More Reasons Proving NSAC is the Place to be!!

At NSAC, we make sure our students receive a high quality education while having some fun to go with it. Need to hear more reasons why students choose NSAC after they graduate? Just read up on what some of our students have to say about their experiences so far at NSAC!

NSAC is a very dynamic university, and the campus community is a nourishing one. I am so pleased with the four years that I’ve spent here. I have received a high-quality education, having attained both my Diploma and Degree in Environmental Horticulture Technology, and I’ve had fun. I suppose I might say that I’m so pleased, in fact, that I’m coming back for a fifth year to take some courses I’m extremely interested in, but couldn’t fit into the first four years! This is also allowing me to continue my ongoing extra-curricular activities here at NSAC, including my third term as Students’ Union President.

There is certainly something at NSAC for everyone, whether that be athletics, or other recreational activities, being involved with clubs and committees of every subject matter, or just being comfortable in your surroundings. There is such a variety of people here, and yet the community atmosphere is also obvious and important. With our beautiful gardens, great faculty, friendly faces and our knack for fun, NSAC makes just about everyone feel at home.

My name is Russell Campbell and I am a student entering my second year at the Nova Scotia Agriculture College. As a recent graduate from a small, rural school on Prince Edward Island, I found that the transition from high school to college was very smooth.

The other students, young and old, were friendly, which made for a comfortable environment suitable for both socializing and learning. The small class sizes and excellent teacher-student ratios provided an excellent challenge, but still made it possible for me to have fun and socialize with many of the friends I made while living in residence.

Attending NSAC also allowed me to pursue other interests from High school, such as Rugby, drama, and Judo. I look forward to returning to Nova Scotia Agriculture College in September

My name is Charlotte Reid and I am originally from Debert, Nova Scotia. I enjoy the outdoors, scrapbooking and the culinary arts. I strive one day to be a professor in the field of aquatic science.
As a NSAC graduate, the university has been a catalyst in helping to make my future plans a distinct possibility. During my time at the university, I was a strong student who made a great effort to do well academically. This has helped me to graduate with High Honors in May of 2005, with a B.Sc. in Aquaculture. As well, I am holding an NSERC USRA (Undergraduate Summer Research Award), working at the college for the summer of 2005. I am looking forward to beginning my M.Sc. at Mount Allison University later this summer, working out of St. Andrews Research Station.
The university not only has a wonderful, supportive staff, but the facilities are amazing. Through my courses, and on-campus positions, I have been able to achieve hands-on skills that will be useful in any position that I attain in the future. Also, I have had many opportunities during my four years to work on and improve my oral communication and research skills, which both are essential to my future career plans. Not to mention, I have made life-long friends that have made my time here not just enjoyable, but lots of fun too.

Hey! My name is Emily Fraser, I am in my fourth year animal science degree and I am from Dartmouth (and no I am not from a farm). When I told my friends I was going to NSAC they thought I was crazy, a school of only 700 in Bible Hill (the village). Wow am I ever glad I didn't listen to them!

It is hard to explain to people how amazing NSAC is without them actually experiencing it themselves. This is a school with professors that honestly know you by name, and will sit with you for hours making sure you understand the information. As I prepare to write my MCATs in August, I realize what a great education I have and how much those small class sizes and hands on labs payed off.

Aside from the fun I've had with sports teams, dissections I've done in labs, and crazy nights at the school pub, what makes NSAC seem so amazing to me is the way everyone gets along. This place is the most down to earth and click-free school around. When you are at NSAC you are an Aggie and you belong. At the risk of sounding too corny, I have to end by saying if you choose to go to NSAC you will love it and be calling it home before the snow begins to fall. The NSAC will change your life, giving you confidence to become the person you want to be. See you in the fall!!

Hey everybody! I'm Carley Thomas and i am a 19 year old student here at the NSAC. I am going into my 3rd year of the Animal Science degree program and i am thinking of minoring in plant science just to expand my knowledge and experience. Alot of people from Truro think they would only come to the AC for two reason. Either to enter into Pre-Vet or because they have nothing else that interests them and mom and dad say you have to go to university. Well...I fitted into both of those categories on that firstday of school a few years ago. But I've learned the AC is so much more than that.

There are so many neat people and lots of things to be involved in. I play soccer and the girls on the team are some of my best friends. Its a small school so i know just about everybody which is nice because I dont feel lost in the crowd. Also, the profs all get to know your name and interests by the end of the year and its not hard to track them down for extra help. The work is hard and there is a lot of studying that a person needs to do in order to be rewarded by good grades but the library is only a short walk away. So, I hope this interests you into staying in Truro..because comeon...living at home is the cool thing to do.

My name is Kara McCarthy and I’m 19 years of age. I was born in New Glasgow but then moved to Stewiacke as a child and then finally to Truro in my teenage years. I’ve grown up an avid sports player, basketball being my ultimate favorite but soccer and badminton follow a close second

The first year at home Arts program was the right choice because I could enjoy the social part of University but when I needed to study I could go home and avoid all the distractions and I had my family there to support me through the struggles of first year University. Plus, I saved a ton of money while getting an excellent education.
