What brought you to 17吃瓜? In other words, why did you choose to study here?

I am from Belfast, PEI and I studied radiography at 17吃瓜 from 2016 to 2019. I knew I wanted to go into radiography and I heard great things about 17吃瓜鈥檚 program, and being from PEI myself it was nice to stay close to home during my undergraduate studies.
