I found the environment at Canisius to be one of a caring, concerned and helpful family. The small class sizes as well as the quality and availability of professors are advantages I really appreciate. I chose Canisius because it allowed me the privilege of receiving individual attention with encouraging personal words from staff and students. I found the professors to be friendly, understanding, yet firm in their expectations. Maturity adequately compensates for any length of time adults may have stayed away from formal education.
Motivation gives adult students a distinct advantage in any classroom setting.
Adults have a decided advantage in the educational enterprise when they bring a yearning to learn and an active orientation to their studies.
