Keyano College is a post-secondary institution located in Fort McMurray.

I attended Keyano College for 2 years so I know it inside and out. 

You may be a Keyano student (or planning to attend), and you might be wondering what there is to do in the neighborhood if you take a few moments off studying. These ideas should be extra useful if you don’t have a car, as most of them are pretty close by...

Here are a few options, ordered by distance from the college:

Walking Distance Food Spots

1. Panago Pizza: This is a totally unbiased opinion...except that it’s not. Panago Pizza is AMAZING! Try out their Veggie Korma pizza and thank me later.  
2. Also located across from Keyano College is Mucho Burrito Fresh Mexican Grill. Who doesn’t want to taco ‘bout it?
3. Quiznos is an amazing sub spot right beside Panago. 
4. Wok Box is also just a 2-minute walk away.

Walking Distance Miscellaneous 

1. There is a Circle K (gas station) right across from Keyano in case you need to fill up your tank.
