good thing about the school …its size … bad thing about the school …its size. Either way you look at it the school is 50/50 on everything from academics to social life in my opinion. But it is up to you to make the most of it. What bothers me the most about LU is its not busy enough or lively enough and social activities are minimal. Some days its very very quiet, the only time its busy is during class time. I hate that that the library is never open 24 hrs and generally closes at 10pm. There is not a wide variety of food choices on campus. The amount of food chains here I can probably count on one hand. However the surrounding campus is beautiful nature wise and sometimes the peace and quiet is welcomed especially during exam time. In terms of programs I can only speak for science. The profs are ok, I had one chem prof who was awesome. They are helpful and easy to access because class sizes are really small compared to the larger universities. Had I had a choice again would I choose laurentian again? no… my reason because its not busy enough, not enough extra curricular activities or social groups. I swear all everyone always talks about is pub, nothing exciting or new and fresh happens here.
