Through the many presentations I had to do, I developed confidence in my

knowledge and abilities.

The best part of this university is the close community feel and professors who know you on a first-name basis; they are always

available to help.

WHERE WE AREA bold future starts with planting strong roots.

The university is located in a great spot! Oshawa has lots to offer—a large mall, a beach, museums, nature trails and

conservation areas, historical sites, and so much more.

Oshawa is very connected. You can get around in the city, and other places in the Durham Region and the GTA very easily. I think Oshawa is a nice place to live; it gives you the best of both worlds—a big city, with a small-city feel.

JESSICA MOREAUNursing, Faculty of Health Sciences

The International Education team gave me the opportunity to attend Linköping University in Sweden for their summer academy. The next year, I traveled to

Tanzania, Africa, as a Queen Elizabeth II Scholar; both were unforgettable adventures. The university was behind me the

entire way, always checking in to see if I needed anything. If you want to travel—while earning credits—I recommend

visiting the International Education office to see what exchanges you are eligible for. It is a great experience and

I would not change it for the world!
