Dalhousie University

Being a part of the 250 best universities in the world, Dalhousie University is commonly recognized for its exceptional education and extraordinary scenery. Currently Dalhousie maintains over 15,200 students which of 20% are international students. Moreover, the student to staff ratio is very low 14.9 students per staff member and the female to male ratio is evenly distributed at 55:45. Although these numbers may be boring, we believe that they are extremely essential to the exceptional lifestyle Dalhousie University provides for its students. However, Dalhousie maintains a lower population of students compared to UBC or U of T, but in turn gives the students a better sense of community that many larger schools do not have.

Dalhousie maintains three main campuses in the city of Halifax that are exceptionally beautiful. However due to the small size of Halifax each campus does not vary drastically in setting; each campus is as stunning as the next. Although there is a fourth campus in Saint John, New Brunswick, it is commonly only used for medical training. If you would like to find out more about Dalhousie’s campus you can click here.
