Calgary & Area: Out-of-Province Post-Secondary Week!

If I had a dollar for every time someone mentioned post-secondary to me this month, I’d have enough to pay for post-secondary tuition. Although overwhelming, this time next year, I’ll be applying to universities, and I’ll be glad I’ve already thought about my options. But if you haven’t, would like to or just need another reminder, you clicked on the right post!

Starting Monday, October 26 (this week), representatives from out-of-province universities will be visiting YOUR high school or a high school near you. From Acadia to UBC, you will have the chance to meet with people from your prospective universities and learn more about the opportunities available to you there. I suggest you take advantage of this, and leave with a good understanding of what you want and where you want to be come university. You might not have it all planned out, but it’s great to have something.
