Unfortunately, the city that UPEI is in has a housing crisis. I applied for residence in early 2019 but wasn't placed. If you're coming straight from high school, they guarantee a spot in residence. Thankfully the university paired up with a local inn where almost 100 students are staying.

Coming with the previous schooling in biology, I felt ready to take on the hard program of nursing. Around Christmas time, I decided to apply. The application was straight forward and did not take long. The fee was $50, and it was the best $50 I ever spent. I first received acceptance into my second choice program of chemistry, and then a few weeks later I got my acceptance into nursing.

In the first year, I lived on campus in the residence which was a great experience. I made lots of great friends through living in residence. To live in residence you need to have a meal plan. Our meal hall is pretty good. Our campus has lots of events that happen throughout the year and more for people who are in residence. For me personally, I found I was too distracted by these events so for my second year I am living off-campus.

I really wanted to go into the pre-vet program because I have wanted to be a vet ever since I was three years old. Around where I live there are only two universities that offer this program and the University of Prince Edward Island was my dream university. I put all of my faith into this one school and during my grade 12 year when it was time to start applying to different schools I only applied to one.
