Mount Allison University Returns

We had another good visit with Charlie Hunter from Mount Allison University. Aside form being a great speaker, he always gets all of the students engaged in what he is talking about. And what he is talking about is always important. It also helps that this year we have a couple of students that are seriously considering Mount Allison as their first or second choice.











I think what his presentation did best was make clear the advantages of attending a smaller school that is focused on the student. I try to make this point with you as well. Many of our students would benefit from this close personal attention when they attend university. Going to a larger school may seem like the best choice because of its ranking or name, but is that what you want from your university years?



What you should really look for is the 'best fit'. This is a term you see a lot in counseling and it means finding a place that is best for you, not best because of a subjective ranking which is totally remote from you. Maybe a large school in the heart of a large city is best for you, in that case you should choose the best one. If it isn't, don't make the mistake of going to one because other people think it is the best for you. We will have more visits throughout the year, with two more next week.

And finally, a picture of my son Yousif, the artistic genius.
