Transferring to Brock in the fall of 2019, my time in the Business Economics program was truly transformative. From the outset, the university’s exceptional quality stood out, but it was the warm and inclusive community that truly set Brock apart. The atmosphere of acceptance made forging connections effortless, fostering a sense of belonging from day one.”
