I was very happy with my semester at StFX.
Great and knowledgeable professors who were willing to help and wanted their students to succeed.
Management treated me well,
Antigonish is a small town. It has all the basic necessities, but not much beyond that. You get that small-town feel, and if you're into that, you're golden.

Send your kid here if you'd like them to be coddled while getting a degree in drinking. Canada has many better universities to choose from where there are more options for a well-rounded educational experience complemented with healthy food options and diversified social opportunities. There are some great profs and programs, but it's not enough.
