“Greetings, my name is Dariya – I am a student from Russia. Before I started my academic program, I finished one term of the Trent-ESL: English for University program. This program not only helped me improve my English, but also prepared me for academic studies. The learning process takes place in small groups of 15 to 18 students, and personal attention is given to each student. Furthermore, it is a very interactive learning environment and students actively participate in the learning process. After completion of the program, it was easy for me to start an academic program as I was already aware of all academic requirements and knew about university resources I could utilize. I was happy with my choice of Trent University and I could really focus on my studies knowing that I would get help from professors, staff and upper-year students when I needed it.”
