I Chose Lakehead...


Julie Follis
HBA History, French Minor Graduate MA History
Thunder Bay, ON


Initially I chose Lakehead because I was recruited to play basketball for the Women's Varsity Team.  I played basketball during my first year and had a great experience; however, at the end of first year I decided that playing varsity basketball was not for me. Staying at Lakehead was the right choice for me because of the campus and class size.  I have had the opportunity to get to know some of my professors in the History and Languages departments and many of them have gone above and beyond both inside and outside of the classroom.  It is really nice to learn in an environment where class participation and student-professor interaction is the rule and not the exception. 

The course selection at Lakehead University has been super - I have taken a course on Current Crises in Historical Perspective, the History of Africa during the colonial period and also a course dealing with Canadian Cultural History (amongst many others).  I have also had the opportunity to write an Honors Thesis which allowed me to work directly with one of my professors, Dr. Burnett. 

Thunder Bay is a great city and there is so much to see.  For people who love the outdoors there are hiking trails, lookout points, rapids and beautiful Lake Superior.  I regularly attend most of Lakehead’s varsity basketball and hockey games, I help coach high school basketball, I walk dogs at local shelters and I am involved with tutoring at some area schools.  I spend my spare time with family and friends; I also like to stay active by running or going hiking. Your university experience ultimately depends on your attitude - embrace all great things that Lakehead University has to offer."
