  College Supplies You must need                                 7 Essentials for Surviving                             If you’re a new student coming to Vancouver, welcome to one of the chilliest but rainiest places in Canada, it's called Raincouver for a reason. You’ve probably already been spammed with "college must-haves" on TikTok or Amazon lists with 100+ things. But let’s keep it real—you don’t need half of that stuff.

    Finding Culture as a New Student                            Connecting Through Diversity                       Moving to a new city is always exciting and a little intimidating. When I first moved to Vancouver to study, I knew I would take some time to settle in and find new people. One thing that I didn’t expect was how much I would learn from exploring the city and talking to people from different cultures.   Like many places in Canada, Vancouver is one of the most multicultural places I have ever been. From the moment I start walking down Robson Street or ride in the SkyTrain, I can hear at least 3 different conversations in different languages. From that moment, I realized I was not only going to learn while studying my degree but also by making genuine connections with people from different cultures.  One of my favourite cultural...
