According to a report in the Brantford Expositor, the 2012 class for Nipissing University's Brantford campus has reached 996 this year.

The North Bay, Ontario institution is often overlooked in the Brantford community when discussion arise about post-secondary education but clearly, that is a mistake.  While only one-third the size of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, it is an institution on the move.  The cornerstone of its program is the five year bachelor program that is staged in conjunction with Laurier.  This allows students to earn both a subject area degree and a bachelor of education.

Combined with Laurier that gives the Brantford campus approximately 4,000 university students in 2012.
