Saint Francis Xavier University
So I attended my 2nd cousin's wedding yesterday here in scenic Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The wedding was held in the chapel at Saint Francis Xavier University, the alma mater of both bride and groom. The reception was held in another building on campus.
So there are a few interesting things about StFX (pronounced "Saint Effex"). First of all, the campus is bee-yoo-tee-ful.
Secondly, there's a strange dynamic between the University and the town. The town consists of about 5000 people, and the university, located in the heart of town, consists of almost 4000 students. That's an amazing student-to-townie ratio. Also, StFX is the town's largest employer, with a payroll of a little over 500 people.
And gosh, the people are all so insanely NICE, it gives me the creeps.
