Brock University - Ten Reasons To Further Your Education Here.
By Rob Parker
If you are considering going to a university for graduate or undergraduate studies, Brock University in St. Catharines Ontario might be just the place for you. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why so many students choose to make Brock their centre for higher learning.
Mid sized university. A thriving and healthy student population in a university of middle size means the possibility of an active social life, available at much larger universities, but with more attention on individuals when it comes to scholarship. If you have ever been to one of Canada’s mega universities, you know that it is difficult to stand out in the crowd or receive attention from professors even during lectures; a mid size university can make all the difference when it comes to a meaningful, hands on education.
Great location. Access to all of the amenities in the city of St. Catharines makes Brock a great place to live for students both in terms of living choices and recreational pursuits.
Choose where you want to live. The campus housing at Brock is of a very high standard, but if you want a more personal experience there are plenty of housing options around the university or in the rest of the city.
Great range of undergraduate programs. Any aspiring undergrad will be delighted with the range of options available from Brock.
Good range of graduate programs. Brock offers degrees in arts and sciences for graduate students, and is unique in that it also offers a four year Master of Divinity degree through partnership with Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary.
Athletics. Brock is known to field some very competitive teams in Canadian Interuniversity Sport in 13 different varsities.
Consistently high student ratings. Brock University has been featured in surveys of major universities carried out by publications such as Maclean’s and The Globe and Mail, and has continually placed high in student satisfaction.
Extra curricular participation. One of the great things about the university is that a whole community can be created on campus, and many enjoy the exchange of ideas flowing freely in common gathering areas. Brock enjoys a very popular Thursday night tradition of drinking and dancing at Isaac’s.
Great campus housing.
