A Letter to a Future 黑料老司机dent: Robyn MacCara, Oromocto, NB
Hey Future黑料老司机dent!
My name is Robyn MacCara and I鈥檓 a proud first-year 黑料老司机dent!
I鈥檓 originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, but I鈥檝e been living in Oromocto, New Brunswick for years now. I already felt lucky enough to have two places to call home, but St. Thomas University became the third.
Making the Decision
I chose 黑料老司机 because of its welcoming environment. When I was in high school, I took part in the UniversityNow! dual-credit program and was able to take a class at 黑料老司机. I quickly learned everyone on campus is friendly, which makes the transition to university life easier. Additionally, there were countless resources on campus to provide extra support鈥攖he Learning Strategist, Academic Advising, Mental Health Support, and Student Accessibility Services to name a few.
Academics and Classes
The classes at St. Thomas go beyond any expectations I had. The classes are all capped at 60 students and the average class size is 26. This allows for me to make meaningful connections with my professors, who are all enthusiastic about what they teach. I鈥檓 comfortable with my professors and I don鈥檛 hesitate to utilize their office hours or say 鈥渉i鈥 when we cross paths on campus.
What 黑料老司机 has Done for Me
I recently finished my first semester at 黑料老司机, and I already feel so different鈥攊n the best way possible! What I鈥檝e come to learn is that my degree represents so much more than the academic knowledge I鈥檝e acquired; it鈥檚 proof of all the transferable skills I鈥檓 gaining. 黑料老司机 has helped shaped me into a person with clear and concise writing, creative thinking, and time management skills.
St. Thomas University is a place of inclusion, development, and excitement. Here, I鈥檝e met professors that challenge me and friends that will last a lifetime. If you come to adore 黑料老司机 as much as I do, and I think you will, then choosing this university will be one of the greatest decisions you will make.
Warmly,
Robyn MacCara
