Cape Breton University sees major boom in enrolment due to international students

The campus in Sydney, N.S., now has the second highest enrolment after Dalhousie University in the province, which has 18,836 full-time students registered. .New figures are indicating that one of Atlantic Canada’s smaller universities is seeing a boom in enrolment due to international students coming to Cape Breton.

The growth dwarfs the increases in other Nova Scotia universities. For example, at nearby St. Francis Xavier, in Antigonish, N.S., the student enrolment only grew by 22 students, from 5,789 to 5,811 in the same time period. The statistics released indicated the Cape Breton school’s increases have largely come from international students, which has been the focus of its recruiting efforts in recent years.
