Fredericton, NB, Canada
One of North America's oldest public universities, with a long-established forestry specialism across two distinct New Brunswick campuses.
Founded in 1785, UNB is one of the oldest public universities in North America, and its Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Management carries a genuine, long-established reputation tied directly to New Brunswick's forest industry. Students choose between two genuinely different campus experiences under one institution: Fredericton, the provincial capital with a calmer hillside setting, and Saint John, an industrial port city, both offering solid engineering and one of Atlantic Canada's older law faculties. Living costs across both campuses are among the more accessible in Atlantic Canada, and UNB's long history gives it an established alumni network.
