The Burlington campus will not be serving your typical undergraduate. According to their own website: "Executive programs and some graduate programs, including the MBA program, will be located there." It is designed to attract graduates and employed professionals looking for MBA and continuing education courses. This demographic can afford living in Burlington, which is the principle bedroom community for a significant segment of Toronto's business community. The campus is also located directly beside Appleby GO Station and is therefore easily accessible by either car or public transit.
