Northeast
Christian College is situated on the banks of the historic and beautiful
Nashwaak River. This river flows from central New Brunswick to join the
St. John River here in the city of Fredericton. The College is located
in a residential area known as Marysville.
A little must be
said about the city of Fredericton. It is a very beautiful city, and
rightly known as the "City of Stately Elms". The lazy St.
John River winds its way over the Mactaquac Dam, then slowly past the
domed Legislative buildings, the museum and art gallery. Three bridges
provide a beautiful setting for the photographer who is looking for
a quiet pictorial scene.
The city of Fredericton
is an educational centre. Here we find the University of New Brunswick
and St. Thomas University. Being the provincial capital, it is also
the cultural centre for this area. Lord Beaverbrook gave our city many
institutions which a city of this size could not normally afford. Last,
but not least, there are several United Pentecostal Churches located
within a few minutes drive from the college.
Fredericton is very
accessible by air, rail and bus. It is served by a good network of highways,
reaching west to Maine and the New England States, north to Quebec and
Ontario, and East to the other Maritime Provinces.
The college itself
is located on the bus route, which provides regular service to the downtown
area and the shopping malls. This makes it possible for the students
without a car to get around easily.
