Mount Saint Vincent University — Local services in Halifax

First time enrolling in this university for my Master's. I've been very eager to get started but unfortunately no had to drop a course due to family reasons. I was going to start in September instead. I dropped the course on July 4th and the course started on July 13th. When I dropped the course there was still 4 slots left. I emailed and called the university for two weeks. They made it seem as though is was an error on their end and the director would be crediting my account.

What a waste of my...

Because the class size is small, classmates and professors know each other very well, which you will never find in big classes of big universities. Thanks to the professors' reference letters, now I get a job. I love the Mount! My...

Location is weird and hard to access by bus. Small degree programs. Small class sizes are really nice. The people are generally nice, but many don't seem very willing to connect or want to do things together. People generally don't seem "normal" while I was there. It's weird.

Athletics programs are, well below average to me. Their fitness and athletics departments are generally unresponsive or if they do respond, there's no followup that they promised. I would avoid their gym and programs unless you are a...
