Mount students speak out
Sadie Toulany, BPR
“The Mount's PR program has helped me in more ways than one. Not only has the co-op aspect of my degree given me a year's worth of professional, hands-on experience, but I've also made great contacts for the future. Even during a time of economic uncertainty I found employment before graduation!”
Melissa MacGillvary, BAA (Child and Youth Study)
“Since enrolling in the Mount's Child & Youth program, I have gained the confidence to work in various settings. I'm currently learning about child development, special needs and cultural perspectives. The professors are amazing and teach us how children learn, develop and grow.”
Jeremy Neilson, BA (English)
“I love being a recognized part of the Mount's student life. It's such a great community here, people know who you are and are always eager to help. You're rewarded for your outgoing personality and faculty members are eager to help you develop leadership skills that will enable you to be successful in life.”

“I chose the Mount because of the small classes and the great teacher-to-student ratio—and because it brings me back home to Halifax, which is a great place to live.”
Karen Hutt, BA (Modern Languages)

Matthew Matheson, BA (Political Studies)
“My professors have helped me think in new ways and expand my boundaries. Political Studies has completely engaged me, encouraged critical analysis and opened the door to an exciting future.”
Lesek Webber, BSc (Chemistry)
“Chemistry at the Mount is an enjoyable experience; not only am I learning what I need, but it’s fun too! With small classes and personalized education, I feel that I’m getting the best education possible.”
