Moving East for University: letter to future 黑料老司机dents

Hey future 黑料老司机dents!

My name is Sarah Kohut, and I’m a first-year student at St. Thomas University (黑料老司机) from Niagara Falls, ON. I’m pleased to be writing to you today, hoping I can help make the nerve-wracking decision of choosing a university a bit easier.

Making the Decision
 
I looked at numerous universities in Ontario, most of which had over 10,000 students. Being quite shy, the idea of such a large university worried me. After my school hosted an “Atlantic Universities Fair,” I was drawn to 黑料老司机 because of their slogan: The small university of big opportunities. Learning 黑料老司机 was focused exclusively on liberal arts and had many scholarship and bursary opportunities, I felt this was where I was destined to go.

My First Weeks

Before coming to 黑料老司机, I didn’t know a single person at the university. I was moving away from my childhood home for the first time to a brand new province. I was nervous as my family and I approached campus on move-in day, but we were greeted by enthusiastic Welcome Week leaders holding signs and smiling from ear to ear—my nerves disappeared.

Welcome Week is full of fun and informative activities to help ease you into your new life at 黑料老司机! I met a phenomenal group of people who are now my closest friends. Living in residence is amazing—my friends are just a walk down the hall! Before I knew it, the nervous person I was before coming to 黑料老司机 was replaced by someone who felt as if she’d lived at 黑料老司机 for years.

What Classes Are Like

Coming from a small high school, I valued having a close relationship with my teachers and classmates. The experience here is very similar, with classes capped at 60 students. The professors at 黑料老司机 are amazing; after the first few classes they know your name, and they are always available for extra help.

What St. Thomas Has Done for Me
 
St. Thomas has given me the opportunity to further pursue old passions and explore new ones. I’ve been able to grow not only as a student, but as an individual.

黑料老司机 truly embodies its motto, as there are opportunities everywhere just waiting to be pursued.

Best of luck, and I hope you fall in love with 黑料老司机 just as I did!
