The academic environment at Lakehead Orillia is very unique. Unlike other institutions Lakehead offers students small class sizes and an amazing campus environment unlike any other.

I myself through LUSU have been able to create The Student 'Xtrakariqular' Club. Through LUSU I was given funds to run new events and add to existing ones to create an amazing university experience for myself, and others. Ultimately S.X.C. was awarded the Rookie Club of the Year award for its active participation in student life around campus for its large contributions.

Lakehead’s small community also allows students to make good connections not only with new friends but with their professors as well. Many of the Professors at Lakehead are on a first name basis with their students. Lakehead University is an exciting place with many new opportunities that come along with a growing school. Since Lakehead offers some many opportunities it is very easy to pick which ones most interest you.

Larry Fiddick has been one of the best professors I've had at Lakehead. Larry as always willing to sit down and explain to you anything about his classes you did not understand. On several occasions I remember receiving lengthy detail messages from him that very clearly outlined an explanation of material from class. Sometimes this happened at 2 pm other times 2 am. Larry Really showed his dedication to students when he did this and that's why he is one of my favorite professors at this institution. Larry was always willing to help any student when they asked for help and it reflected positively in their test marks when they did.
