A Student Perspective
•
Han Xu (3rd year): “Acadia University is located in
the town of Wolfville, Nova Scotia, approximately
100 kilometers northwest of Halifax. It is very
beautiful and quiet university. The environment and
atmosphere here is very suitable for study. The
computer science program is well respected in
Canada. I am one of the computer science students.
Wolfville is a small town, but there are several
Chinese restaurants, supermarkets and shopping
centers around it. It is very comfortable to live here.”

阿卡迪亚大学坐落在新斯科舍省的喔菲尔市，离省会哈
利法克斯100多公里远。阿卡迪亚是一个漂亮安静的大
学。这里的环境和气氛非常适合学习。电脑编程系在整
个加拿大都很有名。我是其中一名编程系的学生。喔菲
尔是个小城市，但是喔菲尔周围分布着好几个中餐馆，
超级市场和购物中心。对于留学生来说非常适合再这里
生活。
