St. Lawrence offers a really good opportunity for students who
want to study abroad. There are so many places you can choose
from and they are open to pretty much anyone. St. Lawrence offers
a lot of options, both on campus and nearby, from cities like
Ottawa and Montreal to the wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains.
One of the reasons why I wanted to come to St. Lawrence is the
small class sizes. In many universities the classes are huge,
with hundreds of students, and you have to deal with a TA (Teaching
Assistant) if you have any questions--you never get to actually
know the professor; here at St. Lawrence, however, the professors
really care about the students and the classes are small enough
(typically numbering in the teens) that there can be lots of
student/professor interaction.
