Campus Culture

Friendly. Dynamic. Diverse. Proud.

Dalhousie’s campus reflects a diverse mix of students from many different backgrounds that come from across Canada and around the world, bringing culture to Dalhousie in a variety of forms.

At Dalhousie, culture is:

  • celebrating La Velada, an annual Latin American fiesta legendary for its food, music and dancing
  • opera night at the Dalhousie Arts Centre
  • cheering on residence teams at our annual Charity Cup Hockey Game
  • friendly conversation on the colourful adirondack chairs around campus
  • participating in Green Week and promoting environmental sustainability on campus
  • a game of ultimate frisbee on Wickwire field
  • heading out with friends for Trivia Night at the Grawood or the T-Room, Dalhousie’s campus bars

Our rich campus culture not only ensures that you’ll find plenty of people who share common interests, but gives you an opportunity to try something completely new. Explore more of campus life at Dalhousie.
