I chose to attend UOIT for the variety ofprograms it had, which includes my major

in Criminology and Justice. My personal

research about UOIT found there was an

ever-increasing number of international

students joining the university and this

was important to me, having never been to

Canada. I nd everyone at this university

to be so accommodating and so kind to me

that I never had a worry or a care. After

graduation, I plan to move back to my

home country of Bermuda and pursue

my dream career as a parole and

I like UOIT because it quenches my thirst

for volunteering. In the previous year I

was an active member of various clubs

on campus like the Muslim and Pakistan
