Our students’ experiences
“I think land one has helped with the transition from high school to university through the small class settings and being able to meet classmates every day throughout the year. It was also helpful that small classes had instructors that actually cared about our mental and academic success and provided help and support throughout the year.” (2024-2025 cohort)
“I applied for the idea of smaller classes and a more personal, intimate relationship with my professors and that’s exactly what I got. I think it really helped me transition to university and the interdisciplinary teaching style was really beneficial to my learning.” (2024-2025 cohort)
“I appreciated the continued support, patience and kindness extended to me and others every day by the teaching team.” (2023-2024 cohort)
“Joining Land One is the best choice I made this year. Thank you, instructors, for being so supportive and genuine.” (2023-2024 cohort)
“Land One and the friends that I have made as a result has really made this year so incredibly special and memorable. I enjoyed every class (even the challenge of math allowed me to grow as a learner and taught me how to collaborate with others to work through difficult challenges) and adored all of my professors. I have no regrets. Thank you for everything!!” (2023-2024 cohort)
“I really enjoyed how Land One consisted of smaller classes, so that I didn’t need to be in larger and more overwhelming lectures. It was enjoyable, thank you!” (2021-2022 cohort)
“Land One is an amazing program and I would not have made the friends I did if I was to not do it. I felt that I got more hands-on experience and the field trips is something you can’t beat. Going to Malcolm Knapp Research Forest is something I never thought I would do in first year. I would 100% have chosen to apply for this cohort again.” (2021-2022 cohort)
“I feel so supported by the other students in Land One. Anytime I ever needed anything, someone was ALWAYS willing to help me out! I also connected with my profs on a personal level.” (2019-2020 cohort)
“Land One has been nothing short of an amazing experience for me. I’ve made meaningful connections that I strongly believe will last a lifetime […].” (2019-2020 cohort)
“It was really nice to take courses that were connected with each other, and I felt that I was studying content that really was applicable to my degree.” (2018-2019 cohort)
