Your college should ensure that a variety of internships are available to you, regardless of your field. The college should monitor those internships carefully to make certain that the work you are doing is related to the career you hope to pursue. At Mount Saint Vincent, our facilities are always available for your use because we're primarily an undergraduate institution. Your college education is an investment in yourself, but cost is an important consideration. You should not rule out any college as too expensive before considering the benefits you'll gain by attending or by exploring the financial aid options available to you.
Some colleges provide little more than classes to take.
Where the college you attend is located can have an impact on the quality of your education and your quality of life. A location in a vital and exciting metropolitan area means you have all the resources of the city close by. A more rural location means you have the peace and quiet necessary to concentrate on your studies. Few things say more about the quality of the education a college provides than the reputation it has with employers. If employers come back to campus year after year to hire new graduates, as they do at Mount Saint Vincent, you know that they value the career preparation the college has given its students.
