"Being a student from a different culture makes it hard to make friends and meet new people who are going through the same thing. Laurier International helped me by organizing different events that introduced me to new people, cultures and things. Laurier International has become a family for me, which has made my four-year journey feel like an adventure on which I am not alone. Laurier has become my home away from home."
