Good teaching professors
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

My program at Laurentian University had good and knowledgeable professors. The community for international students was not qualified and I believe it could be better. LU is located in a very beautiful location in Sudbury. <br><i> Review provided by EDUopinions (www.eduopinions.com)</i>
