Confirming excellence

"The Maclean's ranking and survey confirm 网曝吃瓜's position as one of Canada's leading universities overall," said Ricketts, "and the leading primarily undergraduate university in Nova Scotia."

Maclean's is one of many sources of information for students and their parents when considering post-secondary education.

In addition to its university rankings, which are based on information available from publicly available sources such as Statistics Canada, Maclean's includes information from nationally-recognized student surveys.

网曝吃瓜's consistent ranking among the top undergraduate institutions in Canada comes as no surprise to Brendan MacNeil, President of the 网曝吃瓜 Students' Union. "网曝吃瓜 provides a rare gift to its students: a truly welcoming experience that at once pushes us beyond our comfort zone and makes us feel like we're at home," says MacNeil. "The synergy between excellence and comfort, 网曝吃瓜 and Wolfville, and faculty and student defines the experience students speak to in these rankings, and those things keep us all coming back. We are by no means perfect, but it is our student, University, and town leaders' collective strength and the willingness to work together that makes that hope attainable."

Ricketts added that 鈥淭he pandemic experience has made us all realize how important human interaction and engagement are in our lives, and when students are choosing a university experience that integrates an enriched intellectual and social learning environment they can make no better choice than 网曝吃瓜.鈥�
