Hey folks,
I had kind of intended to make this thread last year, when I was still deciding which university I wanted to go to, but I never got around to it.
I went out east to get a feel for the prospective schools, and checked out Dal and Acadia. I really dug the small town vibe in Wolfville and was stoked on Acadia in general. Eventually though, I went with McGill because I had basically decided that if I got in here, I'd go. So as such, I'm starting out on my university career here in Montreal.
Thing is, I find myself wondering what it would have been like if I'd gone to Acadia, which was basically my second choice. I got a tour of the campus from the son of an acquaintance of my dad's and the kid did a good job, but he was painfully nerdy and didn't really describe the party scene or like what people did for fun, y'know? I didn't really get the perspective of someone who was more my type.
So I am now retroactively turning to you. Does anyone go there, or have any insight into what freshman/undergrad life is like at Acadia? What are chicks like there?(The day I toured campus I literally did not see one hot girl. I know that sounds shallow but it IS a deciding factor.) Is there skiing to be done there? I know Wentworth is within range, but does anyone ski urban around Wolfvile?
Thanks for any and all insight, it's much appreciated.
Sam
