Good point. Until relatively recently, there weren't (with the very odd exception) many tertiary education institutions in smaller locales in Canada. Going to university in Canada typically meant going to the big city, especially out west.
These days there are smaller cities and towns with universities so that is starting to change.
It's a far cry from the US where you literally have small towns with universities, e.g. Mayville, ND, pop 1,858, which is home to Mayville State University (there are many other similar examples). With the end result being that if you want to go beyond high school without leaving the farm, you can in many cases. That isn't quite as easy in Canada.
