Nipissing University

As a well-known centre for academic research, Nipissing University offers modern, top-level facilities on campus. For academic study, the Harris Learning Library has specialist books, digital resources and many study areas. In 2012, the library received the American Library Association's Interior Design Award. Additional research facilities include laboratories for chemistry, biomechanics, physics, robotics, geomatics and ergonomics.

The campus also has the Robert J. Surtees Student Athletics Centre. Here, students will find various leisure and sports facilities, such as gymnasiums, squash courts, fitness studios and weight rooms.

On campus, students will find a welcoming and laid-back community. The establishment promotes a diverse and civil community, which creates a safe and relaxed environment for all students. In addition, there are plenty of activities and events to enjoy whilst studying at Nipissing. The Residents' Councils regularly organise events like potluck suppers, skating parties, the winter carnival, athletic events, movie nights, and coffee houses. In addition, students can participate in intramural sports or join one of the 25 clubs.

Located between Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake near the City of North Bay, Nipissing is surrounded by natural beauty. As a result, students can head off campus to explore protected natural areas, heritage forest parks and historical sites. Furthermore, the two lakes host various exercise and water sports activities, including biking, fishing spots and boating.

In North Bay, students will also find a laid-back community that is welcoming of students. Here further sites and activities are available, such as art galleries, local festivals and public beaches. But for a larger city experience, Toronto and Ottawa are approximately three and half hours' drive away.
