“
I was inspired to study at the University of Lethbridge because it is a world renowned top research institution. Even though we are a small campus we make incredible strides. My program is teaching me how to think about people and society, and one day when I become a judge, I can make a positive impact on the wider Canadian society and on women and girls at large.”

“
China Accounting Lethbridge Campus
Deciding to study at the University of Lethbridge, boiled down to three main things: the province’s economy, work opportunities, and access to affordable cost of study and living. After balancing these ideals with other provinces and universities, I found that the University of Lethbridge is the best choice overall.”
