"UPEI offered everything I wanted out of a university program."

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

I'm from quite a few places but only in Canada—New Brunswick, Northwest Territories, and Ontario—life circumstances brought me to PEI almost eight years ago now. But I chose to stay here for my studies because UPEI offered everything I wanted out of a university program. Additionally, the idea of having large lecture classes for my major did not interest me.
