From the Acadia website:. The Acadia Advantage is an academic initiative unique in Canada that integrates the use of notebook computers into the undergraduate curriculum. It is an exciting undertaking that enhances the university's teaching and learning environment. Acadia's students receive Dell Latitude D600 computers for use during the academic year, and their computers become an integral part of their learning experience. By participating in The Acadia Advantage, students will use today's technology to develop the advanced analytical skills they need to adapt to ever-changing study and work environments.

The university's small town location, about 100 km northwest of the provincial capital of Halifax, and predominantly residential character encourage personal growth through close contacts with students and professors, through participation in intramural and intercollegiate activities, and through a wide variety of cultural programs.

With every student receiving a notebook computer with up-to-date programs and access throughout campus, graduates say they are well-prepared for the workplace. Our students find the Acadia environmet to be rich and rewarding. And, Acadia alumni are the proof as they accomplish important research and pursue outstanding careers worldwide.
