Campus St. Jean, which is a direct branch off from the UofA, has little to no appeal in it’s younger generations. The lack of funding takes a toll on the staffing as well as the technology. While most of the basic 100 and 200 level courses are offered there are discrepancies with the more advanced classes, seeing as many of the professors have been put on leave / laid off. Due to this lack of staffing, there is no one to teach the 300-400 level courses; this derailed my current degree and I am now switching majors. Concerning the technology, the classrooms are out of date and 90 per cent only have chalkboards and whiteboards. Sadly they cannot afford smartboards and it impacts learning as well as general satisfaction.

Although it may be the only Francophone post-secondary education in western Canada, I definitely regret not taking a leap of faith to more established and populated Francophone schools located in Quebec.
