Mount Allison University CanadaAbout Mount Allison Mount Allison is a small undergraduate liberal arts and
sciences university known nationally and internationally for the quality of its
programs and research. By focusing on the development of the whole person,
students experience intellectual, social, physical, and spiritual growth and
development. We have been ranked as one of the top two undergraduate
universities in Canada for more than 15 years by Canada?s most respected guide
to post-secondary education, Maclean?s magazine ? a record unmatched by any
other university in Canada. Students graduate with Bachelor degrees in Arts, Science,
Commerce, Fine Arts, and Music. Our flexible programs allow students to combine
degrees, majors, and minors in unique ways that may be more difficult to do at
larger institutions. Location Mount Allison is located in Sackville, New
Brunswick ? the geographic centre of Canada?s Eastern Maritime provinces. We
are just a half-hour drive from Moncton?s international airport and within a
two-hour driving radius of the region?s major urban centres.
Campus Life Mount Allison students are typically very involved. They choose from
over 140 clubs and societies, often find work as summer research assistants
(opportunities that are rare at larger universities), and are active socially
and academically. In our small residential community, students become familiar
with others quickly, and professors come to know you by name. With almost half
of our student-body employed on campus, international students can take
advantage of new legislation in the province of New Brunswick which allows them
to work part-time, both on and off campus, while studying, and for up to two
years post-graduation.
The intimate residential campus
is reminiscent of New England?s ivy-league schools ? a beautiful campus with
historic stone buildings and ivy-covered walls. This intimacy, combined with a
limited enrolment of only 2250 students, allows for the familiarity that
encourages individual growth ? a hallmark of a Mount Allison education.
Our Programs
Requirements for International Students
Scholarships and Financial Aid With a strong and responsive scholarship program, Mount Allison ensures that the best students are able to attend.

Financial aid bursaries, based on need, are also available to students. On-campus Housing Over 90% of first year students choose to live in residence. While all houses are co-ed, there are designated male and female wings in most residences. You can also choose to live in a designated quieter section of residence. You can request a roommate or a single room. Every first year student is guaranteed a residence space as long as proper registration deadlines are met.

Off-campus housing costs range from $60. 00 CAD to $100. 00 CAD per week for boarding and $250. 00 CAD to $600. 00 CAD per month for one bedroom apartments.
