Coming to Canada to study as an International student has been the best experience for me so far. At first I was very nervous about coming up here. How am I going to get along with everyone? Will the students like me? How will I survive managing my way through the snow! What if I get lost? This entire journey has taught me how to survive and adapt to a new environment as well as weather conditions I had never been exposed to. The people were extremely friendly and helpful and there was always something new to see and do in Nova Scotia. I became more sociable and learnt all kinds of new skills and tasted all kinds of different foods. It took some getting used to and I wondered what I had signed myself up for – In the end I conquered all my worries came to love my life as a student at NSCC. I will truly miss everyone and urge my friends back home to try this journey for themselves and further their educational and professional abilities for the world ahead by coming here.
