Augustine College


What students have said about Augustine College: 

I would be a great deal further from the person I hope to become without 
my year with the profs and students at Augustine College.
- Andre Nimigan, Biology and Philosophy, St. Francis Xavier University

In the beginning I never imagined that the experience would be so thrilling... 
I thought it would just be a year of transition between high school and university.
Augustine College will influence the whole rest of my life, intellectually, socially
and morally.
- Kristen Costello, English Literature, University of Ottawa

The wide breadth of knowledge that I was exposed to at Augustine will enrich my life
intellectually and spiritually for years and years to come.
- Greg Papazian, Physics, University of Waterloo

What made Augustine so incedible was the community of people that God called here:
diverse but unified, excellent faculty mentors, and friends -the best I have ever found.
- Rachel Johnson, English and Biblical Studies (minor in Art History), Wheaton College

...the opportunity to study amoung others of like mind became irresistible, even to the point
that Augustine College was the only school to which I applied for my first year of University.
- Jody Moerman, Redeemer College

I have learned here at Augustine College that all truth is God's truth, and that beauty belongs
to Him as well, for He created all things. I have learned that Christianity is more that a set 
of rules; it is justice, friendship, a commitment to something far superior to our own powers of 
reason.
- Graham Mann, Studio Art and Art History, Redeemer College

It scares me to think I almost didn't come to Augustine College. My year cound not have been 
better spent. It was an immense priviledge to be taught by such highly learned, deeply wise, and 
above all, very caring professors, who encouraged a great step in my quest towards an informed 
faith. And the best part is that I had such an awesome time doing it, making many friendships
that will last a lifetime.
