Columbia College was the first institution which I attended upon my arrival to Canada. Ultimately, it was the window through which I explored Canada and Vancouver in particular.

The staff and the College’s education programs were designed in a way that allowed me to easily transition into a different education system and new community. The courses allowed me to develop technical skills such as business writing, academic research, and communication, which were the underlying reasons of my later academic success. In addition, classroom discussions and interactions with instructors helped me grow my critical thinking and presentation skills which I still utilize in my professional career. Overall, my educational experience at CC was very rewarding and enjoyable.
