“Helped to make life-changing decision easier”
Staff was always reachable for literally any questions I had. They helped me consider my unique situation and guided me through this complicated process. Especially considering that this is my first-time postgraduate study in Canada. During the admissions process, I was given very well organized support, and I had a clear understanding of what to expect for the next two years. It made decision-making much easier. Thank you!
