Be You @ BU Fall 2022 Magazine

My name is Landen Delormier and I am a psychol- ogy student here at Bishop’s. My time at Bishop’s has been nothing but posi- tive. I used to attend a larger university with over thirty-five thousand people. As a student, you can get lost in the shuffle of things and have trouble finding resources for academic reasons as well as mental health reasons. It was impossible for me to meet my teacher. I have never spoken to one of my professors at that other university. At Bishop’s, it has been a breath of fresh air being able to be part of a small, close-knit community like the one we have. Teachers want to meet with you and have conversations, sometimes the resources even find you! My email is flooded with updates and news on when and where resources are located. The staff from Indigenous Resources met me at an event and told me about it which led to me being the new Turtle Island intern. It’s also been easy for me to make friends on campus when participating in things like the Bish- op’s Archway program and O-week. This is also the school with the most school spirit by a mile. EVERYONE WEARS PURPLE. EVERYONE. You will too when you attend Bishop’s and you will see what all the hype is about! I have made many great friends here and I am looking forward to the rest of my years at this school. Hopefully there are not too many of those left.

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE BISHOP’S
