Name: Kotoe Kawauchi

Country of Origin: Japan

Place of Study: The Language Exchange, Toronto

I'm attending The Language Exchange and studying TOEFL. I really like this school, because I have a lot of opportunity to speak with the teachers. My school is small. Therefore all students and teachers are always together, and there is also a multinational mix. I have met Swiss, Germans, Mexicans, Russians and others. When I went to a big school, I couldn't see that much nationality!

We have a variety of activities. They are enjoyable, and we can have a lot of fun with different friends from other countries. I have a good time. Everything is precious memories with my precious friends. What I especially like is our teachers. They are skilful, and very friendly. In our attempt to succeed in our life overseas, we need to choose a school carefully, because improving our English and making a lot of good friends depends on the school. I'm going back to my country soon. I'm sure that I'll miss the school, my friends and Canada, but I will always have great memories.

Name: Kang Han Keun (Peter)

Country of Origin: Korea

Place of Study: Inter-Dec College, subsidiary of the LaSalle College Group, Montreal, Canada

I'm from South Korea. Kang Han Keun is my real name, but most of my friends in Canada prefer to call me Peter because it is easier to remember. I have met lots of friends since I arrived in Canada in April of last year. I have just graduated from the Animation / Multimedia Program at Inter-Dec-College in Montreal, a subsidiary of the LaSalle College Group.

When I decided to go to Canada to study, my friends said "Are you crazy or what?". I had no relatives or friends in Montreal. I am also not that young anymore to start a new direction in life. I had found Inter-Dec-College through the Internet and I met the Coordinator for International Recruitment for the LaSalle College Group in Korea at the Canadian Education Fair.

What motivated me to study in Canada was that Montreal is one of the best cities for learning Animation / Multimedia and also that it is a safe city. I worked very hard to succeed in my studies. I learned how to manage myself and how to create my future.

Now that I am a graduate, if anyone needed advice on the best city to study abroad, I would recommend Montreal without any hesitation.

International Student Profiles

Within this site we look to create a personal touch by featuring profiles from international students around the world. This gives those already studying away from home the chance to let others know how they have found the experience of studying in a foreign country and the benefits of studying abroad. Because the site has such an international focus, wherever your place of study is in the world, we will be interested in hearing from you.

Each profile should be around 120 words in length and should state the student's name, country of origin and place of study (name of university/college/school). If possible, please also send a passport size or larger photograph or a .jpg file.
