Ken: Graduate students should think about studying at the Ridgetown Campus
[Music fades out]
for a variety of reasons.
Probably the first and foremost is because of its applied,
[University of Guelph logo and text fade out]
applicable, relevant, industry-driven research program that's here.
Very few other places that allow you to actually drive a tractor, to actually see your data set beyond just the working in a lab space,
to actually be able to focus and drill down on applied problems, so I think that is one thing.
The other thing is the atmosphere that's here. It's small-town which, and rural, which often is another piece of flavour that's
not for everyone but some really flourish and drive and enjoy that.
I also think because of the faculty that are here, the faculty are very much accessible, very relevant, very much mentorship-oriented,
very student-focused and try to make sure that

the student has the best experience possible.
