  • “You don’t need to have it all figured out on day one. You bring something unique — your background, your resilience, your way of thinking.”

  • “I chose Canada because it is one of the most diverse countries in the world. Although I come from a different part of the world, I never felt I was new in that place, and it was really amazing. It was probably one of my best decisions to come to Canada.”

  • “I chose to study iBioMed at McMaster because it is the first of its kind in Canada that integrates engineering and health sciences perfectly. Also, I really like the flexible co-op program. We can do 4, 8, 12 or 16 months of co-ops at any time after the first year, which is very special to McMaster Engineering.”
