What brought you to ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú? Why did you choose to study here?

I grew up in a small city in central Alberta, called Wetaskiwin. We were once only known as the city with the worst crime rates in Canada. Coming to ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú was a bit of a choice I made on a whim—I wanted out of Alberta, to experience other provinces and places. I had only ever lived in the same areas, with my family always close by. I wanted to be able to adventure out and experience other sides of Canada, and not just what I was familiar with.

What brought you to ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú? Why did you choose to study here?

​I'm originally from Kingston, Ontario, and I moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia in my teens. ​I have always known that I have wanted to pursue my education in my native language and ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú offered just that. Attending ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú interested me because I had always heard wonderful comments about the university, the campus is close enough to home, and the program I was interested in checked every box that needed to be checked.
