“The campus is also located right down the street from the Glebe which meant lots of opportunities to get to explore the community.” —Emily Harrison, second-year criminology
“Your time spent here is worth while, and your degree will translate into something worth while.” – Frank Smith, co-ordinator of the National Association of Disabled Students

“My favourite part about Carleton’s orientation program is that the statement ‘you only frosh once’ actually isn’t true . . . Orientation brings us all together.”—John Mesman, president of the Carleton Academic Student Government

“It feels like you’re living in a little town, and you don’t need to leave campus if you’re living on res. Also, if you want a safe place to drink, socialize, and meet up with other people you can go to Oliver’s at morning or night and just enjoy the perks.”—Khadijah Beckles, second-year French

But a lot of first years come in, and they don’t know that, and they’re sort of scared to talk faculty members, which is just dumb because we’re here to teach them. And so, most of us love it when they come to visit us, and that’s what we do, that’s what we do best.”—Robert Burk, Chemistry professor
