Hi Mikhail! Who or what encouraged you to study at CNC?
Friends and family told us the education in Canada is very good. Before coming to Canada, my wife and I did our research and found lots of schools. We have an uncle living in Toronto, so we looked at options there. But it was the feedback from another international student who made me decide to come to Prince George. They said: “At CNC, every student has a chance to shine”. I thought by myself, I also deserve to shine!
What do you like the best about CNC?
CNC isn’t just a great school for learning; it’s also affordable and there are many supports for international students. Plus, the faculty and staff are always cheerful, kind and helpful. You will never see a grumpy professor here. The smaller class sizes allow me to get one-on-one time with the instructors and help me to understand each class better.
If you could give one piece of advice to new international students, what would it be?
Take things one step at a time. You don’t need to learn and understand everything at once. It’s better to learn things slowly but surely. Also, don’t forget to have fun while you’re here. At CNC, there’s lots of opportunities to build connections and create your network.
Did you know that… the tech sector in B.C. is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy, supporting over
