Student Sound Offs
"Whether on-line course or classroom, every professor has gone out of their way to ensure I have the support needed. Their respect and caring was genuine. Great positive reinforcement."
"Professors do the teaching! Many of my friends at other universities are taught almost exclusively by teacher's assistants/master's students ... It gives me the feeling that I get more out of my tuition."
"The campus is beautiful, with a lake in the middle and a river flowing through. There is also a forest behind campus in which you can see lots of wildlife as you hike or walk through the trails. Both cafeterias and some study areas look out over this."
"A lot of the programs that dealt with the outdoors were actually done outdoors."
"The best service Lakehead offers is the aboriginal entry programs, especially the nursing and engineering services. I'm proud that Lakehead has programs that assist students from specific backgrounds."
"The tunnels to move around to the different buildings are awesome in our winter months or during rainy seasons."
"I like the sense of safety and community and the tolerance and lack of racism."
"The students who go to Lakehead are what makes the university great. Students who are passionate about environmental sustainability and social justice are drawn to Lakehead."
"I am able to complete my education almost six hours away from the university at a satellite campus in my home town via web cast."
