Michael Barter
"I began my education at Bishop’s with a major in English. A course in Classics in my third semester sparked a passion that I hadn’t realized I had. I graduated with a double major, Classics being one of my degrees. Taking courses with the Classics department was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The friends that one makes in the department are amazing and the faculty is both welcoming and exceptional; both in their teaching and the help that they are willing to provide their students. To all who take classes with any of the wonderful professors, good luck and listen well."
Thomas Chilton
"Studying Classics at Bishop's University has been a fantastic experience. The faculty is outstanding, passionate, knowledgeable, and always there for their students. I wouldn't trade my Bishop's Classics experience for anything in the world, and it fits so well with my second passion – classic cars!"
Tristan Matheson
"I took Classics because learning about ancient cultures is essential since it is the foundation for some of our modern day philosophies, language, political systems and architecture to name a few. Without understanding their roots how can one begin to understand these disciplines as a whole in today's society? Plus who wouldn't want to read about the brutal Romans who like blood and gore?"
Alex Schuller
"Studying Classics helped me realize that from humor to politics, people across centuries never change."
Phoebe Chan
"Studying Classics helped me learn more about our common past, and understand the present - which allows me to plan for the future."
Jared Jodoin
"Classics has always been a personal passion of mine! The professors of Classical Studies at Bishop's University are also passionate about what they teach, and this has allowed me to greatly broaden my knowledge of the field of study."
