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

I was born in Kingston, Ontario, but moved around the country a few times during my childhood because of my dad鈥檚 career as a military pilot. Despite moving so much, one place has always felt like home鈥擯rince Edward Island. Every summer, my family would make the drive to PEI, where we spent time with friends and family, and created memories that have shaped who I am. As a high school student approaching graduation, I spent a lot of time weighing my options for university.
