Students take many of the same classes together. They look to each other for help, taking inspiration from each other\u2019s successes during their time at Carleton and after they graduate.&nbsp;This strong sense of community leads to academic success and life-long friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Environmental Science undergraduate student room is used for research or study purposes or simply as a focal point for meeting and socializing with others in the program. This room helps to enhance the learning experience, forming a network of associations and friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are encouraged to participate in the Environmental Science Student Association (ESSA).&nbsp; The club arranges fun events, visits, and seminars for undergraduate students in our program to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Program Inquiries?
