Relationship with UNB The relationship between St. Thomas University and the University of New Brunswick is unique when it comes to Canadian universities. The two campus share the college hill area in Fredericton, classifying New Brunswick's capital city as a university town. The two institutions now share facilities for their student unions, libraries, and athletics, and they have a common heating plant. However, STU and UNB itself are financially and academically separate. STU is able to offer many amenities other smaller schools can't, thanks in large part to its UNB partnership. The two universities have a good natured rivalry with each other. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...
