While studying at York School of Continuing Studies as an international student, I had a transformative experience that influenced my academic and professional path. I've felt a range of emotions in the last two years, such as thankfulness, reminiscence, and achievement. The aim of this blog post is to discuss the personal encounters, challenges faced, and opportunities seized during my time at York University. Moreover, I will provide advice to potential students who are contemplating pursuing an education abroad at York School of Continuing Studies.
