This school, although located nearly in the tundra, was the absolute best 4 year home. The professors here were genuinely invested in my learning as a student, but more importantly they were invested in how I grew as a person outside of the classroom. I loved the “small” school feel, and loved how involved the community was. Also, if you love the outdoors and being adventurous, there are a plethora of options here for you!
Loved the small classroom sizes! Allowed me to get close with students and professors to enhance my learning environment. In the future, I would like the school to update its technology for all students such as moodle and there payment suite/ degree audit site.
I haven’t gone yet, as I’ll be a freshman this fall, but from what I’ve seen the professors really want their students to succeed. The small class sizes creates allows the professors to create a bond with the students in his/her class, and they’re very willing to help their students. There are no TA’s, which is extremely comforting as all of the big university do. Being able to actively get help from either my classmates or my teachers has always been incredibly important to me, because depending on the subject, I struggle a bit more.
The campus is pretty nice, but the only thing you’d have to watch out for is if you don’t like winter. It’s winter for at least 8-9 months out of the year there. LSSU does a pretty decent job of creating winter activities for students so you’re not bored out of your mind. The community is pretty supportive, whether it’s the campus or the Saul Ste. Marie community.
