It’s been an exciting but challenging journey. When you come from a non-English-speaking country, learning in a new environment can be difficult, but the good thing about UCW is how friendly the faculty are when it comes to the language barrier. The Associate of Arts degree offers different areas to choose from, and in my case, I chose Marketing, which will be a beneficial field for me in Vancouver. Although it was tough initially, I’ve enjoyed each and every one of my courses, the learning process, the University’s facilities and the diversity of my classmates.
