I was able to live out my university experience while also maintaining close ties to my family, so I\u2019m incredibly grateful. I also had several close friends who were attending Lakehead, and it was so nice to spend the first few years learning the ropes and figuring out how to be a university student with people I love and trust.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe some of your best experiences so far.<\/strong><br \/>One of my favourite experiences was spending a semester on creative writing under the tutelage of a published Canadian author. In another one of my fondest memories, one of my instructors structured a class like a courtroom and we analyzed a 16th-century text. Students played the parts of judge, jury and convict. It was a great way to learn while also having fun<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you involved in extracurricular activities?<\/strong><br \/>I highly recommend getting involved with clubs and extracurricular activities early in your university career. I wish I had made more time for it, and I don\u2019t want others to miss out. This year, I\u2019m lucky enough to be the editor-in-chief of the English Students\u2019 Association, and I\u2019m excited to be a part of creating this year\u2019s edition of Lakehead\u2019s literary magazine, the Artery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of your professors?<\/strong><br \/>I have the most experience with the professors in the English department, and they are all absolutely wonderful. The English department is truly like its own little family. The professors are super <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roachable and helpful. They\u2019re also a ton of fun to talk to, even if you want to just pop into their offices for a chat!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of the school\u2019s administration?<\/strong><br \/>While it may seem intimidating to plan and register for classes, prospective students should know that it\u2019s actually super easy! It\u2019s also really easy to get into the classes you want or need. If for some reason you didn\u2019t get in initially, you simply have to email the professor or the chair of the department. More often than not, they can help to rectify the situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is off-campus life like in Thunder Bay?<\/strong><br \/>Off-campus life in Thunder Bay is very relaxed. Since we live in an area surrounded by nature, there are a variety of outdoor activities to participate in year-round. We also have a growing downtown area with a growing number of local retailers and restaurants.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>PROFILE<\/strong>: <strong>Lakehead University | Thunder Bay, Ont. | Founded 1965<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>If I wrote the school motto:<\/strong> \u2018Nature and nurture\u2019<br \/><strong>Best place to live:<\/strong> Off-campus in Fort William<br \/><strong>Best place to study:<\/strong> The library<br \/><strong>Best campus events:<\/strong> The annual job fair<br \/><strong>Weirdest tradition:<\/strong> Always having to high-five Wolfie (mascot of Lakehead\u2019s varsity Thunderwolves) when you spot him on campus<br \/><strong>Best campus food:<\/strong> Boba tea from Milktease<br \/><strong>Best cheap lunch:<\/strong> Local grill house<br \/><strong>Best pizza:<\/strong> Pizza from the Foundry Pub<br \/><strong>Best place for a fancy dinner:<\/strong> Lot 88 Steakhouse<br \/><strong>Best giveaway:<\/strong> You can win free first-year tuition if you meet the requirements<br \/><strong>Best bar for hanging out:<\/strong> Shooter\u2019s Tavern or On Deck Bar &amp; Grill<br \/><strong>Best live music venue:<\/strong> Black Pirates Pub<br \/><strong>Best hangover breakfast: <\/strong>Tina\u2019s Breakfast and Lunch<br \/><strong>Best place for a nap:<\/strong> The couches behind the Agora<br \/><strong>Best weekend activity:<\/strong> Walking around downtown Port Arthur and discovering new shops and restaurants<br \/><strong>The thing that surprised me most about the school:<\/strong> How kind and welcoming everyone is<br \/><strong>If I could change one thing about the school:<\/strong> I\u2019d love to connect the tunnels with the Advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a> and Academic Centre<\/p>\n<div class=\"under-article-widget-nl\">\n<p class=\"under-article-widget-title\">Looking for more?<\/p>\n<p class=\"under-article-widget-description\">Get the best of <em>Maclean&#8217;s<\/em> sent straight to your inbox.
