Student Experience

Combined with its enviable natural setting of freshwater lakes and boreal forests, it offers an outstanding quality of life.
The Laurentian University campus is nestled among five freshwater lakes and our natural setting is minutes from the downtown area and comprises more than 765 acres of land that adjoin the vast Lake Laurentian Conservation Area. Nature is at the core of the University’s identity, and learning here, in this awe-inspiring natural environment, is a true pleasure for the senses. It is an environment in which you will thrive.

Student Testimonials
Read about the experiences of past international students.

As a Francophone coming to settle in Canada, I discovered the Franco-Ontarian culture. Attending and participating in all of these activities made me aware of the size and strength of the Franco-Ontarian community, then encouraged me to value my language, and be proud of it.
, -
As an international student, I faced a number of challenges to get where I am today. Laurentian has been great to me. It’s like home to me. I can’t say enough. I am so thankful that Laurentian University has given me the tools to achieve my goals and succeed at the next chapter of my life.
