"I like the small class sizes, having a small amount of students in a class let's me concentrate more on the lesson, and helps it feel a lot more informal, which is a good thing. You're able to connect, and the professor is able to see if the students are indeed, understanding. I like to be able to approach my professors after class and have them know who I am. They know how I'm doing, and know how I can improve. The school is very academically helpful and focused, but the informalities allow for ease of access, and generally friendlier people.

The reason I chose this program is the small class sizes, and the diverse program which will make me a very prepared teacher. I love that I can take psychology, and still be in an English specialization. It provides a better preparation for the classroom, with being able to understand why children/people make the choices that they do, and react to them. With the beginning of Education courses so early in the program, it allows for more chances of experience to put into a work portfolio. It's small class sizes allow for more hands on teaching and better learning. With a Lakehead University education, a person becomes a well rounded individual intellectually, as well as more experienced in the end."
