Approximately 1050 students of the University of Alberta study full-time at the Augustana Campus.[1] About half of the students live on campus.[1] The Faculty draws from the surrounding area, (especially rural areas throughout Alberta) from the rest of Canada and elsewhere to make up its student population and staff. About 15% of the student body are International students from a variety of countries around the world.
