Last year A\J produced its first at-a-glance guide to Canadian campus communities with environmental degree programs. We were motivated by the idea that it can be frustrating to try and compare the living experiences at different postsecondary institutions using only their websites. Every single school seems to organize its information differently and the specifics you’re looking for are often buried.
Last year A\J produced its first at-a-glance guide to Canadian campus communities with environmental degree programs. We were motivated by the idea that it can be frustrating to try and compare the living experiences at different postsecondary institutions using only their websites. Every single school seems to organize its information differently and the specifics you’re looking for are often buried.
A\J has simplified this task by researching the factors that matter most to your bottom line. This chart allows easy comparison of tuition or residence costs, transit pass rates and indicators of sustainability initiatives on campus. It is by no means intended to replace an elaborate consultation of university websites. But we hope it will make your decision a far more pleasant one to make.
Good luck – we wish you all the best on your journey!
