Joining the four-week summer program offered by the University of British Columbia, Canada (UBC) is the best decision made in my life. The program provided me the opportunity to take any two courses (Business, Forestry, or even Medicine and pharmaceutical sciences) but I chose Education related package. Different faculty offered different activities for their students. For me, there were a real baseball match, FlyOver Canada, movie night, museum visit, etc. By offering diverse educational experiences, I engaged in cross-disciplinary learning and develop my understanding of Canadian culture.
Apart from the academic and campus life in UBC, I arrived Canada one month before the program started as I was excited and wanted to explore more with this special chance. I went to several places such as Whistler, Jasper and Banff as these places are quite far from UBC. Travelling to unknown places and blending in the local culture are fruitful. Hot spring, mountains, lakes, Icefield … All these nature sceneries were peaceful, stunning and breathtaking. Not to mention various animals such as squirrel family in campus, goats and little bears on freeway. I really miss these relaxing days, the cool weather, the free breakfast, the cute animals and everything there. I would never forget these loving days.
