Congratulations to students who have been able to land in Canada & will be starting school in January.
Some things to note:
- Get yourself a very good winter jacket.
- Have your gloves with you at all times.
- If you don't drive, check bus schedule before going out.
- Aside Toronto, buses run every 30 mins on weekdays & every 1hr on weekends.
- Before buying textbooks, check with Lecturers if they are okay with you borrowing from Library rather than owning.
- If you can't afford the school residence, you can rent very close to school.
- As a student, you are allowed to work 20 hours per week.
- It is cheaper to cook than to eat out.
- Sobeys is a high end grocery store for students. Try others.
- Connect with students from prior year for course tips.
- Ask questions a lot in class.
30 things I learnt about life, career, and relationships before turning 30.
1. You can never be everyone's favourite. Some will love you for no reason. Some will rather not associate with you, and that is totally fine too.
2. There are topics and areas of life I know absolutely nothing about, but the more I read, the less ignorant I become.
3. The friendships that lasted a year, a week, or even an evening can be as transformational as the friendships that lasted years. A friendship made in less than a month can leave a year’s impact. In all, friends come and go, but they are incredibly important.
