<p>I'd recommend you go to <a href="http://www.macleans.ca/universities%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.macleans.ca/universities&lt;/a> (the Canadian equivalent of US News Rankings) and look under "Primarily Undergraduate Universities". That will give you a complete ranking and list of the "smaller" Canadian U's. </p>

<p>St. Francis Xavier, Mt. Allison, Acadia and Bishop's are probably the best ranked schools in your area.</p>

<p>I also have the paper edition of the magazine which provides a lot more information than does the web version, so I will give you some schools on that list with student populations under 7000 that are near NE:</p>

<p>Bishop's University (Lennoxville, Que.) - 2,165
Trent University (Peterborough, Ont.) - 6,038
St. Francis Xavier (Antigonish, NS) - 4,215
Mt. Allison (Sackville, NB) - 2,200
St. Thomas (Fredricton, NB) - 2,100
St. Mary's (Halifax, NS) - 6,346
Acadia (Wolfville, NS) - 4,074
Moncton (Edmunston, NB) - 5,027</p>

<p>I don't know much about what these schools offer in terms of programs, courses, majors, etc., but hopefully that will give you a starting point.</p>

<p>WE HAVE LOOKED AT MCGILL, WATERLOO, GUELPH, MCMASTER AND QUEENS; BUT MY SON WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT THE SMALLER UNIVERSITIES NOW. i PERSONALLY THINK THAT THE ABOVE SCHOOL MIGHT BE BETTER FOR HIM, ESPECIALLY SINCE HE COULD CHANGE HIS MAJOR WITH NOW PROBLEM, AND HE MIGHT BE APPLYING TO MEDICAL SCHOOL. wHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK. wOULD GOING TO A SMALLER UNIVERISTY AFFECT HIS CHANCES OF GETTING INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL. THANKS</p>

<p>St. Francis Xavier (Antigonish, NS) - 4,215
Mt. Allison (Sackville, NB) - 2,200
Acadia (Wolfville, NS) - 4,074</p>

<p>These are the most respected colleges in terms of name recognition in this type of school, somewhat similar to a US LAC.</p>
