I am a social person and enjoy making new friends. I love dancing, reading and travelling. I hope to start a dance studio in the future.

When I first arrived in Canada it was late at night. I had an airport pick-up, and the driver was waiting for me outside. The driver was so nice and knew that I was the newcomer. He asked me whether I had my dinner or not. When I said no, so he drove me the nearest restaurant before going to the college residence. My arrival was during the Christmas holiday period and there was nobody in the lobby of the residence. I used the driver’s telephone to call the number on the door and a few minutes later, the residence staff came out to meet me. When I got to my room, I found there was no pillow and blanket on the bed, so I went downstairs and asked the staff for help. They immediately brought me a pillow and blanket from storage and let me keep them. I was so grateful to the driver and staff because it was nighttime, and I felt so helpless. They helped and were so patient with me. I will never forget the first day when I came here, and I will cherish this memory forever.

There is no need to be anxious and worried about your new environment. Niagara College has many groups of people here to help you, so you won’t feel lonely. You will gain a lot if you actively participate in the activities and events organized by the college and will find a lot of friends if you want.

Explore new things and you will find it interesting and unforgettable! Be brave and you will achieve your goals.

Hi everyone, I’m Cryssy, a 4th-year student in the Honours Bachelor of Business, Human Resources program here at Niagara College. I also hold an Advanced Diploma in HR from Niagara, and I’ve been a proud student staff member for just over a year. Outside of school and work, I’m passionate about archery. It’s my way to unwind and refocus. My time at NC has been and is filled with growth, opportunity, and plenty of laughs along the way.

One memory that still makes me laugh was working on the NC Engage app and testing the block feature with my boss, Marilia. We both had the same thought and blocked each other! Aside from that, being elected President of HR@NC and launching the Debate Club at the DJP campus have been huge highlights. Both roles have allowed me to build community and grow as a leader in ways I never expected. The most recent memory I have is of the Student Engagement/NCSAC Gala at the end of the school year. It was magical to join my friends, coworkers, and other staff and students in a night of excellence, and I found it truly amazing.

Niagara College truly helped me step out of my own comfort zone, and that’s where the real growth happened. Whether it was applying for student leadership roles, speaking up in class, or starting something new, I found confidence by just saying “yes.” My advice: don’t be afraid to take chances here. You’ll surprise yourself with how far you can go and what you can achieve when you do.

Presently, I am a student at Niagara College and I have worked as a teacher in the past before switching my career into the administration field. I enjoy attending various events at college and making new friends in the process. In addition to this, I have travelled a lot around Niagara region during my first year as a student so, if you are looking for bus routes, I may be able to support you or find the right resource.
