Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Stayed in the residences over the summer a couple of years ago. What a great facility and lovely campus. The residence workers were great to put up with us and the common room was great with live music every couple of nights.

This place is amazing if you like to spend the time between the nature. It's so big, has four paths for walking, a pound (it has a lot of ducks and you can give them food) and a lookout.
Another thing that you can appreciate are all of kind of flowers from the province, that are labeled with their information.
I think that the weather is a clue factor for enjoying this place, because if the day is rainy, maybe you don't want to stay outside for a long time, also the photos could have less light, but in a good day, I think that you would have great photos.

This university (and the entire city, really) is an underappreciated gem in the Maritime provinces. I graduated with a BA, and I enjoyed my time here immensely.
