i have to say that i have never been in a more delightful atmosphere. i am not going to sugar coat it and say that it was something it was not, as i did have my run in with a few profs, but for the most part, they are human beings and are the most supportive group of people you can imagine at the end of the day. As for the nay Sayers, we all have our days, and they do as well. You keep an open mind and remember that you can only do your best, and approach the experience with an open and honest effort, you will have a marvelous time. I got good marks in subjects i was passionate about, and barely passing grades in subjects that i was taking because it fit my schedule. I will say, you will not find a more passionate group of people from the President (Mike DeGagne) right down to the support staff who keep the University clean. In case you don't know me or have never met me, I am an older student, and served in the Canadian Armed Forces and a veteran of the 1st Gulf War. I served for 11 years and worked at Ford of Canada for 16 years. I have seen my share of experiences around the world and on an assembly line, and there is nothing like going back to school if you have the opportunity and get your BA in something that intrigues you. To all the people that i have met in my University experience, thank you for treating me with respect and i hope that your degree takes you to the heights you deserve. Thank you Nipissing University and all your staff for a great 4 years and I appreciate all you have given me and what i am able to take forward.
