Student Sound Offs
"This is a small university, so people do not just fall into the background. Students are able to be themselves and be recognized."
"We have an awesome network of campus trails and wilderness areas used for recreation and research. We also have a wonderful, private sandy beach right on campus."
"The medical school that has just opened has many advanced tools and equipment, and offers an education that parallels McMaster's."
"There is a lot of important and cutting-edge research going on here."
"Employers in Northern Ontario take graduates of Laurentian very seriously in the hiring process."
"There is no student housing within walking distance of campus, so most students are forced to live in residence all four or five years."
"I feel safe. Sometimes I leave my laptop in the caf and I can be sure that when I go to get it, it will be there!"
"Our student card also doubles as a public transportation bus pass. We pay an annual fee of about $150, which is incredibly affordable and convenient for students."
"Since it's a small school some teachers are required to teach subjects they don't necessarily specialize in."
"The student services are amazing here. The bursaries, as well as availability of help, for students with disabilities is above average."
