My advice to prospective students is to take an active role in finding your community on campus! There are many clubs and activities/opportunities here, but you have to be willing to reach out and attend/join them.
One of my favorite classes has been ART 425: Writing for Artists, Curators, and Critics with Professor Mark Durant. It was a fantastic class because I was able to learn new writing techniques, and have deeper discussions on how to make my writing more impactful. Professor Durant had a wealth of knowledge to share which was extremely helpful in my literary growth.
My favorite local shop is Taste Tea in Arbutus, because its the perfect spot to grab a simple "After-Classes treat", "Mid-Week Treat" or "Pick-Me-Up Treat"!
I volunteered/worked as the Teacher's Assistant throughout high school.
