My favourite things about Loyalist
I love how small it is and how the professors actually take the time to get to know you and help you out. You're more than a number.
My Orientation experience
Orientation was quite some time ago for me, but I found it beneficial to me in order to start meeting people in my program and building those relationships.
Why I enjoy working on campus
Working on campus is really beneficial because it cuts down the amount of travelling you have to do to get to school and work because you work in the same place.
My favourite place to hang out on campus
Gymnasium
Why I chose Loyalist/program?

That's too hard to pick...so many great professors.

What advice do you have to offer students on staying balanced between their academic responsibilities and social life?
I would have to say that to everyone it is different, some people get so engulfed in being away from home and having freedom that they lose sight of why they are there in the first place. Some people need to work hard at achieving a certain grade while other people do the bare minimum. I would just say, know your goals and work at achieving them.
Why I recommend Loyalist to other students?
I think it's such a great place to go to school. In my experience, the professors know what they are talking about and work so hard at helping you understand, as long as you're putting the effort in yourself.
My post-graduate plans
I just hope to get a job in the field and then hopefully head to university and my degree.
