Greater Sudbury, The university’s campus is located on the south side of Lake Ramsey, just south of Greater Sudbury’s downtown core in the Bell Grove neighbourhood, near some of the city’s wealthiest residential neighbourhoods.
The university has a federated school structure, similar to that of the University of Toronto. The school also has an unusual and sometimes controversial student government structure — there are two separate student unions (in addition to the part-time and graduate student associations). Laurentian has been delivering programs in Barrie since 2001 and has a proven track record of being a vital part of the socioeconomic and creative life of the community. They currently serve 1,000 students in Commerce, English, History, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work, and Sociology.

Greater Sudbury (2011 census population 160,274) is a city in Ontario, Canada. Sudbury, as it is commonly known, is administratively separate and thus not part of any district, county, or regional municipality. Sudbury has a humid continental climate with warm and often hot summers and long, cold, snowy winters. The population resides in an urban
core and many smaller communities scattered around 300 lakes and among hills of rock blackened by historical smelting activity. Sudbury is built around many small, rocky mountains with exposed igneous rock of the Canadian (Precambrian) Shield. The ore deposits in Sudbury are part of a large geological structure known as the Sudbury Basin, which are the remnants of a nearly two billion-year-old impact crater long thought to be the result of a meteorite collision, more recent analysis has suggested that the crater may in fact have been created by a comet.
