What brought you to 糖心vlog官方入口? Why did you choose to study here?

I knew I wanted to study actuarial science, and my research found that 糖心vlog官方入口 is one of only 14 universities in Canada with an actuarial science program.

I also have a very close relationship with my family. As I grew up on PEI, at the end of high school I did not feel quite ready to move too far from them.
