"The Panther community is a tight-knit group who support and encourage each other."
What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?
I was born in Kawasaki, Japan and moved to Prince Edward Island when I was eight years old. I’ve lived in Charlottetown ever since, so I became very familiar with the campus, the sport teams, and events even before I started to apply to universities. I remember going to the haunted mansion that the UPEI music program had put on and I remember being petrified in the best way by the end.
