meaningful.”

PROFESSIONAL ALLIES

“The King’s experience was essential to the success I have had today in my career in public service for the Government of Canada. I was able to take advantage of so many opportunities. From being the president of the Political Science Students’ Association to participating in various experiential learning opportunities such as international travel experiences, the school’s environment was built for the optimal student experience. I am eternally grateful to the school for giving me the experiences needed for a successful career, and in particular, the academic and professional experiences that I still draw upon today. King’s was like a second home to me—I would recommend to any student thinking about post-secondary education to consider King’s University College as their top choice.”

Christopher Fernandes BA ’18 Political Science and Social Justice & Peace Studies Senior Policy Advisor, Deputy Minister’s Office at Natural Resources Canada

“King’s was a small school—but it made a big mark on my life. Its size made it easy to feel at home, to raise your hand, and to dive in. The faculty were exceptional. People like Professor Trevor Hunter pushed me to think deeper, aim higher, and love learning. I also made lifelong friends at King’s—and the kind of memories you still laugh about years later. I never imagined I’d one day serve in this role. But the truth is, King’s gave me the foundation, intellectually and personally, to get here. Thank you to the entire King’s community for your commitment to excellence.” Sandra Cobena BMOS ’10 Finance & Global Commerce Member of Parliament, Newmarket - Aurora
