Lakehead University in Thunder Bay is expecting an increase in its student population this fall.
Applications from high school students are up more than 6 per cent over last year.
President Fred Gilbert says students see the university as an attractive destination.
"Since we're above the provincial average it's very clear for a host of reasons more students are selecting us as their first choice," says Gilbert.
Gilbert says the university has the capacity to meet an expected increase in enrollment.
