Why Choose Bishop's
The reasons our students choose Bishop’s are as varied as our students themselves, but the common themes are that our students don’t want to be a number and lost in the crowd, they want to be part of a community, a family, and have their voice heard. They also want to experience university, not just attend an institution of higher learning. Whatever your reason for choosing Bishop’s, remember that we are all Gaiters and are proud of it!
