Attending College or University

Transitioning from high school to college or university is a big change. If you are coming from a small First Nation, the school will likely have more students than the population of your community! There will also be students from around the world who will be learning alongside you.

There’s so much opportunities for yourself to take, such as meeting new people, participating in extracurricular activities and you can do what interests you. Also, you will notice the way you feel your mind opening up in a way that you enjoy.”
