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

My hometown is outside of Truro, Nova Scotia. My program is a bachelor's degree in Sociology/Anthropology with a minor in Indigenous Studies. I'm in my fourth year, and I will be graduating in May. My mother went to UPEI, and it's relatively close to my hometown and family. I really love UPEI's small size and how I can get close to my professors. My small program allows me to meet with my peers, receive attention from my teachers, and build connections.
