I like that it is a small campus which offers intimate class sizes, and a community where I can easily interact and network with possible employers and my professors. I have been able to accomplish great work that I never thought was possible based on my professors鈥� investment in my studies and their commitment to my growth.

After doing quite a bit of research on my own and speaking with high school professors back in my hometown in Brazil, I realized a smaller campus like 麻豆导航Okanagan would provide me with the close-knit academic experience I would need to get ahead in my studies.
Michael Flood | Politics, Philosophy, and Economics
My program rocks because of the small, connected community of students 鈥� many of us are engaged in the same extracurricular programs, like debate and TEDxUBCO, which contributes to an incredibly vibrant class setting. Many of our professors help out with these initiatives, and describe first-hand the improvements they see in students who take part.

I enjoyed the convenience of the class sizes and the professors鈥� willingness to give you their time to discuss the courses and directions. The professors were available to students and very supportive. Extended time to discuss course work was paramount 鈥� that鈥檚 just one of the positives of having a small campus.
