Honestly, counselling was never something I thought I would need. In my mind, counselling was for people facing serious situations: crisis, trauma, or something clearly overwhelming. When I first came to Canada as an international student, I assumed everything I was feeling was just part of the process: homesickness, stress, loneliness, pressure to do well, and figuring life out in a new country. Everyone goes through this, right? So, I told myself I just needed to be stronger and push through.

Hi, I’m Anderson — your friendly “living-on-a-budget helper” for today. Since I can usually tell within ten minutes which items in this week’s supermarket flyers are actually good deals and which ones are just “okay,” I thought I’d share a few simple tips to help lower your living costs — without lowering your quality of life.
My name is Sergio, and I work in the International Student Support at Seneca. I want to share my journey: from being an international student to work at Seneca supporting international students. I hope you find valuable insights that can help you on your own path.
Winter is coming soon, and whether this is your first winter in Toronto or you’ve already experienced a few, it’s completely normal to have mixed feelings about it. I still remember my first winter here ...
Every year on November 11th, Canadians pause to remember and honour the people who served, and continue t serve in the military during times of war, conflict and peacekeeping. This day is called Remembrance Day, and it's one of the most solemn and meaningful commemorations in Canada.
