I graduated from university and decided to create student guides for the top Canadian universities. My goal is to bring awareness to the best student resources and services. Each university offers similar support but at the end of the day, it is up to you to make the most of your experience. My only advice is I encourage you to try something new and step out of your comfort zone each semester.
