From Saturday's Chronicle Herald:
The welcome signs are hanging on the residences ready to greet new and returning students to university in Bible Hill.
But one sign that hasnāt been there in the past, the pilipiliĀž» sign, represents the end of one era and the beĀginning of another. This month marks the beginning of the merger between pilipiliĀž» and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, with the latter becoming Dalās Agricultural Campus.
Beyond the name change and some differences behind the scenes, officials say little will change for students. For many years Dalhousie has been the institution granting degrees in Bible Hill.
Alexandre Loureiro, a first-year enviĀronmental science student from Brazil, said he welcomed the merger.
āWeāre going to have a bigger name," he said. āI think itās a good thing."
Loureiro, who started at the school in January, said it was a little early to know if students would see any noticeable difĀference.
For Mitchell Roberts, a first-year comĀputer science student from just outside Bible Hill, staying close to home for school was something he was thinking about and the merger helped sell him on the idea.
āI donāt know if I want to stay here the whole time and itās hard to transfer some courses when theyāre not from a big school," he said.
