Description from Wikipedia:
Acadia University is located in the picturesque town of Wolfville, Nova Scotia, approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Halifax, the provincial capital. Founded in 1838, by the Baptist Community, Acadia’s beginning was the result of the commitment and enthusiasm of a community determined to build a university. The University has been shaped by their spirit of hard work and dedication to the principles that everyone should have access to university regardless of gender, race or religious affiliations – a spirit which continues to guide the university today.
Acadia provides a high-quality education based on excellence in teaching and research. In 2007, it ranked first in Maclean’s Magazine (tied with Mount Allison University) for Best Overall in the Primarily Undergraduate University category. Learning at Acadia happens in a stimulating environment that reaches beyond its state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories and extends into the surrounding community. Acadia’s average class has 26 students, which helps to maintain an intimate learning environment for students. The faculty’s commitment to personalized education means students are continuously exposed to national and internationally recognized research initiatives. Acadia’s undergraduate research experience and honours programs are some of the best in Canada.
