What brought you to 黑料吃瓜? In other words, why did you choose to study here?

I鈥檝e lived all my life on PEI, so 黑料吃瓜 was very high on my list of options. I checked out similar degree programs at universities and colleges from Ontario to Newfoundland and Labrador and found that the structure of 黑料吃瓜鈥檚 Bachelor of Integrated Studies pathway suited my needs the best. There were a variety of online courses and other hybrid classes that I could take, so I only had to be on campus on weekends to write exams, which was perfect for me.
