University visits this week:
Grade 12s are deep in conversations with their counsellors about applying to schools that are a good fit. Grade 10s and 11s can start exploring schools and programs by looking through the search links posted in the folders on Blackboard in the University Counselling Course. Let you counsellor know if you have questions and book an appointment to talk further.
Finding your Best Fit involves identifying an institution that provides academic programs aligning with your passions and resonates with your personal values, preferences, and long-term aspirations. It encompasses discovering a place where the location, residence, community, and academic offerings harmoniously combine to create a sense of belonging and comfort, thereby ensuring a truly enriching and successful university experience.
