That's so funny. And I don't see anything "repugnant" about the campaign.
Lakehead is a good university, but they have a terrible time attracting students because of their location. No one wants to move to Thunder Bay. My sister had a hard time sticking it out at Laurentian, in Sudbury.
I've been to Sudbury. They've got a decent sushi place, so it could be much worse.
Yeah, but you have to move so far away from all your family and friends (a bit daunting for the average eighteen year old, and adds greatly to the expense of moves/trips back home for the holidays) and it's freaking cold there. I have one letter from my sister dating back to her student days at Laurentian in which she told me what the temperature was, expressed hope that it was at least as cold in Toronto because why should I have it better than my adorable little sister, and begged me to knit her long johns for Christmas.
