“My classroom experience will resonate with me for the rest of my life. The idea of going to university was nerve-wracking with the perception of being a part of a big classroom setting. However, Algoma University was quite the opposite of my expectations. The professors are bona fide and passionate about their area of expertise and they are adamant in making sure that students grasp the concepts that they teach. I was able to build good relationships with the majority of my professors.”

“Most classes have a relatively smaller number of students and this gives everyone an opportunity to have a more interactive classroom experience. Most of my professors knew me by my name and were up to date about my progress in their classes, which is not common in many universities.”
