University of Ottawa Ultimate Survival Guide Part Two
I remember when I was in university, I was overwhelmed by all the resources online. I had no idea what information would be useful and what I should save for future reference. Reflecting back on my experience, I decided to create the ultimate survival guide for the University of Ottawa.
