"Studying abroad in Canada as an undergraduate introduces you to so many aspects of living internationally — the immigration process, experiencing a new culture and location, and putting down roots in a new country. As the top undergraduate university in Canada, Mount Allison provides incredible opportunities for students from around the world to define their own university experience. I cannot recommend studying abroad in Canada — and at Mount Allison — highly enough."
