What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

I'm from Kensington, PEI and I moved away for my first year and went to Acadia. Unfortunately, during my first year I lost my older brother and wanted to move home to be closer to family, friends, and supports. I wanted to apply to nursing, so I was happy to be able to do it at UPEI and stay close to my friends and family.
