Acadia University
Acadia is in tiny Wolfville, with a population just slightly higher than the number of students enrolled, half of whom live on campus. Acadia students spend less time commuting and more time community building ? the university offers a transcript to certify achievements outside the classroom in volunteering, leadership and professional development.

More than 250 students each semester participate in the Sensory Motor Instructional and Leadership Experience (SMILE) program that helps youths with disabilities participate in physical activities. They can also work on service projects through the Institute for Civic Engagement.

The 100-hectare campus site in the Annapolis Valley has ivy-covered walls and sloping lawns dotted with trees. A student-run farm supplies vegetables and herbs.
