C is for Crow!

Crow?

Yes...crow... The Mount property has lots of crows at certain times of year. There are many stories that surround why these birds are around campus. Want to hear them? You will have to come to campus to find out!...In the meantime I will tell you about our famous lounge area on campus, "The Crow's Nest" so named because of the crows on campus.

The Crow's Nest is a small lounge area that really feels like a living room. There is a TV, couches, computers with internet access and a printer. The Cornerstore is also right next door so you can grab a snack, a cup of coffee or one of many other options to enjoy in this warm and cozy study/hangout area on campus.

A is for Apple!

Hello Everyone!

So I'm starting the ABC's of The Mount... What are the ABC's of The Mount you ask?

Well they are the basics of why The Mount is the BEST University around.

Soooo

What do the two have in common? Well Aramark is our food provider on campus. They are all about bringing healthy and tasty choices to the students of the Mount.

Our meal plan works as a declining balance, so you pay only for what you eat which means NO money wasted! Check out ARAMARK for more info! Meal plans are also included with your residence fees and are mandatory in Assisi and Birches 1-4.

This is what November means...

Hello readers!
I am reporting to you from Philipsburg, Sint Maarten. It is beautiful, sunny, and around 30 degrees celsius everyday! A little different than our campus in Halifax, but I am still near the water and I feel at home.

While this time of year is busy for us recruitment folks, I was thinking to myself today that I want to share some advice with students out there. I remember while studying that November is always a busy, busy month for university or college students (who I work with a lot). It is also a hectic time for students in high school. I can relate to all of you in feeling the crunch of November, and I don't just mean those leaves under your feet!

What I want to remind you all to do is remember to take some "breathing" time everyday. At this time of year for university of college students, you are up to your eyes and ears in group projects, research papers, and exams are looming just around the corner. Everyday you must do one or two of the following: sit back and eat a full meal without studying at the same time, or head up to the Fitness Centre and rock a step class, or run, run, run on the treadmills. Read some silly gossip on the Internet. Look at pictures on Facebook (even some of ours! I will have a lot of new ones up next week!).

For students out there in high school. If we haven't been to your school to visit yet - hold on - we're almost there!! While you are working on mid-terms and praying for upcoming snow days, you are considering your options for next year. My advice is the same for you, take a break and soak up the greatness of your last year in high school. Take advantage of the social events, but also study a lot! Your grades from this semester could really help you out at scholarship time.

Once January hits it is application time! Until then, get through busy November day by day and December will feel a lot better - I promise!

YOU’RE Famous!

After Open Campus Day I not only realized that I’m famous…but you are too! I spent Open Campus Day trying to find all the students I met before at their own high schools just to say hi. No autographs or anything, but I did try to get some applications in…and those have to be signed…so it’s kind of the same thing! You really are like celebrities to me! It’s so exciting to talk to interested students. I’m spending the next week in NB which is great. I have had a lot of students this week asking about how hard it is to go to med school, law school and other graduate programs from the Mount. The answer is, we have several students who apply to these programs and get in from our undergrad programs. Work hard, get to know your professors and get involved as much as possible during your undergrad to help pave the way to these programs, but for now focus on choosing that first degree that you will be enjoy and be able to excel in so you keep the doors wide open when you are finished!

Ciao 4 now
