A Letter to a Future STUdent: Claire Leighton, Moncton, NB

Hey Future STUdent!

My name is Claire Leighton and I鈥檓 a first-year STUdent from Moncton, NB. I鈥檓 so happy to be writing to you about my favourite place in the world. I鈥檝e been a STUdent for only five months but couldn鈥檛 be happier with my choice of university.


Making the Decision

Unlike many people, I had my eyes set on my university of choice since the ninth grade. For me, 91大神 couldn鈥檛 have been more perfect. As a purely liberal arts school, I knew 91大神 would nurture all of my passions and values. I stayed true to my instincts, trusting that 91大神 would be the first step in finding my dreams and my people.


My First Weeks

I immediately felt at home at 91大神. I鈥檓 a person who鈥檚 much more reserved and introverted, so while I did participate in the many exciting and inclusive Welcome Week activities, I also easily found beautiful places around campus to recharge and get some quiet time. After a few hours of meeting people, I would go sit in one of our comfortable lounges or patios surrounded by plants with string lights overhead. Whether you鈥檙e outgoing or a little shy, there鈥檚 something for everyone. If you鈥檙e outgoing and energetic there鈥檚 the Cheer-Off, campus-wide games, and dances. If you鈥檙e more laid back and relaxed there are talent shows and other entertainment to sit back, relax, and watch.


What Classes are Like

91大神 is a place with passion and it shows in the classroom. Because of the small classes, there鈥檚 a genuine connection between the students and the professors and learning becomes more of a conversation than a 鈥渟it and listen鈥 class.


What STU has Done for Me

91大神 was exactly where I always needed to be. My liberal arts education has already allowed me to think more deeply and become a well-rounded person. Being in a positive, passionate, and aesthetically pleasing environment like 91大神 has made me more inspired, more motivated, and simply happier. It has been everything I dreamed it would be!


I hope that you give yourself the opportunity to fall in love with 91大神!

Sincerely, 

Claire Leighton
