Brock University

About

There seems to be no end to Canadian universities located in Ontario! Brock is one of them. Located in St. Catherine’s, Ontario, Brock University is in the Niagara Region, known for its wine industry and, of course, Niagara Falls. This university teaches you to look at something with both side of your brain: you’ll learn to think both rationally and creatively about different subjects. Brock U has over 17,000 students and 600 faculty members, and while it’s a large campus, it feels like a small community. Also, where else does a badger look so cool?
