a short five-minute drive from campus,
the town has been pretty much annexed
by students, choosing it as the place
to congregate—from a coffee crawl, to
hanging out at Trinity Western House.
Businesses throughout Fort Langley
welcome TWU's students every fall, and
many have partnered with TWU in offering
discounts through the Spartan Club.
3. INCLUSIVE STUDENT-CENTRIC
COMMUNITY – "INSPIRING
HEARTS AND MINDS"
Local and international students
are attracted to
TWU's community.
TWU offers a fully accredited, elite
international education where they
are free to explore holistically who
they are in one of the safest and most
peaceful nations in the world. Langley
is located in British Columbia, which is
renowned for its natural beauty, and is
close to Vancouver, a global destination
city. Students have come to TWU
from across Canada, overseas and, in
growing numbers, from across 20 U.S.
states, up from just two states a couple
of years ago.
"
TWU equips you with life skills that
are not taught at other institutions. The
loving, open and accepting community
here helps students grow, find
themselves, and go on to mentor others."
—Erin Turko, TWU student

For seven years in a row, Trinity Western
University has received an A-plus ranking
for quality of teaching and learning.
"Our faculty continue to distinguish
themselves as national and international
leaders, inspiring the hearts and minds
of students and peers alike. In terms

competed for and received more
funding than ever before."
—Bob Kuhn, TWU President

A powerhouse in university sports, TWU
has won a national championship at

the 2016 Rio Olympics, four of them in

focused individuals who understand
teamwork, discipline and self-sacrifice."
