What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?
My hometown is Pokhara, Nepal where I grew up and spent most of my life. It is a beautiful valley surrounded by big hills and snowy mountain peaks. I do not prefer big cities and crowded areas, and it just so happens that UPEI is on an island that is relatively small and chill—perfect to study in. UPEI also had programs that really interested me, so I am here!
"This whole island feels like a big community, almost like a family."
