-Why did you choose Concordia?
I decided to go to Concordia because I wanted to go to college for my future. And the reason why I wanted to go to university was that I wanted to have an experience that I could have grown up while I was young so that I wouldn’t wish that I had learned English or overseas when I become in my 30s or 40s without challenging myself. When I was thinking about which university to go to, my relatives recommended other universities. Still, I found out that the tuition was too expensive and difficult to go, and I found the Concordia website and contacted them. The main reason I chose Concordia was not only because of my studies but also because I can get internship chances to adapt directly to local life. Learning how to overcome the difficulties of working outside of my country where I was born will lead to my growth.

-Any concerns about stuyding abroad?
It’s my first time studying abroad, so I’m imagining that just getting on the train will make me feel dizzy! haha There are more expectations than worrying about it, so I am studying IELTS to enjoy spending my time more there. I make it a habit to memorize 100 words every day, and no matter how busy I am, I’m trying to continue to do it at least. Also, I’m busy studying for the national licenses and getting a driving license, but I want to study abroad this year. I’ll do my best in English!

-Any experiences study abroad before?
I don’t have any experience studying abroad. It’s my first time going to university abroad!

-Any plans after the graduation?
To be honest, I haven’t decided yet. However, through studying abroad, I want to find a job that suits me rather than a job that I like. When I see a job that suits me and is easier to work overseas, I’d like to study hard with an eye on working abroad.
