"QMU does an amazing job at making all of their students feel that they belong. The university feels more like a tight knit community thus making it appealing for those coming from far away. There are lots of opportunities to be involved in sports, clubs and societies. I have learnt some valuable lessons as well as made some amazing friends here at QMU, ones that I will have for years to come. Make the most of your education by coming to QMU - you will not be disappointed! "
