Student Sound Offs
"The quality of education is quite high; we might be able to drink you under the table, but we can write better essays than you while we do it."
"An English community in Quebec -- the best of both worlds."
"We don't have many TAs because we don't need them. Professors grade and aid students in almost every program."
"It is easy to know your professors, their expectations, and get their feedback."
"We aren't totally isolated from the world. Downtown Sherbrooke is really only a five minute drive down the road. It only feels like the country out here."
"The school spirit is fantastic. At a sports game you would never know that we're just a school of 2,000 students."
"Because the faculty is much smaller than at other universities, there is a limited number of courses to choose from. Sometimes courses are not offered during certain semesters."
"There are few teachers in each department, therefore if there is a teacher with whom you do not get along or have trouble learning from, you will most likely spend several classes with this teacher."
"Not a lot of opportunity to interface with the real world. We don't take classroom theory and apply it to the real world."
"Alumni stay involved many years after graduating."
