"Consider co-operative education at UPEI. It's the best decision I ever made!"
What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?
My parents are from Edo State, Nigeria but I grew up in Lagos. My dad hired an agent to look for universities in Canada, and UPEI was one of the options. I chose UPEI because I liked what I had read about the Business program, and also because I incorrectly believed it never got colder than -7 degrees Celsius here.
