I attended Mount Saint Vincent University 5 years ago. At the time they were the only University in Halifax that would accept credits from Nova Scotia Community College; so after completing my diploma, I transferred to MSVU to get my degree (which would only take me 2 additional years). I loved the atmosphere at college, and Mount Saint Vincent Univeristy mirrored that for me- small class sizes of 30, teachers who know your name, school spirit, you know everyone on campus, and quality education. The campus itself is beautiful and a nice escape from busy city life. If you're living on campus, they have renovated living spaces, a meal hall that provides healthy food, and the gym has great fitness classes for exam time stress relief! Overall, my experience at the Mount was exceptional, and I highly recommend it to anyone!

I was attending Mount Saint Vincent University up until last year, and I have to say it is an excellent school. The professors are all top notch, and not only do a great job teaching but actually enjoy it. They all know your name, and you feel as if they are as much a friend as they are a professor. I'm on a first name basis with some of them, and often hang out in the offices a few of them (along with many other students).
The only reason I stopped attending is because I decided to switch my major to Computer Science, which The Mount only offers a minor in. A small complaint, however, since it's just not it's main focus.
