Small towns offer big rewards

From Acadia University

When students decide to study English in Canada, some only consider studying in large cities like Toronto and Vancouver. However, its variety of language programs, friendly atmosphere and beautiful surroundings make Acadia University, in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, an ideal place to study.

Acadia University offers a variety of programs to suit the various needs of beginning to advanced English language learners.
