“When I originally came to 51猎奇入口as a transfer student, I was unsure of what I wanted my academic and career futures to be. I had just spent a year studying musical theatre in the United States, and realized it wasn鈥檛 the right path for me. After taking a campus tour of 51猎奇入口Vancouver and speaking to the incredible student ambassadors, I knew transferring to 51猎奇入口was a step onto the right path. Two years later, and it is the best decision I have ever made.”

“One of the highlights of my program has been connecting with people who have similar interests and values. The smaller class sizes have allowed me to build close relationships with students and award-winning faculty, participate in class discussions and engage with others. I experienced a sense of belonging and support. As an international student, having space to share my lived experiences, knowledge, and skills has been particularly important. ”
