What are the benefits of coming to uLethbridge over the larger institutions?
“Being a relatively small university, opportunities and connections are much easier to form here because you see the same people so often. Usually I am the child who sits near the back of the class, who walks in, receives the lecture, and leaves. I was surprised the first time a teacher addressed me by name; I assumed that never happened in college because there were too many students to remember.
There are also many opportunities here. I had never thought of doing research until my professor approached me. I have been working on the research project for two years and I have access to computer programs that I did not know existed and that have also served me in other courses ”.
