If I can DM you, that would be fantastic. Thanks for your help!
I also posted this in Lakehead University's reddit. I want to post here for more opinions.
I need some help with my program. I've gotten accepted to Lakehead University's 3-Year Compressed BScN (Bachelor's of Science in Nursing) program in Thunder Bay, ON and Kwantlen Polytechnic University's BSN (KPU Bachelor's of Nursing) in Langley, BC. Both programs are similar for content and of equal length. I am in my late 20s and coming back to school.
To be honest, I haven't had the best experience in my first undergrad program. A lot of mental health struggles, bullying, exclusion, and abuse ruined my experience. This program feels like a second chance. I am hoping to have a truly euphoric, social, and wonderful university experience where I can make a core, solid group of friends. I want this program to be a redemption arc and to make up for what I suffered in my first undergrad.
With this in mind:
Would Lakehead be considered a good school where I can form these long-lasting friendships and get this university experience that I missed out on?
What about Lakehead University's 3-Year Compressed Nursing in particular? How does that fare in terms of a good university experience for socializing and making friends?
If Lakehead is not readily conducive to making friends or having a good university experience, what are some things I can do anyways to obtain these things here?
Is there anyone who is familiar with both Lakehead and KPU who can offer any insight?
Is there anything else I should know?
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate any advice!

What about KPU's BSN/Nursing program specifically in KPU Langley's campus? How does that fare in terms of a good university experience for socializing and making friends?
If KPU is not readily conducive to making friends or having a good university experience, what are some things I can do anyways to obtain these things here?
Is there anyone who is familiar with both KPU and Lakehead University who can offer any insight?
Is there anything else I should know?
