What brought you to UPEI? 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 69´«Ã½offered just that. Attending 69´«Ã½interested 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.
