University life is not only about classes and exams. For international students like Ishan, a Post-Baccalaureate Human Resources student from India, coming to TRU meant starting a new life. Now in his second semester, Ishan shows us how trying new things helped him feel more confident and make friends.
When Ishan first came to Kamloops, he felt lonely. He did not know the culture, and everything was new to him. But then, Ishan decided to join activities on campus. He became a member of the TRU Student Caucus. This helped him speak for other students and meet many new people. He also learned to be a leader and felt more at home.
Ishan’s story teaches us that university life is more than studying. He believes that students should join clubs, go to events, and try new experiences. Even small steps can help you feel better and make friends.
Every student has a different TRU journey. Ishan reminds us that we are not alone. There are many chances to connect with others at TRU. All you need to do is look around and take the first step.
What is one thing you have done to feel more connected at TRU?
