When I first stepped into the York University campus as an international student, I was filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension. The post-graduate diploma in digital and content marketing at the School of Continuing Studies was set to become my gateway into the dynamic world of digital marketing in Canada. While I had prior experience in social media marketing in India, I decided to move to Toronto to upskill myself and experience Canadian life and culture. Little did I know that my York University experience would be a rollercoaster of experiences, challenges, and growth.

Join me as I embark on a transformative journey from the vibrant hallways of Seneca College to the scholarly ambiance of York University through the lens of a continuing studies student in Canada.

"It can be scary to go back to school, but it felt like a fresh start for my career when I enrolled in York University's School of Continuing Studies in January 2023. It was a new beginning in a new country with diverse cultures, and it truly was an incredible experience!"
