  (According to Globe and Mail – GlobeCampus)

Don’t take it from us; here’s what students say:

• "I get fantastic hands-on experience, particularly because I'm in the geography program. We are located right on the edge of a forest, with a river, so it is the perfect location to learn how to use all of the tools that are required by geographers today."
• "The best thing ... is being able to see your professors outside the classroom and they greet you on a first-name basis. There is nothing better than being able to talk to your professor like they are a friend."
• "There is a large focus on research at the undergraduate level which does not always happen at larger universities. This gives Nipissing science students a path to further education and graduate schools."
• "It is in a very scenic, northern setting. There are many trails on campus and a pond and waterfall to relax by to relieve stress and just think."
• "The residences here are amazing with excellent dons and managers and activities. The residences are new and have amazing laundry, phone and kitchen facilities."
• "Recreational and athletic programs offer a wide variety, lots of activities to sign up for, appropriate for all levels of skill."
