Dalhousie Represents the True Meaning of Education, Belonging and Leadership
.
Canada, Undergraduate
, 2026
Overall
I am currently in my 6th year of post-secondary school and in my first year at Dalhousie. The campus, resources and classrooms honour the true meaning of diversity, equity and inclusion. I feel a deep sense of belonging, acceptance, safety and security while earning my education, and learning the skills and tools to master my dreams, goals and potential. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to earn my education on this campus to ensure that I can earn a spectacular career and make a difference in the world.

      My ordained destiny is to create artwork and literature to mobilize people to come together to create change within their communities for complex social issues. The social issues I will be focusing on will begin with the most venerable populations that are often not honoured a seat at tables when policy’s, laws and procedures are made about their equity seeking groups. I will educate people about the causes of social issues, prevention, ideology’s that contribute to them and what people can do in their communities to prevent them from escalating. I will use my artwork and literature to inspire through lived experience and story while honouring authentic leadership to represent change, growth and possibilities for a catastrophic shift in ideology’s. The shift in ideology will allow for the most venerable equity seeking groups to have a sense of belonging within their communities, significantly reduce crime rates and demonstrate the significant potential of divine oneness to ensure that we allow the most venerable people to contribute to our interrelated destinies by recognizing the power of divine oneness. 

Pros of earning my education at Dalhousie:

1) I firmly believe that all of my professors, the staff and leadership are extremely ethical, professional and well respected. They honour diversity and inclusion in their classrooms and spaces. I am beyond grateful for this. 
2) Our president is inspiring and a spectacular leader. She ensures that we all feel like we belong, included and welcome. She sends us welcome letters on the first day of school and a first day of school song list to ensure we are cared for and prepared for our journeys. She is authentic and values the true meaning of diversity, inclusion and leadership.
3) The campus is willing to constantly evolve by receiving feedback about anything at all. They also constantly evolve in regards to diversity, equity and inclusion to ensure all people feel a sense of belonging while reaching their goals. 
4) I am excited to see what my future holds during and after my educational journey

Cons of earning my education at Dalhousie:

1) I am extremely devastated that I didn’t decide to come to Dalhousie sooner because they offer a discrimination free school, stigma free classrooms and I feel safe here. Not all schools are willing to evolve like Dalhousie. 

Feedback and Ideas: 
1) Professionals and leaders please take time to rest and relax while knowing that your authentic leadership of having integrity, respect and compassion makes a significant difference on campus for your students. No need to be anxious about not being good enough or worrying about what needs improvement because you are already enough. Your authentic personalities and leadership while ensuring you represent diversity and inclusion is already more than most campuses.

When you get there, the bars/clubs/liquor stores all I.D. Therefore so you dont have to take your passport/driving lisence out and risk losing it, go to the Halifax Mall and get a "Novia Soctia I.D" It is govenment approved and everywhere accepts it as I.D. At only $14 it was well worth it. Buy a bit of booze duty free on the way over, you might as well, since your leaving the EU. You'll save a bit of dosh. Party Hard, make the most of it But above everything, go there with as much money as you can, save, save, save over the summer, apply for extra student loan from your LEA, maybe get a few hours a week part time job while your there if you can/want to because the more money you have, the more socialising/travelling you can do!

Basically you'll love it. As i said before it's a nice student oriented city. Good transit system. Decent mall, great nightlife. Good education especially in sciences. The local students say that Dal is generally for science students while St. Mary's is a Ars/commerce school. Final statment: You won't regreat it.

Computing services, though OK, can be improved. I spent some time in The University of Calgary afterwards. This was a good poit for comparison
